Tywais Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 When trying to communicate, it is important to write in a fashion that is understood. He seems to understand the level of English that would be understood. Should have been Tinglish to throw them off the track. Then they would be going bar to bar to find him.

Tywais Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Speaks volumes for American english teachers. Here we go. Just a tongue in cheek comment no offence intended. It is funny having a note written like this and it turns out to be an english teacher. Being American is just a bonus for jokes. Fair enough. Just these 'seeds' have a tendency to grow out of hand.

chooka Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I am wondering how they got on to the guy. Remember the note was written for someone with about a 5th grade English comprehension level Maybe he wanted more than the 49% interest in the business venture and his thai partner was not having any of that.

RKASA Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 62? Must have just found out that his SSA didn't meet the income standard for a retirement visa in Thailand and got pissed off. Should have saved for retirement. "my long haired translator (wife app) said that he had 2 or 3 wives/girlfriends and liked to gamble and go to go go bars" That is what they call going native.

jbrain Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I am struggling to comprehend that the person that wrote that note is here teaching kids English. Looks to be written by a 5 year old. You should take the time to have a chat with some foreign English teachers in this country 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 To all the contributors that are complaining or indicating on behalf of the bank robber the poor wages of the Thai school teacher, you are reminded that no one asked him or any one else to be a teacher, as no one asked him to rob a bank, In mitigation I would say that he was miss led by the antic's of the PTP administration and could see the benefits of being rich, little did the robber know that the gravy train is at platform 13. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I bet you the bank will consider the robber's note a cheque and now try to charge him an over-the-counter foreign transaction fee--anything to get a fee!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samran Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 One man loses the plot and now it's bash all Yanks. Pathetic.

watcharacters Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Speaks volumes for American english teachers.

cup-O-coffee Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Did he have a work permit? Aside from that digression, what has being a teacher got to do with this? I only see that a foreigner robbed a bank. Cut his balls off, boil them and let him burn in Hell.... erm... oh, sorry, ... heh heh... wrong topic. I mean, throw him in the slammer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Surely he was just "buying in" to a certain language school provider who claims to assist in the procurement of documentation that entitles the holder of said documentation to engage in the education sector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) BTW, bash the yanks if you come from a small socialist country on the brink of collapse & have gotten a lot of US aid over the course of the past few decades (or would otherwise be speaking German right now).

Robby nz Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Would have thought that to be able to teach English to Thai kids you would need some basic knowledge of Thai or at the very least have an English Thai dictionary. That being the case surely he could have written the note in Thai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
