Creating English curriculum without asking the NES right there in their schools, is typical of Thai department heads here. The attitude of 'I can't lose face' means that they would rather get it wrong than ask for help from someone that speaks the language. It is purely a box ticking exercise here and everything and I mean everything, is all show and absolutely no substance.

 

In my Uni, there are incorrectly displayed documents and posters in incorrect English all over the place. When you mention it, you are seen as a trouble maker! Wow!

 

When they ask me is everything OK, I just tell them 'Yes.' That's all they want to hear and to say anything else, is as I said before, creating trouble for yourself.

 

It is all a shambles.

Here in Korat, I have a few friends that teach English. They all have said that you aren't allowed to fail the student even though they are failing.

Why do I have a feeling that nobody consulted the guards? It's all well and good dreaming up these wheezes from your plush office when it isn't you who will be facing the furious inmates...

Exactly!

I’m going to the US Consulate next week to get my Income Affidavit.  Of course the US never certifies anything(it is just an Affirmation Under Oath). I will ask if the US Consulate has plans to terminate this sevice?  In my case the 800K deposit is a no-go and direct depositing my pension into any Foreign Banks is also a no-go.  Maybe my time in LOS is coming to end soon?  

Be sure to post your findings on this. It's going to be interesting to hear what's next for the U.S. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Here in Korat, they muzzle dogs that owners know or think that they will bite. I don't agree with that, as the dog is running in the streets and unable to have water. But, a million baht is not too much to pay, considering the plan the family says they have for it. And yes, the dogs need to be put down.

I don't know what the reason was, but stabbing  the woman in front of the child?????? That says something.  This man just sealed his fate with the boy. Assaulting mom like that is why children hate their fathers.

I totally agree. He needs to go directly to jail here, then send him back to serve his time on their dime. 

I've been coming here since 1973. I'm currently on a retirement visa and I do have a health and life insurance policy in place, that I purchased through Samsung life and Health.

Socialization seems to be the issue here. To much face to the phone and computers. Well, that's what I think...

Awesome job Big joke. Keep up the good work.

He needs to go on a one-way fishing trip. I have zero respect for human traffickers.

Err not attempted murder?

My thoughts exactly.

I'm surprised Tland isn't number 1.

RIP. I'm glad I got out when I did.
