Ijustwannateach Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Depends on your school. One place I know, you have to have an account with the school's bank, whether or not you have another account already. "Steven" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanster1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 It depends on what is avaliable at the end of each month. Sometimes I'll get a bunch of chickens or longans that the govt has left over from trying to barter with other countries for tanks and jets ect. Other times I'll just get cash!

PeaceBlondie Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yes, I had to open a savings account with my school's local bank, but the boss took both us farangs in there and there was no problem - just copied our passports, didn't ask about work permit, etc. One month, for some reason, the direct deposit didn't take, but they gave us the cash on the first day of month.

ferd54 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Direct deposit on the day before the last working day of the month. Like clockwork for more than a decade now. I work at a well-established international school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely true, you can have problems when trying to open an account...but if you go to enough banks or enough people in the banks....one should eventually let you do it. I've had to write letters before for teachers on tourist Visas so they're able to open an account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
