  1. Defamation is a criminal offense in Thailand and would need to be reported to the police. A lawyer may be able to represent you  but is it worth it financially?  a decent lawyer may be able to pressure the school into desisting but you, the foreigner, start from a position of disadvantage. Win or lose it may suggest that your teaching career is over in Thailand either from misinformation or that you dare to stand up for yourself, however, there is a good chance you will get a result from the ministry of labour re your contract. is it worth the attention you would achieve for a couple of weeks salary? 

    Above is a list of considerations that may or may not help you decide what to do. Personally I think your time in Thailand is drawing to a close if teaching  is the only way for you to survive. Korea pays well ????

    I think that was for 400k baht in the bank not the 40k baht income option foreign transfer requirement.

    that is correct although i understand your thai partner could satisfy the monthly requirement.  incidentally my better half satisfies that by more than  3 times. not that we tried that at the time and am not sure if things have changed as mine was only that way for my first marriage visa as I have since bought over a few million b from the UK.

    Who ever told you that that local transfers were accepted was completely wrong unless you earned it here from employment that requires a work permit. You must have proof the 40k baht transfers were from abroad.

    Two months is the correct amount of time the 400k baht has to be in a Thai bank for on the day you apply for the extension.

    You can apply for 60 day extension to visit your wife if you have not gotten one since your last entry to the country.

    If you have gotten one already then you could apply for a 60 day covid 19 extension.

    not true. my first one was a local transfer from my Mrs and completed at CW. 

  4. mfa do not translate anything they just issue a stamp. best get your embassy letter and either go direct to an agent or like we did headed to mfa and employed an agent there.  There are many about. When we did it we paid 1500b handed over our details, signed a form and went home. The docs turned up, at home, 5 or 6 days later. either way it will not happen on day 1. aha maybe it will with the lack of overseas visitors around.

    it's to do with a level playing field, the same in many countries, it stops the creation of division between those who have and those who have not. education is equal for all so all should follow the rules.

     

    teachers being allowed to cut a student's hair is another matter.

    Do you get the army going to schools and getting  children to chant how they must obey and the 7 ways to be Thai . According to the military

    Nor would a helmet. 

    She was wearing a helmet. it kept her intact but did nor prevent her receiving enough pressure to be instantly fatal. She looked normal apart from a little blood from her ears. They stole her gold also. Interestingly this happened in my first year of living here. Her funeral  was something  else where I had to actually set fire to her and pick through her ashes the next day to collect the pieces of unburned bone which were placed in a family tomb .  In the UK death is very sanitized unlike here.

  7. After 15 years here I eat mainly thai food when out but rarely eat it at home. I bake and cook what I desire when home and use food panda once a week for something different   given the choice it would be Indian and Italian for me. Today I'll have a salad with a few chips (fries to the colonials) and some extra mature cheddar. I had tomatoes a little grated cheddar with a piece of brown toast for breakfast. Maybe something light in the evening. That maintains my 114kg ????
