    It really sounds like you'll be exempt from the test/edu course. You seem to be on a similar level with Wangsuda, who, on our course, was essentially told not to worry for one second about the rest of it, the TL is already on the way...

    Great post Keeshou...

    Cortez - thanks for the reports...it might have made a difference having David come first, as we got all the 'serious' stuff out of the way first and were, as you were, pretty satisfied with it. So we were all pretty happy when we got to mess about with Dr. Oratai for the rest of the course...

    Yup. Ran into two folks in the last couple of days who have been teaching here for a few years both denied non-B extensions because they didn't have the course.

    Considering the course hasn't been offered locally in any sort of a well publicized way, pretty damn ridiculous.

    Yea. Serious bullshit Panny. Both these folks get all the necessary forms filled out. Go to Labour and get "straightened" away (At a cost of course). Go to Immigration and are asked for the the course certificate. Go back to Labour where the folks empathize with their situation. Tell them to try another immigration office. Wish em luck and all that.

    Fucking just keeps going round and round and round.

    I predict major pain and suffering for many over the next few weeks

    strange that, as I have just had my visa extended for another year,(and WP) and I was missing a letter from the Governor, however with a phone call to his office (imm not me) they said all is OK he will fax it to us, see you next year , never a mention about any courses at all.
    Goes to show it's not that important, just the schools seem to think it is.

    I had no problems as well - two months ago. It might vary from Immi to Immi, IMO.

    No, it shows how fucking stupid these fucking Thais are in implementing these stupid, stupid extortionist rules that aren't even universal but haphazardly enforced depending on Somchai's awareness or bent on fucking with the average well meaning foreigner...

    We are well meaning, aren't we?

    Yeah I know of language schools which refuse to employee anyone without a TEFL, or similar certificate.

    I was importuned hard to participate in the Thai Culture Course course and charged 4500 cookies. Now it's dropped to 1800.

    If the BS to teach in Thailand is so think, why the hell are people staying there? The money is crap, unless you land a job at one of the top international schools. Why not explore other options in Asia? If you get a higher paying job in, say, China, you could easily afford to travel to Thailand or other SE Asian countries during your holidays. Doesn't make sense to have to deal with such idiotic regulations...

    So is anyone actually contemplating the year long, 80 thousand baht course?
