@Iamfalang I know its so shocking I used those 10 sick days to go to a family members funeral. Also to be promoted to head of department the last couple of months I must be doing a terrible job. I appreciate the comments but I just needed advice on this subject as I felt a little lost . Please do not judge my work ethic when you do not know me or the reasons that surround those taken days. 

Thank you for the advice everyone.

@Callmeishmael Thank you for this helpful advice I very much appreciate it . I pay social security and I also work at a private school . That means I am not entitled to it even though I pay social security monthly? Thank you 

Thank you for the replies, Let me clear the misunderstandings up. I do not want to use all of my 30 days sick leave I just want what I am legally entitled too and to be paid if anything bad does happen in the future, they know that I am not going to take 30 days off  or use them all. In my school I was told that I am entitled to one week off if I work the full year (which I always do work the contracts), the sick days I have taken are ten days because I had an emergency back in my home country . I do not have any paid time off unless I either use my sick pay or personal leave, we do not get any school holidays we work straight through and we have just the songkran days paid and the national holiday days. 

Hello,

I have been working at a school for 9 months now. On my contract they have stated I am allowed 15 days paid sick days ( I have taken 10) only I recently asked what If I catch covid will they pay for my salary while I am sick as It says online that in Thailand you are allowed 30 days paid sick days by law. They said no,  that law is not for foreigners only Thai's, however they do not pay the thai teachers either while they are sick with covid. They said that if I want to get paid id have to talk to social security to get paid. However I read that that is only when you have used up you 30 days sick pay.

The school has also said that we do not need Social Security cards anymore as everything can be done by showing your passport.

I hope you can help me !

Thank you to all ! Very much appreciated !

Yes I know that but I would just like to know if anyone has any experience with the University of Cumbria's PGCE course , I cant find anything about the accepted courses

Hello,

I am about to take a PGCE course with The University Of Cumbria so I can extend to a 5 year teaching visa. Does anyone know if Kurusapa accepts this course? As I cannot find a list anywhere. 

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I don't drive in the UK so I don't have a British driving license. I want to get a Thai drivers license so I can either drive a car or motorbike here legally.

Is that possible?

Thank you

Thank you or the information @Tanoshi @ubonjoe  I have called the British embassy and they said that they cant certify a copy of my degree but they can certify a copy of my passport. I do have a Thai solicitor that I have used in Bangkok to certify a copy of my passport to be used by the solicitor in the UK who legalized my degree. Will I just be able to use him to certify a copy of both degree and passport? Then I will contact the MFA about translation of these document. I do have the original certified copy with the stamp from a Notary public (from the UK) confirming that these are true copies of my degree also with the Royal Thai embassy stamped onto the copy of that document , Is this what I should be getting copied ? Or should it be the original degree without apostille and Thai embassy stamp.

Thank you so much for your help I am trying to find the best way to approach because of the current Covid restrictions .

@Tanoshi  No I have not had it translated or legalized by the MFA  in Bangkok, I didn't realize that was a requirement as of now. Do I have to send it back to the UK to be translated or would I be able to sort everything here? If you have any advice on how to complete this it would be greatly appreciated . 

Thank you so much for telling me about this as I am coming to the end of my contract and I have already notified my School that I will not be signing a new one with them.

@Tanoshi Yes it has been  recently legalized and authenticated In the UK also sent to the Thai Immigration in London , I currently live in Nakhon Sawan where my school applies for everything for me and I do my reports at the immigration here .  When i previously applied for the school in Bangkok my degree was not notarized ,I am hoping that could perhaps make a difference and I have no idea if a Thai solicitor or apostille can help me with a British document .

Thank you so much for your reply

Good Morning everyone !

I have previously came up with an issue last year when applying to a new school about the inconsistency of the name on my passport and degree. My degree is missing my middle name and my passport HAS my middle name. The school visa department said Chaeng Wattana would refuse it because my degree is missing my middle name so I have stayed with my previous employer , I am currently already teaching as i applied for my Non-B in the UK 2 years ago and it was accepted by the Thai embassy in London however it seems to be a problem here. I would like some information on getting a Affidavit or Statuary declaration form to confirm that I am that person on my Notarized degree. My university is unable to give out name changes or confirm identity and also the British Embassy does not have this service anymore. Would I be able to use a Thai lawyer for this? As the embassy is unable to help me. 

I hope someone can give me some advice for this,

Thank you so much
