As I was buying a white board today to use while working with my wife and son on their English language skill, the thought occurred to me: "Can you legally teach English to a Thai national Family Member without a work permit?".

So I decide to take a poll. What do you think? Is Thai bureaucracy so rigid that you risk getting tossed into jail because you 'volunteered' to teach your own family (remember -- volunteer work requires a work permit too)?

Just something that makes me go, "Hummmm....".

No one can teach English to a Thai unless they are reasonably fluent in Thai also. Can one person out there expect to learn Chinese, unless the teacher is bilingual in English? Impossible.

You are likely to be arrestsed, paraded through the streets of Bangkok, heckled, stoned, gouged and stabbed by the locals before being crucified on the the incoming runway of Bkk Airport as a warning to other Farang miscreants.

I thought this was common knowledge.
