I like to dress like a pirate 5555

RIP little girl.

Just been on their Facebook page, they don't look poor to me. Looks like a big shop.

Biker Bob,

You should look into how a Thai company works, I can make a rice farmer president and owner of a company and move millions and run away before bad things happen.... That is how some of this people operate... they not only ruin the life of the buyer, they also ruin the life of somebody who was thinking he was lucky....

Richard, I totally agree with you. I bought a bike who came in boxes from Japan, but that was 8 years ago and a lot has changed since then. I would not do it today. Not because of the company, but a falang riding on an illegal bike is an easy target.

If you want comfort, the Kawasaki Vulcan has to be the biz, adjustable everything and a super comfortable seat, 650cc torque tuned too.

I am done with cruisers, too slow for me.

When safe to do so, I like to go around 150km/h and my Versys is perfect for that and it's very comfortable too.

Same here, too slow and a nightmare in BKK traffic.

Well i did about 500 miles ( Samut Prakarn to Chiang Mai) on my ER6N with stock seat so it can be done.

Of course it can be done!

Th question is, how bruised were your butt bones when you climb out of the saddle at the end of the day?

Actually, considering I have a skinny arse not too bad. I thought it would have been a lot worse.

I got in Bangkok extension of stay for 1 year with multiple re-entry. Second time now.

Required were:

Birth certificate

Mothers ID

Tambien Ban

Passport copies

Letter from Bank proving funds

6 pictures with the Kids

Requirements may vary on immigration officers discretion......

Stefan did you get the first visa at BKK immigration? Or did you leave the country for that?

Well i did about 500 miles ( Samut Prakarn to Chiang Mai) on my ER6N with stock seat so it can be done.

Yes I agree.

Much depend of you fell on the bike generally, I lowered the foot pegs on my V and that helped me a lot felling more comfortable due to quite long legs.

Yes, that is the biggest problem, not the seat.

Well i did about 500 miles ( Samut Prakarn to Chiang Mai) on my ER6N with stock seat so it can be done.

A bit late but Happy New Year to all.

If you want a new one i would go to the official dealer. For second hand Harley's T Cycle and Chang Freeman are good shops that provides the green book.

Is it on this weekend??

Standard bog Internet posts for ME and typical large agency like Aeon in Japan.

I've already posted about all I wish to about myself in a forum for this. If you have something relevant to report, I'd appreciate it.

Why, are you hiring?

Would that not be, to whom?

I note you are destined for "great things" in the ME or Japan they will love a "whom"

Oh, so pleased you had noted that. The forum and especially myself will sleep better this evening.

No, I seriously doubt I'm destined for much of anything in the ME. I simply have/had a question. As for Japan, I've visited three times.

Just some ideas I had before I hit 60. Backroll our rtw trip instead of burning cash.

Unsure you're a troll, but a ****head seems pretty certain. Emoticons, how positively adult of you.

Chill Winston.

I know many excellent Thai english speakers sadly none of them are or would be teachers!

Actually some bargirls Speak much better English than Thai English teachers... so I am reliably told

It's true

Perfect for a country where the max legal speed is 90kph.

Where's that then?

Denmark

Bangsaen Bike Week this weekend, the 6th and 7th of November.

RIP

Being a NES, even with a degree that took four years or more, doesn't actually qualify you to teach English or any other subject. Not in Thailand or anywhere else. In the Thai context, the use of NESs is simply promotional in most instances. It looks good and impresses the parents. It's purely about getting bums on seats or rather sitting at desks and paying fees especially in the private sector. It might be reasonable to think that a bilingual programme which has been in existence for 15 years might have developed some expertise in teaching its Thai students English. Not where I work. It's a crude money making operation and that is it. The school system is a real mess, it really fails both the kids and the parents though the much-moaned-about irony is that everyone passes.

The system has massive issues BUT you cannot join the system and then whine about how its all fail. Its beyond ironic. If you perceive that the system is such a loss that in your tiny classroom, on some days and at some time impart some sort of learning - then please, go back to Pattaya or soi 4 or whatever rock you crawled out from.

You cannot join the system, take money from it, complain about it, give up on it, still take money from it andd finally - remain in it.

See this is the issue, so few here see the mission of education in society. Its a small part of why you are not, nor ever will be teachers. I mean, your skilled worker contract will be long over before that day arrives.

As for the 90% I'm extrapolating that obviously Einstein. Its based on the # of teachers I've had to endure sharing an office with.

JHC stop smoking that shit.

Why a service should be free??? You ever went to a massage parlor to receive free service?

I tried, but no luck 55555

I think it all depends. I think at one level, anyone with a toeic score of 900 and a reasonable accent/dialect may due for 20k. This is Philippinos and E/W Africans. Id only pay S Africans and Europeans 25 as nes get 30, or 20% less than your nes. I would not even hire those with N English and Scottish accents honestly. Most teachers here are not even worth the 30k.

Another reason for hiring only degeeed teachers is a work ethic. I've never been a fanboi of the nondegreed teaching in schools for so many reasons. This year I've had the displeasure of working with contractors. A new low. Drifters and grifters, lazy as F with no clue how to function in an office environment, what it means to work as a team. The complete lack of concern past: how little I can do, how early can I leave. These people not worth a F at home, nor here.

I can ubderstand why schools only want to pay 30, that's all your worth. After three years I've worked with about 40 teachers. Pay range from 33 to 45. Id say only ten percent were worth 42.5. There were others that put in the effort almost, but just don't cut it. Maybe another ten percent. Tbe rest I wouldn't let staff a 7-11 and yeah, I'm serious. Gies double for any and all outside US, CA and west EU countries (which sorry, you have the work ethic but your writing is riddled with mistakes, you have an accent - Dutch, Scandanavia excepted).

The Pinoy Visayan accent is atricious as is the N English.

I was recently asked to bring stacks of bundled old resumes down to the recycling area fir the HOD. I was shocked at all the shitty applicants.

The right nes are worth 45k. Trouble is, schools do not perceive the value.

90% of teachers in thus country don't even try. Its total self serving effort. A visa, Chang, money for western junk food and a dusky middle aged companion from Nakon Nowhere once a month. They are dead inside. You see it. No life, no plan...zombies. Teaching zombies.

After three years of thus, I will forever laugh at teachers thinking they deserve more than 30k. I've never experienced working with such a large nuber of people from marginal backgrounds.

The reason they are here in they are unemployable back home. Their lives so banal that scraping here on 30k is better than a life where they were born. Utter failure. The Koreans, Japanese know this well snd they only tske uni grads.

Only say ++good on Thailand for asking criminal checks on UK. Now, just get rid of E/W Africans and hire more Luzon Pinoy and they be a tiny bit better off. Most S Africans are slackers too, just to lesser and different extent. Plenty of zombies. The other 25% have world standard work ethic.

Sorry, your life experience degree, asst manager at cofeeworld and some shitty, overpriced tefl class does not mske you a teacher and especially an educator.

Pull it up slick...your panties are showing.

My 2thb

Who pissed on your cornflakes?? 90% of teachers in this country don't even try, f*** me, do you know 90% of all teachers in Thailand?

What is it with these idiots and wanting to marry bar girls within weeks of knowing them? Back when I first moved here I met an American that married one and within a few months he was completely cleaned out and went back to the States. The thing is this bloke was in his fifties and coming to me for advice! (in my early 20s at the time)

Do they leave their common sense at the airport?

Yes

You started it Allan so any route it goes down is your fault. That's why most left this forum.

Your defense of an open face helmet compared to a full face helmet is just laughable.

Left or got kicked out??

Around 40 KPH? Shorts and flip flops do me just fine

5555 Jhc don't get people started now

Thanks! that sounds great. I'm a subject language teacher (not English)

Could I do that in Thailand?

The topic's also very interesting for me, got a BA in social pedagogy, but need to find a way to enroll somewhere online for a BA in education.

Is there an accredited online university I could contact? I'd really appreciate to find out what others in such a situation did , or are still doing.

Even A Masters in English from Rajabhat Ubon wasn't good enough for Khurusapha Bangkok two years ago.

I'd already signed up for it and wanted to bite the bitter apple to study on weekends for three years, but a Masters in English, plus more than ten years of teaching experience in Thailand wasn't "appropriate" for the TCT?

Is the one university from the Philippines that offers online degrees with an office in Bangkok still accredited by TCT? I Googled some stuff, but so more I read, the less I want to continue with all the "accredited lifetime degrees..."

There must be plenty of people in the same situation. Any ideas would be deeply appreciated.

yes, Ifugao still works. Office behind the Bayoke Sky Tower, Pratunam.
