I hope the central bank reciprocates when it makes merit I am sure the population would love a reduction on their loan rates.

Actual qualified western teachers are still only paid peanut compared to their home countries. Even the top paying jobs salaries are laughable..
International school salaries here are actually significantly better than UK state schools. Especially when, scholarships for dependents, health care, flight allowance (inc dependents) and bonuses which for some are yearly .... And add in the creative accounting by the school's accountants which reduces the tax bill and many international teachers take home £4000+ net a month. Not many UK teachers make £50000 per annum net in the state or private sector.

Speculations are just that, speculations.
my guess is you are just <deleted> off bc The Farang has to wait while The Asian Filipino teacher can come in.
Sorry, just bc somebody is a white farang it doesnt mean they are entitled to special treatment. It sucks and is highly unfair, i know...
I would suggest that for teachers coming from the UK, for most of them the academic year / contracts have .just ended at the end of July, so it has taken them a couple of weeks to get the paperwork, flights and visas organised with the relevent agencies once they finished at their previous schools.
Nothing to do with special treatment just common sense.

seems to be a few drunken sailors in here today.
Well that is one explaination for the PMs prediction. He was drunk when making it.
However, I am sure as an army man he would be slightly offended at being called a "sailor".

He forgot to mention that in 2012 the economy grew 6.5% and in 2013 it grew by 2.5%.
Seems poor old Yingluck was able to grow the economy more in two years than he has been able to in six.
I appreciate his prediction of less than 10%, however I would have appreciated it even more if he added the caveat that he would take full responsibility of it exceeds his prediction, and would show his responsibility by leaving office. Otherwise these are just meaningless words.

Let's just hope that whatever "equality" we are given it remains after the pandemic is over.

Sorry to hear that you have an animal that sounds like it is suffering.
We had two dogs die last week, three days apart after being with us for over 15 years, we had them at the vets before they passed, while we never asked outright I don't believe you will find any vet that can "offer euthanasia" - I believe it is illegal for them to do so?
In Bangkok vets will put a dog down for an serious illness or condition after attempts at treatment have been made and the dog is neither responding to treatment and suffering, with poor prognosis.
The vet may not request payment, but ask that payment for made to a local animal charity to make merit for the animal.

I would suggest those who follow the pathways of corruption and nepotism are the greatest nation haters, as those two behaviours cause the nation the greatest damage.
I will leave it to your imagination to decide which institutions are populated the most by those type of people.

Honestly good luck with that, but I feel it would be easier to <deleted> into a hurriycan and not get you feet wet. All countries have seen massive economic contractions and job losses so will most likely be focused on domestic rather than foreign investments.

Would be interesting to know, what are they paid?
7500 to start with, followed by some marginal increases dependent on skill set (engineer, radar ops, or cannon fodder etc) and rank. Also depends which service they get, army, navey or air force.

I guess that with the covid pandemic raging around the world and Thailand thankfully seemingly having it under control.
The family decided to add a couple of zeros to their offers or brown envelopes , to get old Boss safe back home and away from countries infected with covid.
I am sure that this transgression will come back to haunt him in a future life and no amount of making merit at the temples will change that.

So he didn't murder a policeman then? I actually feel sorry for the police, who will now know their lives are just expendable assets.

So let me get this straight. An MP on a House committee, the purpose of which is to examine and scrutinise Law, Justice and Human rights. Is being asked to resign or face dismissal for asking the police to clarify details surrounding the arrest of a Thai citizen. What is the purpose of the House committee again?

Nothing major here. Just coalition politics. Every political mouth must be give time at the trough if the PM wishes them to be malleable MPs and vote his way so he can extend his time in power. I am sure everyone has received substantial compensation for their duty to country while in the PMs cabinet.

don't ruin a child life just to get to stay in thailand, she's 20 is an adult, go back to swiss, i think the swiss are good to their citizen i'm pretty sure they will take care of her, she need to support herself if you cannot manage too, rent, get a job, maybe she will like swiss better then thai
This is her home or what she identifies as her home having spent all of her informative years here. Would you like to live somewhere or someplace that was not your home?
A home is not defined by the name or nationality on a passport, but by the human relationships, experiences and connections that an individual makes.
For the OP my advice would be for her to try to get a job in Thailand and the visa and WP that goes with it. I bet she speaks pretty good Thai and has made some solid friend connections from University and school. Get asking and networking, not the ideal time with covid, but might be worth a look.
Good luck keeping your family close to home.

Sorry, but an ethical politicians is just an oxymoron. Politicians are by nature unethical, look at any politician in Thailand or the world and it is fairly self evident that politicians are primed to be self interested and unethical.
Prayut came to power via a military coup. What more needs to be said to confirm the aforementioned supposition.

I trust that they will throw the book at this idiot farang, take away his licence and deport him.
I would prefer him to be treated according to the law. Rather than a person's moral compass.

Govt warns against sharing false news on Thailand losing gold mine case
in Thailand News
Posted
So if it is "not true" that the government lost the legal case then the only possible outcome of the legal case is that they, the government won, right?
