Recently I inquired whether Ramkamhaeng would be willing to offer their weekend progam in Khon Kaen if there were sufficient numbers. Their response was yes, they will do it if we can find 14 people willing to commit.

Dodging the TEFL scammers
In Blogs: Steve Schertzer - 2nd September 2009

A tongue-in-cheek look at some rather eccentric teachers
In Ajarn Street: Articles - 20th August 2009
I’ve always been wary of religious types. Let me be the last man to begrudge anyone the right to have a faith but there’s a time and a place. Sunday morning in church springs instantly to mind.
