impulse Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 9 hours ago, cdemundo said: You must be able to do a job that a Thai person cannot do or you are considered to be taking a job from a Thai. That's not accurate. There is a list of jobs that foreigners are not allowed to do. But foreigners can do jobs that Thai people can do, as long as the job is not on the restricted list. The foreigner needs to have a work permit, which requires their employer to pay 4 Thai people for every foreigner on staff, and pay income tax on 30,000, 50,000 or 80,000 a month to keep the WP renewed, depending on what category the work falls under. (there may be other categories that require paying income tax on lower or higher amounts. Agriculture, for example). If a foreigner couldn't take a job that a Thai could do, there would be no Lao farmworkers, Cambodian hotel maids, or Burmese fishermen. Or any permutations... For most of us from the nanny states, the biggest hurdle is competing with Thai employees who generally work a lot cheaper than we're accustomed to. Unless we have a special skill.

Never understood the concept of abandoning a job or career in the West to come to Thailand to teach English for 35k baht a month. Sex addiction. The prospect of not getting a leg over for a year is a mighty disincentive to doing the sensible thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredwiggy Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 21 hours ago, Sticky Rice Balls said: i got my TEFL in CM but found out im not a babysitter....gave up trying to teach thais that seem to have no interest in english Kinda true for many. I help in an English school and most of the teachers he hires are English speakers from other countries, where English is a language they learned in school also. There are quite a few English teachers still working all over Thailand as they are the ones who will actually see some learning from some students. The Thai teachers that teach English? Many of them don't speak English very well and only hand out assignments for the children to copy, including the school where my 7 year old daughter goes. She speaks English better than anyone at the school. When I help, most of the kids, especially the older ones, are busy on their phones and I have to get their attention to get them to do something. Some are serous about learning and these you can tell right off with their excitement. Most of the others couldn't care less. My boss, the school owner, doesn't allow Thai spoken on the grounds and was taught in America himself, and sees how sad most Thai schools are as far as students learning much. They don't leave kids behind here, even if they're failing or rarely show up. Funny anecdote, he told me of a 19 year old half Thai (half American) boy who lived with his dad until dad passed away, that couldn't speak English!! I'm thinking how is this possible living with an English speaking dad? Talking with the teachers he hires, most of them say the same thing. They like the occasional camps that are put on, as much of the day is spent playing games and singing songs in English. They participate, then go back home and rarely speak English because no one around them knows how. The jobs are much, like you say, babysitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you given a tour of his infamous garden? I certainly hope no one was “rolled over in the clover “. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=BFIwtsmVTKc&si=QzoGsMQDAzOSYgj0 What i don't understand is how many people lie and exaggerate here. Why not believe what someone says? Why would they lie about their lifestyle, at ages from 50-85, with most around 67 or more? Some brag about penis size, like silly teenage boys, and how many girls that look like teen students they "bang" a week. A lot just assume they know anyone here, what they know, how smart they are, how strong etc, without ever leaving their homes or bar stools. I never lie and why would I? Who would I be trying to impress here? People I'll never meet, so what's the point? Transam sends pics of his house, and why would he send pictures of another's house? Bragging he has a garden, or just showing others for plain interest and like hobbies? I think the latter. I know a lot here are angry. I myself don't like living here, mostly because I can't do what I liked to do back home, and the fact this is not a good place for girls or women, and I want my daughter to be back home in a more secure, safe place where she will have a better chance of a better future in schooling, jobs and a future husband. I try and help others because I'm into certain subjects and spend a lot of time researching them, so why not pass along the wisdom? Arguing to prove a point to help someone with correct facts is worth it. Arguing for the sake of arguing , or trolling, is immature, and doesn't help anyone. If you don't like someone here, don't respond to their posts, because a pissing contest doesn't work online, and only if you can meet up with someone should you brag about yourself, because otherwise it's just a waste of time. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
