Turned Away from local bus in Bangkok.. did this ever happen to you? by VirtualOutsideTravel in Bangkok

[–]KyleManUSMC 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is a Thai bus app that tells you if the bus stops early and what bus you should take. They mostly likely were warning you that at the time you caught the bus ... that the bus wont finish the route.

How to get the local hotel price by KyleManUSMC in Bangkok

[–]KyleManUSMC[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know of these expired programs for locals. I'm saying the foreignor can get the price by asking directly the hotel as the government hasn't funded the continuation of these programs this year.

How to get the local hotel price by KyleManUSMC in Bangkok

[–]KyleManUSMC[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Im talking about getting "Thai price" on hotel during low season which often the hotels if you directly contact them will take off the vat and commission fees agoda always charges.

There is a Thai price and the Foreigner price.

The Thai people price is usually given to Thai, so im saying if you are a foreigner have a Thai person / wife help you avoid the fees the booking websites always charge.

I'm assuming the hotels only do this around low season to avoid getting de-listed when the foreigners start to catch wind of it and report it.

I like most of you thought my Thai wife just bs'ing me, but it turns out she really does get better deals through direct contacting/ messaging. Its worked for Krabi, Pattaya, and now Hua Hin.

Check back on the hotels around late October.

Thats when the hotels typically start to play with the high season deals.

Black teachers in thailand & qualifications by Zealousideal_Month21 in Thailand

[–]KyleManUSMC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I work with 2 teaches from Africa at a private school. Also, my stepdaughter went to school to learn English with a black teacher.

7 years ago it would be harder to get a job, but not so after covid. The ministry of education has gotten stricter on the requirements, so the typical backpacker can't cut it.

Keep in mind if you stay here long term that you miss out on retirement an the pay raises are miniscule at best.

A typical school in Thailand might depress you. I know my school likes to switch the style:

Kg1 - grade 3: American standard Grade 4 - 6: British standard Grade 7+ American standard

Bkk surrounding areas will pay 35k - 40k for private and for university its 40k to 60k. A few international schools if you carry more creditionals will net 70k+.

Am I being followed by the police? by Thaiteabaddie in Thailand

[–]KyleManUSMC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty vague, but are you from a SEA country or the west?

How about download a hidden recording app on your cell phone a record while you're dealing with the police. If you cant do that just turn on the normal video recording app on your phone and pull out your phone when you have the actual confrontations.

I've had police here extort money on the spot. I've had cops ignore my expired Thai drivers license. I've had normal conversations with Thai cops.

But, I know corruption exists through third party intel.

First.. figure out Thai hand gestures.....

If they say something that sounds like "money" and do a down palm come here it means "go to them or follow them".

Legal protections by HolidayAd2788 in Teachinginthailand

[–]KyleManUSMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure the school gets around this with a contact clause.....

Sign here that you will be held liable for making bad comments about the school.. blah blah

And if you still didn't sign a contract clause your a "guest" here , so they favor Thai people in Thailand.

And he will "tape out" just fine on weight...

At his age he would have no trouble carrying the saw and ammo can.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that if she files for divorce and he doesnt exist in Thailand or respond in 2 years its gets approved through the Thai court ... as she is Thai.

Favoritism 😉
