Yes it's vely annoying that NONE of the staff in Siam Paragon or Siam Icon can speak english....so annoying that i won't go shopping there anymore.

You must have a very boring life considering the things that you wont do because it doesn't actually suit you.

 

You must feel like you're living in a foreign country or something.

 

Thai people who don't speak English? Outrageous!

    Well, I back the immigration people on this one. Working illegally, not paying taxes etc. These people cause problems for all of us.

    Really? Enough reports of people being turned away when having had 2 or more actual visas, and border hopping has been tough for a long time, so how have they been getting away with it all those years

I have admiration for most teachers, especially those that taught mine at an EP school, they did a sterling job.....however having an ology degree in some nonsensical subject dosnt give someone the skills to teach and make them.professional. I have seem some of the idiots that have degrees and have no common sense whatsoever....

Lol typical response of people who don't have a degree. It's not about the subject it's about the discipline and research skills. However, beyond the degree point you need training to be a teacher not some idiot who worked in a factory back home with an 'O' level in metalwork.

So they get rid of the people on tourist visas and repleace them with who exactly?  

 

What is needed is either a change in the law to make it easier to get a teaching WP or a bit of pragmatism by continuing the look the other way. 

 

Otherwise half the ESL teachers will be gone, to be replaced by Thais who can barely speak English.

How is this a "crackdown" when only one person was arrested, and that being because there were complaints made about her for other reasons? Total BS headline grab.
