So what's new, OP?
Who doesn't know such a school?
One such school never bothered with any of the requirements. Not B-Visa, not the WP and certainly not with any form of reporting to the Regional Education office supervising them!
Cui bono? Let's see.
Work contract in English - and a copy of the Thai contract they made people sign on the sly? Nope.
And they love young men from Cameroon. One such guy, if he could take the TOEIC hurdle of a 600 score, that would be a huge surprise. As the guy couldn't handle small talk with the resident helper from the Peace Corps. Both says - they could not even exchange standard pleasantries LOL.
A: I guess the director will owe someone a favor. Can't see him being stripped of his pension or transferred, know what I mean? (Here on TV, there was a case of some "disappeared" Karen activist. And even if the official most likely to have a vendetta against the guy (and he had been seen last with the activist) will be found involved, he won't get 1 day in jail or a pay cut. And we are talking bloody murder here).
What hope does Thai education have if directors are not being held accountable?!?
Well, the law shows extreme bias. 10 k fine for the employer, 100 k fine and deportation to the hapless employee.
-
When I was advertising for a rural school, I got incredibly qualified teachers who wanted that 30 k B job. Decades in Hong Kong and Korea etc. Alas, they were over 60. But the overriding importance turned out to be the pay, not the age. They hired a guy who never saw the inside of a university for a single day!
Never underestimate directors' financial interests!

Replace breakfast and dinner with a casein drink.

Your goals, your values. Highlights and lows of your career and life so far?
where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Specific teaching questions about difficult situations like students being bored and playing with their mobile phones...
(Haven't had such an interview, would like to get one though)

Has anyone bought a Thai keyboard for such notebooks from Lenovo Thailand?
Or do you source them on the internet?
Cheers!

The prison term, however, was commuted to four year probation instead with 48 hours of charity working for one year.
Seriously? No comment Words fail me
She appealed - those 6 days' community work and the driving ban is too harsh, huh?
What about the adult who gave her the car to drive?!?? If I hand a loaded gun to some teenage girl and she shoots somebody, wouldn't I be in trouble, too?
One thing is clear, some farmer's daughter would have no lawyer and no means to appeal. she would be rotting in jail...
-
Well, stick to your plan and collect the April salary first. I trust Thai HR as far as I can throw an elephant.
Regarding the Visa, just ask for a re-entry T-Visa. That will give you 2 x 60 days and should be good enough.
(Worked for me but they wrote into the Visa stamp that next time I must show financial evidence or something).
Yes, 2 weeks will be fine. Yours truly could go for that 25 k Baht job if no one else will
Hope all goes well!

If six songtaews asked for the same 100 baht..i think nothing is wrong...5555
From ARCADE (near the 2 bus stations) to the moat surrounding the Old Town and back.

Excuse me?!? Hoe about impeaching those politicians and stripping them of their pensions and other entitlements for abuse of power?!?
This is the pits!
Folks have been driven to commit suicide, leaving wives and children behind. And now this?!?
Mafia methods, if you ask me. Is this Sicily, are they demanding that "Omerta" be observed?!?

I was just in town for a day. and each one of the 6 song taews I asked demanded 100 B. In the past, the same destination would be 40, 40 B and that was a year ago. Ended up with some Tuk Tuk @ 70 B. what is going on? Have they formed a cartel?
-
While it's in now way scientifically proven, I just want to share that IMHO, fat cells seem to react in some dramatic fashion to such an event. Overeating on chocolates. Not sure about kcal intake, but let's say I ate some 1.5 kg? Q: can it be that this led to a weight gain of >3 kg?
Just wondering.
Happy Songkran to y'all! Hope you won't lapse like I did

Well, I like the opportunities in the US of A. Both real estate and certain high yield (often double digit and not taxes at the corporate level) REITS. NLY for example.
If you manage to buy some mobile homes and fix them up in a month or two, and get a PM, you should be making about 20% in your sleep.
Over here - take real estate. It's a buyer's nightmare, JMHO. what's the return? I've seen 20 M Baht villas for rent @ 40,000 B. How crazy is that?!?
Be careful - and move your money out of EU-Land. Bad things are happening over there... JMHO. Read some articles by Bernard Connolly if you are into economics.
-
Well, I fell off the wagon and went on a 2-3 days chocolate binge. Added 3+ kg and haven't shed those yet.
Psychological needs need to be understood and addressed, too.
What makes us overeat or go for certain foods?
-
I see a lot of similarities here, Sirchai.
Wouldn't you feel utterly preposterous, posing as a winner if you hadn't even run the race?!?
Man, this sucks big time.
Discouraging young learners is the very last thing we should do. what's wrong with springing 1,000 Baht or buying some chocolates & balloons or something?!?
-
may?!?
Try telling this to your landlord after he filed for eviction. I'm sorry - people's financial future is at stake here. the only news acceptable is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Promises, vague possibilities... What if someone's hopes are up and then he kills himself like others have?
This is so cruel and so unprofessional. And the time is not specified - it could technically be March 2015, couldn't it?!?
Whoever is making such statements deserves the sack!
The Thai taxpayers deserve better administrators as well. What kind of nonsense is this guy spouting?!?
-
That one hour with them made all the difference. Because they couldn't read & speak with different voices. Have no clue as to recite poetry or acting...
As English teachers, many have no clue as to whether students can handle a script - or not. It's quite scary, really.
make sure those young ones still get the praise and some gifts they deserve!!

Found "Iso 93" 5 lbs for 2,850 Baht shipped at www.musclefoodshop.com while Ultimate Nutrition's own outlet charges 2,999 B (I think). Some other store was @ 3,799 or something. It sure pays to shop around.
This morning, I have a craving for cheese on crackers (both in the refrigerator). And not going to the gym for days lets me feel how the flab spreads on my buttocks, I'm serious.
Questions:
is there a low calorie alternative to skimmed milk for such protein drinks?
Am gonna try that protein and buy a month's membership at the condo gym - it sucks big time.
How are you all doing on your way to a slimmer body?

Bangkok Bank in New York! ABA 026008691 for further credit to Bangkok Bank ... branch, account name and a/c # here in Thailand

Hi
it was silly to pay some 3,000 Baht for just the shipping of these 2 consoles complete with controllers, memory cards etc.
Is there a place which would buy them? I tried advertizing them for 900 B but would ship them for 600, expecting to pay about 200 B for the parcel.
Last resort would be throwing them in the trash
Any suggestions?
-
This is meant to be a serious question, not some attempt at "trolling".
Some students broadcast their weekly affairs on FB. When I first came over, I met some very traditional girls again which I knew from my home country. They would never even kiss some foreigner AFAIK. One girl had to commute back home for hours every day...
Q1: Is there a new trend in young people's behavior?
Q2: Is this typical for 18 years olds - changing partners weekly and posting about intercourse on FB?
Q3: What do the monks teach about these issues?
Just wondering. (As a Christian youth, I was very troubled about sexual urges... Living with my grandmother who held old views. By no means am I trying to diss anyone. And I do respect openness and honesty!

Disclaimer: I haven't ordered yet protein in Thailand. And am disu=gusted with GNC's or Fitness First's prices.

I read good reviews for Ultimate Nutrition's Iso 93 powder. My aim is weight loss and I want to avoid carbs and the other junk many makers put in there. A few days ago, I saw it @ 1,750 B but cannot locate the dealer any more
The 10 lbs @ 3,799 B for 10 lbs Prostar Whey seems an okay deal as well. Compare that to the 800 Baht per kg Protein 80 powder some club sells...
Hope someone has better prices for these 2 proteins I am interested in.
Cheers!

If the condo has experienced no maintenance for 8 years -then it may be in trouble.
If the lifts don't work and a culture of' non payment' by co -owners exists -then it may be worthless.
This assumes that it has a lift.
If it can be rented, it has worth.
1k5 return on 200k = 10%
Pretty good deal, for not that large a risk.
I would take a chance.
Nope, not 10% even in an ideal world with no repairs, vacancies or HOA fees. That "culture of non-payment" by Delight is a great point. At my condo, some penthouse owners owe >600,000 B. with some 20% being on the list of non-payers they hang up sporadically but never ever do something like suing or repossessing a unit.
Someone must pay - check it out.
And you need to get some return for the risk and the hassle. Just the showings are a PITA. You don't value your own time? all for 1,500 B a month?!?? Think again!
-
You get what you pay for, although saying that, if rented all year you would be getting around 8% after any maitenance etc....so not so bad
That's the real deal - and it stinks financially. There will be HOA fees. and if the Thai management is like my condo's, then they have some 20% defaulters on their hands, meaning the good guys paying for the freeloaders.
Stay there an hour during the night. Cooking smells? noise levels? What's your gut reaction?
1,500 gross rent - and the net rent after vacancy, repairs, service calls etc.? 1,000 B? Appreciation likely? why do you think the guy's selling?
But if you buy, drive a hard bargain. Maybe you will get it for a much reduced price?
Are there dogs allowed? At my condo, they used to be banned. but with tenants come the souped up cars and morons red-lining cold engines and yapping dogs - often all alone on the balcony.
Noise pollution would kill the deal for me! One noisy dog next door and no tenant will put up with that.
Be careful

For what it is worth, here is what I did.
High pitched concrete tile roof, reflective paper under the tiles, rendered brick walls, roof overhangs walls for inc.shade and top quality ceiling insulation.
When you walk inside my home from the shade of the entry balcony you can instantly feel the temperature difference.
Good ventilation of the living areas, combined with good fans mean I never use the aircon except in the bedroom.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
Well, I'm not sure about what to do under the tiles as my main concern is reflecting most of the IR rays away from the roof.
Am looking at different coatings. One nano coating claims 95% reflection, a dubious claim? Ti Ox pigments are still around 87%. Just asking as I would hate to fall for some marketing ploy like in the U.S. food manufacturers are allowed to sell stuff as "sugar / fat free" which sure as hell is not!

A real drop in temperature of 3 degrees Celsius would make a difference!
Any tips on losing a beer gut ?

Well, I've started taking Psyllium Husk (mixed quickly, then drank with cold water). and it has produced results. More bowel movements.
You might also add raw garlic to your diet (mixed with some other food).
Personally, I have discovered CASEIN protein bpowder and found some 4 lbs @ 2,100 B @ Fitwhey. Okay stuff, it fills you up and replaces my dinner now.
Eating half and avoiding carbs for dinner should help when combined with HIIT training - check out www.sixpaclfactory.com 's free videos on fat loss exercises.
Good luck!
