That is true.

He hadn't.

He publicly went of at his school head for being such an ignoramus and ignoring his rights as a U.S. citizen then Thailand as a whole for being such a backward Monkeyland that cannot even adhere to its laws and treaties.

He left pretty quickly after that.

First, thanks for posting that info/link.

I read the wording, but I wonder if you'd simply have to fly back to the states to get this exemption? Probably not. It sounds like people at universities wanting to come over and teach or do research, so it may be pretty specific?? I'll definitely look into it, and thanks again, good info.

Also sounds like you'd have to prove you have a permanent residence in the states.

the US has a similar arrangement with alot of countries. The one for Korea is almost identical except it says 'the person must be invited by the ROK gov't' which negates most teachers. But you should be eligible for this. It helps if your school understands about the deal will stand behind you. My school did.

I feel it was the public shouting at the Thai head, and also having to admit fault that made that American freak run.

They're quite cowardly like that.
