sidjameson Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Friend of mine wants to do this. She has the money, but I think she is not aware of any of the beurocracy involved. Can any one shed some light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happynthailand Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 if the teacher is a farang it's not going to happen,all kind's of red tape . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meand Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If yo want to do anything worthwhile and provide any sort of actual good service and education, she will probably be denied somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescollister Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 OP you don't say whether she is in fact a teacher or not, Thai or farang, or what type of school. We have a English speaking pre school about 30 km from here, Thai wife teacher and farang husband teacher plus staff all qualified teachers. So it is possible, but not easy.

meand Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 All Thai women have the same ideas, and about the same amount of acumen when it comes to actually executing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekAbroad Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Bump this post back to life. I also have a Thai friend that asked me about opening a language school. I told her from what I gathered it would be very difficult, especially if I did it. This topic has come up (again) recently in the teaching forum. Some of the posts there suggest a language centre as opposed to a school, any means to keep as much MOE and other bureaucracy out of it as possible to make it easier. So if it's just a business, say a tutoring business with no educational connections, would it indeed make it easier for a Thai to open this business and employ farangs and Thais? I would most likely work there, at least in the beginning to help get it running. My creds: BA in English, minor in Linguistics; MA TESOL; experience working in US public schools, taught at an EP in US and very little in China, studied second language acquisition and TESOL curriculum/program design, finally moved to Thailand (been here a few times before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
