The Thailand Blacklist

**RhenoA380** · 12th October 2006 08:22

Hello, all. Can anyone give me the latest address of the Thailand blacklist of bad schools?

I've got a baaadddd one to add.

Welshman, what's up? Back me up on my addition to the blacklist, buddy!

*wink*

I think there used to be a site like TEFLwatch.org or something, where they used to burn on school cause a few white boys cried to them... not sure, never checked it out myself. You can see if it is out on the interweb or not.

Yours,
Norng Citan

There's a sticky in the staffroom for teflwatch.org

Moved

teflwatch.org it is - pretty good these days, not half so much silly unsubstantiated whinging as there used to be

It still has too many headcases

That's because there are any number of headcases working TEFL in Thailand.

**mrsquirrel** · 12th October 2006 13:22

What number?

**Jellybean** · 12th October 2006 13:52

Well Quirrel, there's you and I for a start!

**RhenoA380** · 12th October 2006 23:45

Hey, guys. Thanks a bunch. I appreciate the hot tips. I'll go to that TEFLwatch.org site and post what needs to be posted.

Like I said in my post, ANY number. Wanna borrow me specs?

**mrsquirrel** · 13th October 2006 08:04

Any chance of an estimation.

I love this thread!

My personal favourite highlight

110,000 baht a month minimum
Visas PAID by school
Housing PAID by school
Utilities PAID by school
Plane tickets PAID by school

Anything less is "No Damn Way" when it comes to Thailand.

Damn right bitches!

Hey, so what's that TEFL watch all about now? It's just got ads and a picture of a copper sink. There aren't any posts related to teaching. You can still look at old posts by typing in the name of the school and...Hall of Shame.
Presumably you can add to these too.

Shame it's closed really, as BKK and I'm guessing the rest of Thailand has it's fair share of put upon teachers. Any chance of ajarn doing some kind of offshoot? I guess anybody could set up a new one, but nobody wants to get sued.

Thailand is gentle compared with some countries believe me

Lol....I did the ORIGINAL version of TEFL Watch which was called ThaiSchoolWatch.com, it was a resounding success, if your definition of success is having every single complained about school admin throwing the threat of lawsuits at you in a country where defamation is an imprisonable offence.....that'll teach me to found forums when drunk ...it really did shock me how quick it took off too!

As far as Ajarn doing something like that now, we do offer a fairly limited albeit heavily moderated subforum called School Talk which gives limited scope for feedback on schools, but there's no way we'd allow the libellous excesses of TEFL Watch on here....we're more lenient than we used to be though.
