  1. Not sure that teenage boys fighting is a Thai disease. Pretty universal. Firstly, every school has a teacher who has a stick and is known to hit the hardest. Make it a mission to be their friend, and that students know that he / she is your friend. I'm not suggesting that you get that teacher to hit the kids for you, but the possibility is a deterrent and will make your life easier. Secondly, leave the classroom to find someone, and don't go back until you find someone. Your job is to teach. There is nothing to be gained by wading in.
  2. Any travel on a bike, driving or passenger, normally needs extra insurance. Credit card insurance unlikely to have that, which is why she isn't insured, helmet or not, licence or not. Regards career break, she could be in a profession like a nurse or teacher, or basic work, where she could pick up a job fairly easily when she goes back. More to life than working for 40 years.
  3. I said before that a Bkk Bank branch had said it is possible to register if you have a pink card. After 2 hours in 2 different banks today I worked out that theoretically it is, as the the number on your pink card would be recognized by NDID. However, banks cannot apply the 16 digit pink card number to your account, as the only way to create an account with that is using the chip, not by manually inputting the 16 digit number. The pink card has no chip for some reason, so the foreigners account can only use the passport, and is therefore not part of NDID. This explanation doesn't really help, but that's the situation.
  4. my boy still gets discount in a lot of places despite being too tall as he is very cute for Thais. There are positives and negatives in every situation
  5. 3 years ago I took my son to the UK without my wife. As he was 3, he only had a British passport and not a Thai one. They called my wife at immigration departures to check I wasn't stealing him, and he was allowed to leave on his UK Passport. He was born here, so not sure the information above is correct. When we returned, he had no Thai visa and the UK Passport. The immigration officer said "does he need a visa or not?". I answered no, they said ok, and through he went.
  6. Might be a bit late on this but you have to take it there and take a photo of you with the letter at the British Embassy building. They will not accept the letter, they will not provide you a receipt, you cannot take photos of embassy staff. Just take a selfie with the letter next to the sign and send it to your case officer.
  7. Lots of student accommodation nearby from around 3 - 17000THB, near BU entrance, and also on the road just South of Thammasat. Lots of students live in Bkk and travel out, though not sure I would fancy that everyday. If you want help, message us.
  8. Every immigration office is different on this. Some are strict, some wave it through with the minimum checks. Best to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
  9. This might help https://www.interstudentthailand.com/post/study-abroad-report-how-much-will-you-spend-when-you-study-abroad-in-thailand
  10. International Faculties at the top universities cost 150000 to 200000THB per year. The semester fee can be a poor guide as some faculties have 2 semesters and some have 3. MUIC is cheaper than MUICT (Computing) per semester, but has 3 semesters, so works out more expensive for the year. Housing can be from 5 to 20K a month, depends how nice the accommodation is. Hard to say what people spend on food and books.
  11. It is not free but medical school is less than you would think as lots of students are put off by the need to spend time in the countryside to complete the studies. Every school is different, and it is very competitive, so you should worry more about your daughter's grades and wider school resume than than the cost.
  12. Its possible to work at a University over 60 but starting is very unlikely. As I understand it, 60 is the retirement age, but you can be continued for a few years if your work is vital, but that would not cover starting. You might be able to get a temporary contract, but nothing official.
