gotten

 

The past participle of the irregular verb “get” can be either “gotten” or “got,” depending on whether you're using UK or US English. In US English, “gotten” is standard, but “got” is considered acceptable. In UK English, “got” is correct.

I absolute loathe this word. I use got rarely but gotten is pretty pleb. The word is have - use it.

Queen Kamila has a seat now. Time to vacate VP slot.

They will be equally coherent VP Harris and 90 yo dowager

I didn't read the article, but I do follow the qs rankings somewhat.

The only University that's making any real move forward in ranking are King Mongkut universities. In particular, Thonburi .

Most of the top universities are treading water and even slipping a slot or two last time I really looked closely at the issue

Most Thai universities are on the list bc of all the PhDs nothing more. We all know what education is worth here be it a HS diploma or a PhD

You don't understand inflation ,in 20 years that won't be enough 

Go back 20 years ago the expenses were different 

You don't understand money or life.

There has been technically little to no inflation up until 2018.

1. It's plenty of money

2. You'll stay home saving and worrying until you can't leave OR so old and worried you don't want to risk your precious healthcare ... BS usually anyway and will be g7 bankrupt in a decade regardless

So... keep on saving!

I called it quits thirty years ago. I've made it until 63 and have a bit more than half of what the sum posted by op. I'm married as well.

Once the tiny social security sum kicks in two years that will be 40k THB more.

But hey, keep worrying and by all means keep paying taxes! ????

????????????????????☁️????

Thai teachers should be retired after 20 years or 50 yo. Absolutely no part time work after 45 unless it's substituting less than 16 hrs week for no more than 12 weeks in any year.

Many Thai teachers are dire but the oldies are just a waste of students time.

Foreign teachers without license 50 and with license at 65. Foreign teachers should not be allowed to start work in K12 after 50.

Just a thumbs up for immigration at CW.

All the rank and file pretty hardworking people. I'd go so far as to say hardest workers of any government workers I'm aware of

I hold a Master's degree in Education. Can I apply for a teaching license right of the bat without meeting any other requirements?

I believe so, but you'll still need to meet other criteria such as being employed by a school. You cannot apply independently.

Hard to say.

TBH I didn't read your drama in detail

Get on the TCT site and see how many waivers have been recorded.

It's possible even with three you can get another. I'd think same school is better rather than worse imo.

This shouldn't be a long term plan because even if you get #4 you won't get a fifth.

As for your age. If you are over 60 it's my belief that the only way public schools will hire you is if they are doing private insurance not SSO. It's also possible they simply won't hire 60+. I assume you're hirable as you've asked.

You don't need convince anyone of anything outside of what is presented in your application. There is no interview or attendant groveling

complex network of individuals involved in the international sex trade.

lol.

International you say? So, people taken across borders against their will for purposes of sex? All those pictures do not seem to bear that out.

This is a Thai forum last time I checked.

Yes, it is. There was a comment made berating the Thai system of governance. I merely contrasted that against one of the other 200 countries to make the point that it's no different anywhere else so why expect different.

Apologies if that was lost on you. I'll try and kick it down a notch next time. Try and keep up.

Magic promises in advertising

After single promo purchaed...Pre laser consultation hard sell. If you don't buy a package they tell you after the fact pre-treatment on the day the laser will do nothing.

During appointment they dial back the laser and run it over your face. You'll leave with a warm feeling and no results. They don't burn up the laser for promo price and no package.

Wife has light spot of melasma. Two cheap promos just a scam.

Same with hair removal. All sorts of promises but in the end waxing is better, cheaper and faster

It is sickening to read anything about Thai politics. 

 

So predictable, so corrupt, and so morally bankrupt.

 

I wish this forum would cease posting any Thai political news feed.

Not arguing but I don't see how the west is any better. US entirely lost all moral authority decades ago but now days it's brutally clear

Never big red shirt fan but at least they're not yellow shirts. Reds back in power and disliking this lot more and more each day.

Anyone voted for MFP it's just tragic

Hung is the correct past tense. Hanged is past tense if you were sentenced to death by hanging

+2 I thought hanged in use of people. Sent me to dictionary on that one ????????

They wanted to get this into print before releasing the news of taxing expat income from abroad ????

I think we can expect more of this irrational taxation and fees both here in Thailand and our home countries.

Thailand is a very odd place. It certainly extends us no favors in trying to live here. Nevertheless, think of what would happen to the banking system if farang we're not banked.

So she was gone 2 months prior and randomly shows up to "check" the house and finds him hung. Thats sounds kinda odd itself.

Indeed, but he could have messaged her. Even something enigmatic signalling she should return... and perhaps for only financial reasons but doesn't mean she has a hand in the death at all.

Hanged not hung

People do this when someone passes even without the insurance. First thing on their minds is rushing in to collect valuables at the home and checking bank accounts.

 

It’s pretty sad. Nobody trusts others to distribute things fairly.

Because no one does the right thing. Why should they?
