    How can Thailand draw more/better EFL teachers? Simple. Start by paying wages that are on par with Vietnam, Taiwan, etc., and cut the bureaucratic BS that makes it so difficult for teachers to obtain visas and work permits and actually live here legally.

     

    Schools and language centres must put up a million THB in registered capital to obtain a single work permit for a foreign teacher, so it's no wonder that many schools are still trying to employ them illegally, or just giving up on it. And gone are the days when teachers could do border runs to stay here long term on the down low, so the schools that can't fund work permits have no options left.

     

    Thailand's diminishing English proficiency is the direct result of a cycle of overzealous bureaucracy - with a dash of xenophobia - that has been implemented by the very same government authorities that now want to improve English skills in the kingdom. Without serious wage increases and changes to the immigration and labour laws, I say chok dee!

    Thailand does nothing serious when it comes to Education, Add it to the list of all the other major issues it is incapable of dealing with in its society.

    and every week we have one of this news economic stimulus packages proposals by Prayut's gang and yet the economy still sluggish and baht still appreciating, whatever they are trying (if they are trying?) it's not working and they are running out of options other than once and for all DEPRECIATE the damn baht and things will start to get back to normal and while they are at it,  better change the military junta to give Thais some hope for a better future

    all very well but "Change government" ? In our dreams 

  3. Only thing Thai Politicians who threw in their lot with the General can "boost" is their own positions. The hopelessness of a country that when another party comes along and challenges its "hypocrisy and  failings" with new ideas and a new future .. is guess what .. Ban them . Needs a revolution, except Thais dont do them

    Its been a second rate dump for years. Whole towns and cities such as Telford,  Luton, Bradford are swamped by m****ms. The country is full of jobsworths, touts, bullies rules, regulations,  laws   and PC gone mad. Multiculturalism and Diversity are killing of Britain's distinctive culture. The cops inept and corrupt.  The politicians dreadful. The schools and universities social engineering factories. The NHS is failing as is social care. Gang warfare, criminality, and extreme violence are rising. The continued war on drugs has led to a massive growth in Narco mafias and has led to mistrust of the legal system. The streets are not safe for kids around 4pm and at night older people dont go out anymore.  Many cities have large areas that are no go zones and in such places,  like Telford over 1400 children were groomed,  raped and sold by local gangs for two decades a crime ignored by the police a very common phenomenon in many other cities. The awful nature of modern UK has not been prevented by EU membership. On the contrary EU membership has led to this sorry state of affairs. A second rate, third world Britain.

    perfect summation
