The new MoE ASEAN NES (Native English Speaker) program has already had the rules relaxed for school's employent of foreign teachers. The 10,000 baht monthly NES subsidy and 5,000 baht monthly NNES subsidy has certainly got the ball rolling. Great to see. The TCT was certainly making things very difficult with their FT requirements. It was a very uncordinated effort.

^^Lol!

That was the BKK rate, employed directly and NOT through an agent. English skills will cost a lot more, I guess.

People are assuming that schools have wireless internet access. Most don't. The better off ones do, but the kids have 3G capable smart phones . Which are dam_n site better than the tablets which are being ordered from China.

The going rate, for a Thai employer (a Foreign employer will be charged extra, for Foreign language skills, etc.), is 4k per month, everything included, that is, food and board.

I'm gonna tell the teacher, lol.

Dunno why so many here are in denial and don't realise that we are in the minority here in Thailand. When discrimination happens, for example: overcharging, fraud, assisted-suicides and the ever increasing "farang-lynchings", there's sfa that we can do about it.

There's a group of hard working teachers studying together to pass the 4 TCT (Teacher's Council Thailand) exams. They cooperate and share their information at the free member website forum, thailand teaching dot asia. They are so well informed and abreast of things that some people believed that they may even have had a TCT contact .

Can get you a second-hand one....

Guess you're quite hot by now, but is this what you were talking about?

The price was the same at three different retailers.

''For your truck I recommend the 3K TX790. ''

Ok, what brand?? and assume that the 790 indicates 79 ah??? and 3k = 3,000THB

3K is the brand

TX790 is the model.

It the 100 amp/h model

The regular model is the NS100 but its only 70 amps.

I've tried many brands before and the 3K is the only brand that lasted me over 2 years.

The brand is heavily gaining reputation and their prices are very good compared to others.

The GS and yuasa brands never made it that far. I went through these brands quick.

I have never had a battery last more than 3 years in BKK.

One brand I do not recommend is the Bellco. They suck and are overrated meaning their 70 amp models only are tested to be like 50.

Realizing this thread is over 3-years old, however, understanding that car batteries haven't changed a lot since then. I'll add that I just purchased a 3k ns100, marked as 75 amp, for 2400 baht. I hope that it runs well for the next 5-years, at least

Firstly, without casting any asspersions, we must ascertain who pays yours wage, one would assume that it's paids monthly.

^Assumptions, assumptions...that's where the salad and tomato sauce which goes on the hotdogs, is kept.

The authorities will likely determin that he's a good man, needs a second chance and that the victims should pay him compensation, as he's a poor Thai and they are rich foreigners.

I think the contract that the agency has with the school, must also be taken into account and not just the contract between the teacher and employer.

This is very strange. Especially when there's a teacher shortage, upcountry. It's akin to hearing those bizzare amounts paid for sin sod, by foreigners, which are never returned to the bride and groom after the wedding ceremony.

I think you'll find that most "agencies" are actually language schools. Language school employees are usually paid per job, i.e., daily or by the hour or period over the duration of the 'job', therefore they are not covered by the same labour law rights as a full-time employee would be. I think you'll find that whatever is written in your emloyee/employer contract will apply. If it says unpaid sickdays, then unpaid sick days it is.

I'm in need of an employer payroll witholding tax scale. Can a poster submit a link please?

Now, taking holidays in Phuket is akin to a woman walking, through a darkly lit street while wearing a mini-skirt, after midnight.

Thailand wants tourists but is treating them with total disrespect.

_{'tis a common gambling thing in Thailand. The chicks playing show their boobies to distract the male punters.}

It ended with blood curdling screams and fighting.

Lol, this is their way of enjoying themselves.

Here, in BKK, a workmate fell on hard times (after being laid off he didn't even have dosh for a taxi home), so I loaned him a few thousand baht. Now, 6-months later down he's back up on his feet, but do you think the Cheap Charlie will even acknowledge his debt? <deleted> he will.
