Re: Native English Teachers To Be Given Thai Fluency Tests
"A lot of talk" usually means "yet another totally unfounded rumour". I suspect this is as likely to happen as every student in Thailand is to get a free 'tablet'. Of course, its an excellent idea if they give the teacher a year off with pay to study Thai. :roll: Pete's right, t...

Re: Native English Teachers To Be Given Thai Fluency Tests
I think it is fair and I think they should be checking how fluent the teachers are in English at the same time.

Re: Too much insulting
I just wanted to say don`t give up on the street sales just find another way. Some of the markets maybe or talk to some of local mom and pop stores and see if you can put product on their shelves. Don`t give in find a different way.

Re: Silent R's Thai to English
In the old days when I would go see my ex she was working at Carrefour in Bangkok on Ramintra road I would have to tell the Taxi to go to "Caa foo" Raminta. SO I would mispronounce the store name (no R`S) If you're English, you almost certainly mispronounce it in the opinion of a French s...

Re: Too much insulting
I am sorry about what happened. But you are wandering the bar area is not a good idea IMHO intent on selling something. Either the girls or their customers are your target group. People who go to have a few will say things stupid after a few not an excuse just reality and not the best place for a sa...

Being polite to foriegners in Thailand
Is it a waste of time trying to be polite when in Thailand? An example would be at the market and see some one who is not Thai(Tourist/farang what ever) And as you pass by you say Morning/good morning/Just nod hello and you get the glare like your wrecking my holiday what are you selling or even wor...
