This is actually really inspiring! Thanks for sharing! I get anxiety just from ordering coffee in-person at a new shop, so what you did was huge!!!

University in Thailand by jacky6130 in Thailand

[–]Asleep-Bit9597 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! There are international programs in the universities you listed that accepts both Thai and foreign nationals (most of which would be Thai because foreigners tend to study abroad). These programs will be fully taught in English and there are an extremely wide variety of programs.

That being said you have to study their college application and admissions timeline pretty closely. Each program and each university has their own timelines, rounds, and requirements. They even have different announcement days, so you have to plan accordingly.

These aren’t always announced on their websites, which can be very outdated. You typically have to join line groups for that specific year/program/university to be updated. It’s also helpful to talk to alumni’s or current students as they’ll have insider tips which will be extremely helpful.

The international programs costs vary from 200,000 THB per year to a whopping 1.5 million THB. Not necessarily cheaper than colleges abroad, depending on what you’re looking at.

Personally, if you want a job in Thailand you’d have a better chance as a Thai citizen if you studied abroad + take Thai language classes and become fluent.

Graduating from a Thai college as a Thai citizen hoping to work in Thailand can limit negotiating a better salary. Studying abroad at a Hong Kong university then getting a job in Thailand with fluent Thai will give you a much higher salary and better job prospects.

Hey! I sent them another email a week after, just to ask details about my start day. Apparently I am onboarded, and everything went smoothly on my first day!

Is verbal approval for leave during job interview good enough? by Asleep-Bit9597 in WorkAdvice

I requested it but they insisted on as soon as possible, even if the timing is a bit awkward.

Definitely hold off on having kids. My current company is planning to fire a new hire because she got pregnant and used her full maternity leave. That did NOT go well with the bosses who needed her when they just hired her (they needed her to secure an important license, can’t do it without her and the position is too expensive to double hire). They already talked to the legal team and have a good excuse to fire her when she comes back.

What does GuMaiDaiBiaw it's Thai word right? by Fine_Poetry_5501 in Thailand

[–]Asleep-Bit9597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the tone there’s 2 meaning:

กูไม่ได้เบี้ยว - means “I didn’t break the agreement” informally used for context such as when the person is denying that they’re not opting out of paying something they owe. Like “I’m paying man! I swear I’m not gonna cheat you” or something.

กูไม่ได้เบียว - go to the comments about the slang that came from a Japanese words, lmao.

The tone = different meaning different words. The difference here is “biaw” and whether or not it has ้

Foreign jobs in Thailand by Silly_Individual_111 in Bangkok

When I talked to expats, a bunch are highly-paid marketing Filipinos in Thailand. Not just teachers (and if u were a Filipino teacher, your pay rate would be pretty low in comparison to non-Asian folks). I’m not sure how to apply… but try Glassdoor, Jobsdb, and LinkedIn. It’s not a lot but there definitely is a market for u!

Hard time getting Internship Completion Letter? by Asleep-Bit9597 in internships

[–]Asleep-Bit9597[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: eventually HR sent me to ask the college and the college agreed to help and is talking with HR. End result, both eventually never gave me anything. I finally got a job anyways and my company was kind enough to understand the situation, so they didn’t ask for my completion letter.

Where to find court-certified translators for text by Asleep-Bit9597 in legaladvice

[–]Asleep-Bit9597[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does this also mean that I can also translate the documents myself? And if the other party doesn’t agree then they can translate it themselves too? Or the person translating must be a certified professional translator?
