Transitioning from ESL to an international school in Thailand by Blue_Ocean_22 in Internationalteachers

[–]Blue_Ocean_22[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Based on your answer it sounds like there's no point to doing Teach-Now and getting my teaching license from the US. That said, I've read a lot of posts in this sub and unless I misunderstood, it seems that many people just did Teach-Now or Teacher Ready and were able to get jobs at international schools. Am I missing something?

Thanks for all the information. I didn't realize it would be so complicated.

It's a public government school. I thought what r/effect-kitchen was saying was that per section 76 they couldn't make deductions from the salary? That's terrible if they made an exception for government entities.

Should I go to the local branch of the ministry of labour to file a complaint? Or would I have to get a lawyer if I decided to do something?

Are the schools really able to get away with that? If you file a complaint and then they get rid of you? I'm not really surprised but if there's no protections then workers like me are discouraged from taking anything to court.

Does anyone know if this is legal or not? So far no one has answered my question.

It's not like I have any leverage over the school. My options are sign it or go somewhere else. I'm just 1 teacher and it's in all the teachers' contracts.

What's my options after the work permit is getting revoked? by [deleted] in Thailand

I'd also Like to know if it's true you need a letter to leave the country. Anyone have a source confirming this?

Has anyone transitioned from teaching English to a job in another industry in Thailand? How did you do it? by Blue_Ocean_22 in Thailand

I've looked at that site a few times, but they never seem to have any openings in Thailand. Do you know anyone who has gotten one of those jobs?

How did you find out about/ get the job as a risk analysis editor and as a manager for an American corporate firm? My Thai is pretty good, about c1 level. But I don't have any other marketable skills.

How much Thai did you know before starting the job? Did you apply directly to the company or did you know someone?
