  1. Wages being cut.....many teachers do not get any pay for days not teaching...including 90 day reports or Visa business. She should consider herself lucky she was not fired outright !

    Not sure what teachers you refer...my experiences are much different. This matter has been brought to me and I'm asking about it. I've personally never seen a teacher have his/her salary cut for being absent, even in case when they never return. You may be referring to a situation where the teacher is on an hourly wage and/or working for an agency. The context of my inquiry is direct hire by the school and monthly salary. Thank you for your effort and reply but out of context.

    Direct hire: B5/m for being late or for leaving early, and no pay for visa run/sick leave = due to abuse by NES.

  2. Hmm! A guy pulled a hammer at me today for something similar. There was about five meters or less between my car and the one in front. He cut in (a Jazz) and slammed on his brakes. I almost rear-ended his car, so I changed lanes, rolled down and waved my hand at him. That was it. He flipped and cut in front of me again, sideways this time, brandishing a hammer. I believe he must have been watching too many movies.

    I'm getting a dash cam asap.

  3. Suggest you head to the nearest border, pay the overstay, and exit.

    I don't think that is possible, with a fake stamp in his passport, without getting arrested.

    Fake stamp or not his legitimate permit to stay has expired and he's on overstay. Whether he surrenders at an immigration or at the border he stands the chance of arrest. I'd rather take my chances at the border.

    Okay.

  4. My g/f just told me her sister went to fill up the gas tank it was almost empty. She said 400 bahts please and paid after the fill up. On her way home she noticed the gas gauge had hardly moved. Rather than turn around and complain she continued home fuming. My g/f tells me this has also happened to a friend twice on a fairly new car and the gas station attendant claims her gas gauge must be malfunctioning. She threatened the gas station owner that she would contact the police and he seemed unfazed. Anyone have a similar experience? Is this one method of theft one should watch out for? I know when I drove a car and filled up with gas I always watched the needle climb before leaving even when I did self serve.

    Yes, once.

  5. I didn't really know that the engine block on mine was cracked when I bought it. I was always losing coolant, so I went to Peugeot and the mechanics told me it was one of the freeze plugs. I paid to have it changed and went out for a stroll , but when I got back I noticed water was still dripping, but they lied that it was from the A/C. All the other local Peugeot mechanics I went to kept lying to me until the beginning of the year when I needed to fill up the rad after every five kilometres. One day, it wouldn't start, A taxi driver came to help and when the car started, he told me the gasket was gone.

    Had it fixed, but the overheating persisted, until my present mechanic showed me the leak, and sealed it. I still have to add the same amount of water I used to add when I just bought it.

    I've actually spent more than what one Peugeot mechanic asked for to swap the engine when I just bought the car replacing cooling fans, relays, wires, alternator and hoses. He told me then that the 405 engines usually end up cracking, but he didn't tell me mine was cracked. That was why I didn't take his advise.
