First rule of TESOL. "Never use the students' native tongue in class. Only use the language they are learing, English."

They don't need a degree in the subject they are teaching in private schools. It's up to the director/owner. They do need teaching licence from TCT. And Education degree will suffice. I worked in a private school in the suburbs of Bangkok. None of the Thai teachers teaching English had a degree in English. One Maths and 5 Education.

Oh dear. Go and have a beer and settle yourself down. You'll give yourself a hernia. ????????????

There you go. Unfounded generalisations, unless you have a news story for every Thai school, which I very much doubt. I also doubt you vetted every foreign teacher that ever taught in schools in Thailand.

Any post suggesting all of a certain group are bad, good or better than others are unfounded generalizations. Quite simple. In my experience of Thai education, 21 years as a teacher and 18 years as a parent, I have met and worked with some exceptional Thai teachers. Likewise I have worked with some shocking foreign teachers, including BEd qualified ones.

Extreme, unfounded generalisations

I'd be interested to know where you are talking about, both schools. Obviously there are laws about naming and shaming but you could give us a clue. BTW, teachers at private schools are generally less qualified. Any university degree will work, regardless of subject taught. Thus, you could have a teacher with an Art degree teaching English simply because they " speak a bit of English". I've used quotation marks because that is what I have been told by a head teacher.

Great to see the high standards are being maintained since the original owner/ creator of the business sold and moved on. A great outlet and part of the expat community since 2008.

Nothing needs to be notarised. The father's birth certificate will be a certified copy. All Thai documents will need to be translated and certified by the translator. No need for them to be notarised.

The Embassy don't require anything. They are not involved in Passport issues. Thr birth certificate is issued at a District Office(Amphur). The hospital one is not needed. Everyone, including Thais, need the Amphur on to get by in officialdom. So everyone will already have one. If they have ever been to school at least. HMPO also require a translation into English.

Vague but never mind. @OP..... I was listening to More radio this morning. They cover East and West Sussex. There were a couple of recruitment ads. One was as a care/support worker. These jobs require no experience. Training give once in the job. Starting rates were £13 an hour. Can't remember the name of the company. Sorry. Google is your friend

How old are you?

No it isn't possible. You must apply to GRO, as stated by a previous post.

Why would I lie? Your accusations are not required as they are incorrect. Please do attempt to point out the reasons for your unfounded outburst.

Our daughter was born outside of wedlock in 2002. Her birth was not registered at British embassy. When applying for her Btitish passport we needed to supply a copy if my birth certificate and, if i remember correctly, a copy of my passport. Nothing else from me was needed.

Lots of people do, judging by the number of flights. I go to Buriram as it's my home town. Others go there for the Khmer ruins, Football, motor racing and Moto GP.

Best bet would be to put NFL against rugby players. Do you know them? They are the guys that bash into each other for a full 80 minutes, with only one break and not multiple time outs, and don't wear helmets or pads.

Sorry. I wasn't aware it was a competition. If it was, it's only you and one other that questions my figures. That against a lot more that don't. I guess that would make me the winner. ????????????

The rates are quite a lot better than most of the jobs available to those with no experience. Add to that the added benefits it is more of a career option than just a job. You still seem to be ignoring a large part of the healthcare industry. You keep going on about nurses and those with qualifications but ignoring those without. The short fall of carers in care homes alone out strips your guesstimates.

I have no idea about Healthcare recruitment in Thailand. Therefore, I will not question you on the matter or suggest you are exaggerating or making up figures. I suggest you do the same with what I say about Healthcare recruitment in UK in the present day.

So, are you saying you now understand the difference between training on the job and training before applying? I hope so as I only referred to one type. The lowest paid where I work are on over £11 an hour. More at weekends. Paid holiday and company pension. The higher earners, not at management level, have the same benefits but are on nearer £13 an hour. Good money.

Quite right. One, you, used to fo it. One, I, do it now. You have missed support workers, domicilary care staff, care home staff and hospital HCA off your list. Easily makes 50000 jobs that anyone without experience and do.

My most recent job start was 6 weeks ago do, yes, can be done. Is done on a regular basis. More than half of the Healthcare assistants I deal eith are on their first job in the field.

Not old. Getting on but not old.

Are you suggesting I'm a driver? If so, once again, you are wrong. I started as a healthcare assistant, then support worker for 2 quadriplegics and am now a welfare liason officer. All with no previous experience. I've had induction days, on job training and online training. Started with shadow shifts then as part of a double now as a single carer. Taken the tests, both online and via assessment at work and passed. Like I said, if I can do it, so can anyone. Just need to get off your ar$e, stop thinking you are entitled to financial help and benefits, get working and earning. Simple.
