There's a lot of sh!t on this thread, especially the stuff about lazy teachers here in Thailand working illegally, etc., etc.
Most schools will lie to you about visa stuff here. Technically, the visa is one's own responsibility- but an unsuspecting teacher could hardly be blamed for not knowing the depths of unprofessionality here.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. Thai teachers and farang teachers are not in the same market. Schools which imagine this is so will quickly lose their farang teachers. Farang salaries are elevated because they don't enjoy either the benefits of long-term residency, local family, or corruption money (how many head teachers at schools drive BMWs? Lots where I am!), and they should be MORE elevated. Thai teachers get a lot fewer teaching hours in exchange for doing piddly-monkey stuff like decorating the school and rehearsing for the Happy Fluffy Dance Day.
