October 19th or October 26th is the first school day for term two, depending on the school's Director. Most finished final exams last week(yesterday) and of course have the right to re-test this coming week after grades announced. As a farang teacher, you are better off giving high marks than returning for "re-tests". The Thai teachers will be required and expected to be at school anyhow so don't mind the "re-tests" etc..

So what you are essentially saying is that you should forge the numbers so you don't have to do re-tests. Lazy comes to mind when i read that. I believe it's people like you that contribute to the arrogance of students who pass a subject when In fact they should have failed giving them the false sense of accomplishment. If they don't deserve to pass based on the different parameters in the marking: ie: behaviour, workbook, test scores than they deserve nothing less than having to re-test. But your enjoy your lazy way if teaching. I'm sure it allows you more time to sleep at your desk.

You obviously don't have much experience teaching in Thailand, it has nothing to do with a teacher being lazy or not to retest. The point is that the student will pass, whether you have to retest 20 times. I have been teaching in Thailand for over 10 years now, I remember my first school I taught at and my first experience with the Thai education system; I gave the final exam to my M4 students and submitted their score, the head of my department said that I could not fail a student, I advised that I did not fail the student, the student failed by himself. The test result was 5/60, I retested the student, the result 3/60, same test, so I submitted this. I was told to retest until the student passes, I said the student is not going to pass, I was told to make the student pass, so was told indirectly to "forge" the numbers. And that is just the way it is, have you ever heard of a Thai student, not matter how stupid repeating an academic year? No. Have you ever heard of any legal action being taken against a teacher for changing / forging the numbers no, why? because it is expected

Nothing odd, I called you

Can you people try using a little of your brain because I'm getting frustrated now.

Disagree, Thai is about image, they will spend entire salary on a car to show image and live in a shack.

Sorry if you were mislead by my post because I was certainly not looking for TV customers

So pointless posting here on TV about it then.

You don't even know the entire business plan but you allow your negativity to get ahead of you, I've not even given you a quarter of what the business will entail. So go back to your little life, you obviously don't have any friends.

You forgot the rent mate, who said I wanted to get rich, I'm already rich, just entertaining myself, but thanks for the concern, maybe you should find something apart from TV to entertain yourself

It is not exactly refurbishing, more like an battery exchange. You have a bust battery, I will exchange for another a second hand one, depending on the condition, if it looks like I can fix the battery and you want a working battery. I'll give 100baht for the dead battery and charge 300 for the second hand one that I have rejuvenated. Sorry, don't want to go into to much detail, many idiots on this forum.

So revenue is 200 baht per battery, minus investment and labor?

Mate you gonna be rich in no time.

Hi Bung thanks for the detailed post. I have experience in the industry and it is possible to check the individual cells of the battery to see that there are no dead cells, because then I won't buy it. My wife's sister will be running the business I will train her to do the desulphation. She will also be doing general motorcycle repairs. She is not the feminine type of female, so will be quite capable.

Hi I'm coordinating a government community upliftment project and need foreign teacher with PowerPoint knowledge to assist me. Must be English Native speaker.

Please PM as soon as possible.

Sorry... Half his monthly income on a new battery. My batteries are chemically and physical redone. But your point is taken and appreciated.

My target market is the lower working class Thai, ie the guy who can't afford to spend half his

Please can someone help with this.

A new battery is 2000 baht by the way.

The price for a used battery is around 800 baht, with 7 day warranty, so I'm less than used battery price and I give a 6 month warranty. Talking 12volt car batteries.

Hi guys, is anybody available to assist me with a government project, they are having a major conference at a hotel hear in Ubon Ratchathani, pay 800 baht per hour. The conference is next week Wednesday 4th February. If you know PowerPoint and you are a farang, please contact me via PM

Trolling? Is there something wrong with your head, I was speaking about my success and was kindly offering advice to people like you, never mind you are obviously American so that explains your lack of brain cells and ability to just be humble and ask for advice when offered. Have a great day now

Hi everyone, thanks for the posts. Three days now into the battery industry, new to me but has started beyond expectations. Oh and by the way my wife's whisky business is booming, so not a bad investment at all. If you guys need any direction or business advice advice, please don't be shy to contact me.

You are a complete idiot obviously with nothing but boredom on your hands, please don't respond or comment any further to my post unless you have something useful, which I doubt.

Hi thanks for the reply, if you read my post, you would notice I did not ask if it's a workable idea, I asked for some ideas and opinions as I know it is workable, just hoping for some input from some business savvy people that probably make it more workable. Errrr understand now?

Hi everyone, I have just invested in a large industrial charger and battery testing machinery. My idea is to start a battery refurbishing shop that will service and restore old liquid acid batteries, around 90% of batteries can be restored using my method, that I will resell with a six months warranty. Do you think this will be a workable idea? And also does anybody know the details for the larger new battery suppliers here in Ubon, who might be interested in placing consignment batteries batteries in my shop for new battery sales.

Your comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
