I did my Tefl course over 10 years ago. There's more or less 7 years since I used it. Does anybody know if there are any short courses....which provide a refresher?

Well,the internet is full of sites advertising TEFL refresher courses.

Where are you based? Thailand/Farangland? Where do you want to do your course?

Some more details would be nice,maybe then the experienced teachers on this forum will be able to point you in the right direction

Cambridge (ECC) offers what they call a TESOL course. It's like a light weight version of a CELTA course. It's about $400 whereas the CELTA is $1,400.

That's being offered by ECC in Thailand? I will take a look.

Different day, same regime terror threats but globally . Iran's military brass is now openly vowing to hit tourist spots, parks, and recreational areas anywhere in the world,straight out of the same terror playbook they've run since 1979. From hostage taking in 1979 to proxies slaughtering civilians on 10/7, to now threatening spring break tourists globally, it's the identical Iranian regime terror formula, unchanged for 47 years.

Changi Named World’s Best Airport as Suvarnabhumi Rises
Changi Named World’s Best Airport as Suvarnabhumi Rises

Georgealbert posted a topic in Thailand News - Discussion

Singapore Changi Airport has been named the world’s best airport for 2026 by Skytrax, extending its long-running dominance, while Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport climbed to 36th place in the latest global rankings. The annual list highlights continued strong performance by leading Asian hubs and steady improvement in Thailand’s main international gateway. Get today's headlines by email The rankings are based on passenger surveys conducted worldwide between 2025 and 2026, assessing service quality and overall airport experience. Changi retained the top spot, followed by Incheon International Airport and Tokyo Haneda Airport. Other airports in the top 10 include Hong Kong International Airport and Narita International Airport. Suvarnabhumi Airport improved three places from 39th in 2025 to 36th this year, reflecting gradual gains in passenger satisfaction. Across Southeast Asia, Changi remains the region’s top performer, maintaining its reputation for high service standards and efficiency. Other regional airports in the top 100 include Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 22nd, Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 60th, Noi Bai International Airport at 71st and Da Nang International Airport at 75th. The results underline the competitive landscape among major aviation hubs in Asia, particularly in Southeast Asia where passenger traffic continues to grow. The rankings reinforce Singapore’s position as a global leader in aviation standards, while indicating that Bangkok’s main airport is making incremental progress. Improvements in passenger experience at Suvarnabhumi suggest ongoing efforts to enhance services amid increasing regional competition. Khaosod reported that airports across the region are expected to continue investing in infrastructure, technology and customer service to boost their standings in future surveys. With passenger expectations rising, maintaining high service quality will remain a key factor in determining global rankings. Join the discussion? Already a member?

Chinese Suspect in Call Centre Scam Held in Bangkok
Chinese Suspect in Call Centre Scam Held in Bangkok

Georgealbert posted a topic in Thailand News - Discussion

A 37-year-old Chinese national suspected of involvement in a call centre fraud network has been arrested in Bangkok, with police seizing more than 5.5 million baht in cash. The suspect, identified as Sun Jianfeng, was detained on 19 March 2026 and brought to Huai Khwang Police Station for formal processing. Authorities say the arrest is part of ongoing efforts to combat transnational online fraud operations. Get today's headlines by email The arrest was carried out at around 14:20 by officers from the Investigation Division of Chachoengsao Provincial Police, led by Pol Lt Col Suradej Nakmuak, alongside immigration officials. Sun Jianfeng was wanted under a warrant issued by the Chachoengsao Provincial Court on charges including joint fraud by impersonation and entering false or distorted computer data likely to cause harm to others. He was apprehended at a residence in the Huai Khwang area of Bangkok. Police seized 5,520,700 baht in cash as evidence, along with a white Toyota Yaris bearing Bangkok registration. The suspect was transported to Huai Khwang Police Station to record the arrest before being handed over at 21:00 to investigators from Chachoengsao Police Station. Authorities confirmed that legal proceedings will continue in accordance with Thai law.

The charges faced by the suspect reflect the serious nature of offences involving fraud and the manipulation of computer data. Officials have not disclosed further details about potential accomplices or the wider network, but investigations are expected to continue. The seized assets may be used as evidence in court proceedings as authorities seek to dismantle related criminal operations. Thaitabloid the suspect will face formal questioning and prosecution under the charges outlined in the arrest warrant.

Flying Peasant Class from Bangkok to Europe

Kyoto Kyle · 26 minutes ago26 min

If you’re going to fly from Bangkok to Europe in cattle class, and at least one of your flights will be 10-12 hours long, what kind of things do you try to do to make your flight experience more tolerable? Do you bring a neck pillow or a seat cushion? Your own extra food? Wet wipes in case you want to take a dump on the plane? Your own hoodie to avoid freezing? Your own bottle so that you can fill it up when needed and have plenty of drinking water? Or do you survive on coffee and wine and go t

Pros and Cons of Screen Obsession Culture in Thailand

123Stodg · 23 hours ago23 hr

For a long time I have thought about the ways Thailand has changed since the rise of smartphones, back when people were not constantly nose diving into their screens. When I first arrived, smartphones did not even exist. My first phone was a big clunky Nokia with a black and white screen and a bendy retractable antenna. Then came the race to make phones smaller, with those tiny little Motorola flip phones everywhere. Nokia and Ericsson were still popular, although not quite as compact. Then the
