I came in over ten years ago on a tourist visa, a two-year degree, and found work immediately. Things have changed and schools are getting closer scrutiny right now. Be sure you have a full Bachelors Degree with transcripts. You don't need to be physically IN Thailand to use Ajarn. Unfortunately you have picked the worst time to come. The school year has already started, most billets are already filled. September/October is the Thai schools' next break, there are SOME openings available then. Join these Facebook groups and doors can open for you:

This is complete bullshit, at least with respect to the start of the school year. Depending on the school, the school year starts from May 2 -21, 2019. There will be plenty of hiring going on at least through early May.

What do you want to learn ? Can you read and write Thai ?

I come from Canada, where I am very proud to say, strangers can trust each other. 99.999% of the time, nothing goes wrong. Here, no one can trust anyone who is out of their sight,or even within their sight. I am not talking only about Thai-foreigner relations;it is equally true Thai - Thai.

The ones at Sathorn Pier (sorry, I've forgotten the number) go eastbound on Sathorn Road, then southbound on Soi Senloo-ee (St. Louis) 3. I am rather hazy on the route beyond there, I think they turn east on Jan Road. (same route in reverse).

Be honest & truthful with your new employer.  Beyond that, do nothing. If it becomes an issue, let him handle it.  I did that once, after my first employer refused to cancel my W.P. The personnel officer at my new employer resolved the problem with a phone call. I doubt there was a fine. If there was, it didn't come out of my pocket. 

This is a Work Permit issue, not a Visa issue. She has a visa, valid until May 20, contingent on her obtaining a W.P. It is nonsensical that she make two more trips out of the country.  Her employer needs to do whatever needs to be done, to complete her W. P. application.

If he won't, she should find another employer before May 20, and the sooner the better, so that the new employer has time to do a W.P. application.

I am guessing that your girlfriend is a teacher. With Thailand now between school years,she should have no trouble finding a new job if necessary.

And, don't wait until you are down to your last satang before making the transfer. There is a little more too it than there is in walking to the nearest ATM and pressing the Fast Cash button.

Try 045-241-161 Source: thaiyello.com; not from personal experience.

You have the option of downloading a form.If you walk in without one, the clerk will give you one.  As I said above, you need nothing from your employer. But take your passport. They do want to verify your identity.

You can cancel it yourself. You need nothing, or no one from the company. Take your passport, your Work permit, and go to your Dept. of Labour Office. Then take the receipt, which they will give you, to Immigration. Keep that receipt for yourself for future use (as proof of the cancellation.)

As she said Brexit means Brexit no deal is better than a bad deal and we are leaving on the 29th 108 times has she mislead the country or just taking advice from a general in a far off land of how to win when you have lost????

Brexit means Brexit

Leave means Leave

March 29, 2019 means March 29, 2019. April 12, 2019 ? May 22, 2019 ?

Hey Leavers, what's the problem ? Does the grass on the other side of the fence not look as green as it once did ?

7, 6, 5,...

I'm a bit hazy on this, since I haven't frequented that area since 2010. Northbound on Nang Linchee/Suan Phlu, use the one that terminates at Lumphini Park. I think it's 1240.  When it arrives at Sathorn Road, get off, and take Bus # 17 westbound. It goes to the west (river) end of Sathorn, then turns left on to Charoen Krung. Get off at the first stop and walk back to Sathorn Pier.

To the OP: Giving your location might elicit replies from those with local knowledge. Start with the nearest location of KTB, because you have an account there now.  They might think "If he is good enough for branch "xxx", maybe he is good enough for us."

I used to do it in  the early 2000's. Even then, their ticketing system was computerized.

Once again:  "Witthayu Road" and "Wireless" Road are one and the same. I don't know why this road has an English-language name (in addition to its Thai name), but it does. If directing a taxi driver, refer to it as Witthayu. It is the major north -south road which borders Lumphini Park. To the best of my knowledge, the little soi/driveway which is labelled "Wireless Road" on your map has no name. The entrance to the Aus. Embassy is from this little soi.

While I haven't been in the building, I have been in the soi. (The French Embassy is in the same soi.)

The entrance to the Aus. Embassy is from the soi. "Wireless Rd." is the English translation of Witthayu Rd.The little soi which is marked "Wireless Rd." on your map is unnamed.

It is unclear to me - where are you living now ?

                            - where do you propose to be living as of April 1st ?

I don't mean the geographic location. I mean guest house/hotel/apartment.

To Ricklev:  I  switched my reason for extension from "Employment" to "Retirement" in Bangkok in 2010. I used B 800,000 that I had earned and saved in Thailand.  Despite subsequent statements to the contrary on this forum, such as the one above, I had to provide proof where the money had come from. There seemed to be an unspoken allegation that to have saved that much money, I must have been involved in something illegal. I provided copies of five years' income tax returns, which was enough to satisfy them.

For renewals, I have never been asked where the money came from. It is an issue for first time applications.

So, are you an American, to be receiving a payment from the U.S. govt. ?

I am a longtime Thai resident, and I too am not clear what you  are talking about.

  - my best guess is that you are going to be receiving a regular social security payment (from The Philippine government) ?

 - what embassy in Manila are you referring to ?  If you will be receiving  payments from the Philippine govt., contact whatever part of the government will be issuing the payments.

- Most, if not all foreigners in Thailand who receive automatic monthly deposits have savings accounts.

   I don't know if direct deposits are permitted into fixed-term accounts or not.  My guess would be not.  Some of these accounts have minimum requirements for deposits, others might require that the bankbook be provided each time. I was once told that I could not make a deposit to my fixed-term account because I was not at my home branch.

I have sent you a Private Mail.  Sign in to see it.

I worked as a teacher in Thailand from 1995 - 2010, and again for a couple of years in the current decade. I had to have my degree authenticated for my first job, but I was never asked to do it again. As with so many other things, the requirements are sometimes overlooked. But, if someone has told you that if you want a certain job, you need to have your degree authenticated, the choice is yours.

You didn't state your country of citizenship. Contact your embassy in Bangkok for advice on how to proceed.

One notable exception: Britons can only have thir degrees authenticated in Britain.

The job advertising websites won't help you. They earn their income from the schools.
