That's not the point.

Ok, then what is true true true?

In the past you could. But since immigration started to check the schools, it's more or less impossible. Schools would have to pay a huge fine if immigration finds out, and the teacher risks deportation. Your only options are schools that don't care or some agencies. And you can't get a work permit or teacher's license without a proper degree,

So explain please why they can produce cheaper than anyone else.

"thunderstorms in 40% of the area" almost a 50-50 chance that it will rain here. how come it feels rather like a 10% chance? most of the time it just gets dark, the wind blows stronger - and that's it. no rain whatsoever 😡

as far as I know it's about the 4 skills listening, speaking, reading, writing. picture dictation, questions students have to answer (criteria: how fluent and creative) etc. sorry, I have no sample questions.

Not true in my experience. Immigration came to all schools in town and checked the teachers. Schools won't let you teach anymore without a work permit.

I wonder how many foreign teachers in Thailand have such a qualification. 10%? Or less? 🤔

The dates actually changed quite a lot. I checked the students schedule as for academic year 2024/25: Semester 1: 10. June -14. October. Semester 2: 28. October -7. March. For teachers it wasn't 2 months break as they had to submit grades, attend meetings at end and beginning of semester. At a primary school I had 2-3 weeks holiday in October and 4-6 weeks in April/May. So it's not much difference. Salary seems to be the same for all Rajabhats afaik. Interesting that there's an application fee which has doubled to 400 Baht.

I worked at a Rajabaht University as an English teacher and at a government school. Salary at Rajabhat was lower, about 29k. Didn't have the feeling you have more holiday at Rajabhat, but the workload was definitely more. Partly because I got subjects to teach I hadn't taught before and had to create my own syllabus and curriculum etc. Also, to prepare tests and exams was far more time consuming at Rajabhat.

I was also asked to pay 500 Baht for residency certificate by Immigration. I replied I heard it's free. And the officer didn't mention the 500 Baht again.

I have a single entry Non-O marriage and I worked with that visa. Once I even went to Immigration as the employer thought I'd need to change to Non-B. So they took me to Immigration even I said no need- and Immigration confirmed: no need to change.

yep, got an appointment for June 30 at a dental hospital.

Ahh, ok, thanks to all.

Exactly. I know that Krungthai will charge you up to 1500 for sending money to a foreign country. But receiving? Haven't had time yet to go to Krungthai, will go in soon.

Tbh, I'm not that familiar with wise. I was sent Euro to my Krungthai bank account and there converted to Thai Baht. i asked the sender and they said the fee must be on my side. So, what can I do - or they do - to avoid that high fee? Are there better types of wise transactions?

Yep, I know. The wise pdf says paid 513 Euro, fee 3,84 Euro. Transferred by Wise Euro sent by SWIFT.

I didn't send it, but I saw the pdf file from wise and it was just some Euros fee. As for Krungthai, I saw on the App that I received it, there's no information where or from whom it came from. Zero.

I got a transfer from Wise, about 503 Euros after Wise fees were sent. I received just 18933 Baht, more than 1000 Baht less than expected. Are there any fees involved like conversion fees? 1000 Baht less seems quite much. Anyone has an idea?

Is there a final answer? I asked Krusapa regarding a similar matter. They never specifically answered my question, but recommended 3 or 4 universities that are recognized.

I read you need a Thai ID card to open an account at Binance Thailand. Not true anymore? And what are the advantages compared to Bitkub? Fee looks the same. Both have many coins not listed on the platform,, but Binance Thailand seems to have at least more coins listed than Bitkub. I'm not sure where is Binance TH located, don't see any information on it on the website.

You have to go to deemoney in Bangkok in person to open an account, right?
