This is not correct nor has been for ten years. Photocopied bank book WITH a bank letter.

I do the same as you but I don't understand the issue with spending money down. For a number of reasons perhaps he doesn't want to have that sort of money in the country or as little as possible. It does not at all mean that the individual doesn't have the money.

I suspect that none of them do. That would take a small army a bureaucrats not that they don't have them. Thais are fairly incapable of this sort of follow-up. I think it was just some idea that a bureaucrat came up with and it spread like wildfire on the forum. My guess is the reality and most provinces and immigration offices is that it's a done deal after you have your passport stamped and handed back to you. If anyone's checking it's because the office is really small and or the immigration offices are just looking to cause trouble. Again, this is not law, rule or procedure that I'm aware of.

I bet you can spend it all down as long as you are good to go 3 months before you make your extension all topped up. I think wives tales and fish stories get started here and people just run with it.

How'd it work out?

Moccona green box (only). Used to be epic value. Vanished in Big C and Shopee it's 50% up. Viet, Lao coffee has the strength right as it's roasted dark but it's flat, one dimensional I just ordered JIN Arabia Italian roast 500gm. Cheap. We'll see. No love for BonCafe Starbucks French Roast is the only one I like but it's horrible value. I hate the company as well. If you don't drink black coffee why worry about any of it? Nescafe Red Cup for you.

Check the speed (I didn't) That's only an average price and I bet it's for 4MBS I have 10 MBS one year 100gb pm about 1500 per year plus 60 minutes a month on any network. Wife just recently bought a similar package for parents and they got 15 MBS, 100gb on 5G network. Even if the package you're looking at is 10 it's an average deal why the surprise?

There is lots of random information on this thread. First, BC has no offering. I believe any post grad diploma or degree you do - you'll still be required to sit the test. The only people that can tell you if the course is accepted is TCT. Ajarn.com won't have / doesn't this information. It's just hack teacher's unpaid opinions. I would contact St Bobbits in BKK. They may /not clearly state if the school is (currently) on acceptance list but many had been successful in years past. The edumacayshun there isn't exactly Columbia Teacher's College and will prepare you little if at all for the exam. Moreover, most instructors work at teriary universities outside BKK and will have no clue personally about the exam and they will be older teachers exempt anyway. No matter which school you go with, presuming it's accepted you'll still need to sit for the exam. It's doubtful St Bobbits will prepare you for that eventuality. If the exam is anything like the one offered an orc's age ago it will be poorly translated from Thai, not especially well written in the first place, based a great deal on pedagogy and have theory questions, extremely random. Extremely high percentage of people fail (but 99.9% of farang teachers have no deep interest in teaching). Simply getting a seat for the exam seems a mystery. In all likelihood unless you do a masters degree you will fail the exam based upon what would be taught by teachers here inside Thailand. You'll need to further study pedagogy, additional teacher 'stuff'. There are no sample or old exams, test prep materials in English. You will probably receive a third waiver. I'd say it's highly likely especially coming from same school as last. If enrolled in a course there is also a good chance you'll receive a fourth. A fifth waiver which you'll need at least 1.5-2 years from now I wouldn't speculate. Judging from what I understand at present from a few teachers simply scheduling the exam seems impossible although I don't think any have gone to TCT nor even doggedly emailed it phoned. Remember,what you are told may not hold true forever and maybe not even a day. Even renewing a license is a hassle. Unless things become crystal clear my advice: Assuming you love being in Thailand, love teaching and are under 50... Do the St Roberts, self study up on the pedagogy, classroom management, training. It's dull stuff so start early... Now is a good time. You'll be a better teacher for it as well. All bets off: TCT accepts StR, you sit for exam, you pass first shot, you pass at all. Have an exit strategy after wasting all this time bc you can't pass or can't seem to even sit for exam. I presume after you sit for exam and pass you'll still need to apply for the license - it is in no way just given to you. FYI. TCT is not unlike any other Thai bureaucracy I can't think of any government entity you can call and get a straight answer from. Go visit them, questions literally in hand. PS the entire process has never been clear for farang so in my estimation never will be. I would venture that it's equally chaos for Thais but I think Thais do some course, sit the exam in Thai (obviously easy pass for them) and the school navigates the license as they navigate waivers for us. *I think many Thais teach on waivers too.

He also stated that the Ministry would be discussing more vaccine procurement for children with Pfizer Incorporated this afternoon More from Guardian JCVI says young children are at very low risk of developing severe disease from Covid, while most will have gained natural immunity https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/06/anger-at-plans-to-roll-back-covid-vaccines-to-under-11s-in-england

Anyone remember that weird shoot out thing? Might have been in Satorn...?

It is. It's a country run on corruption and venality. Cross the wrong petty people and you can be killed. Remember all those backpacker murders? Which ones you're asking right?? A Ko Samui B KSR / Natl library C Chaing Mai Oh, so many.. unsolved But it's true for Thais as well not that it makes your situation better. Just stay out of the Philippines!!!! Thanks for the laff. +1 for the first post lol

Doubt. He's police not military.

As I recall, he was no friend to farang.

Anyone been in the zebra xing, slow moving traffic and aggressive drivers challenging you, daring you to cross as they move determinedlu toward you and into the xing? Moving slow enough you hold your ground and make your way across.. Freaking madness. That's got nothing to do with not seeing a xing! That's pure ignorant, self entitled aggression.

Only rising metal spikes will do. But the motos will still hop the footpath and ride on. *Vehicle confiscation *Jail

My wife's coverage is full in hospital but not nearlt6as good outpatient. Twice in ten years she's just checked in overnight and rec'd additional tests and the stay. She was feeling really awful and had vertigo.

More virtue signaling Why does everything need to be reduced to one's sexuality these days? Old Thais are really skint - even wealthy ones.

With covid? Oh, errrr... right. Ok. I've edited the post so simple people can better grasp. Thread is about covid not chicken or monkeypox

I feel so sorry for him. I'd rot in jail. Extortion. Mercenary bi**h I bet there are mugs who didn't pay 200k for murder

Objectively, it's not beautiful. Most, the vast majority even... tattoos are anything but beautiful.

Seems like a perfect reason to me...

Wife had two small Buddhist tattoos when I met her. I hate them.. The thing with tattoos is most are not especially creative, artists and even worse the heavy ink. Then the farang go out in the sun, get old and the tattoo is blurry and looks even more shi+e

Actually, I fully get this... Well, sort of. Pollution in Bangkok is high. Dust outside BKK is crazy. Motorcyclist have been wearing masks since forever. Having said that I'd bet a donut that the mask was indeed to ward off covid.

Cool. Go big or go home lol.
