Hi everyone. I've been recruited in the UK to teach at a school in Bangkok at the end of the month. My non-immigrant B has just been obtained over here in London, with a director of the school as the Guarantor address given on the application form. I am then meant to sign the contract when I get there. I've also bought my flight, a one-way ticket as the contract would be for a year, leaving 28th.
I've since read/ realised a lot of stuff about this school, and now I don't want to work for them! (reasons: 28 hours a week contact teaching, 15 hours at weekends, I pay 6,000 baht for them to sort my work permit etc). I know there are other language schools in Thailand I'd rather work for, where the pay would be better and hours less. I am frantically applying over the internet, but am not sure of wrapping something up quickly, before the time of my flight.
Can I go to Thailand on the non-immigrant B, and then just disappear and join a new language school and get them to sort a new visa/work permit out, or do non-immigrant B's always have to be sorted before arriving in the country? Or... can I go there on a tourist visa, find employment, and then get the school to sort new visa/work permit? Or should I just continue to try and find work from the UK, get a new non-immigrant B, and perhaps change my flight?
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful. And if anyone could recommend a humane language school in a great setting that is sympathetic to qualified teachers with not much experience, I'd also be grateful!
Thankyou.
