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.

A new academic year dawns
It's time to refill the marker pens and dust off the blackboards
In Blogs: Steve Crawford - 1st May 2009
It’s the new academic year and this one feels a little different than last year. Aphisit’s campaign promise of slashing tuition and incidental fees for all Thai taxpayers has many government schools running scared.

A time of change
How does teaching in Thailand now compare to twenty years ago?
In Ajarn Street: Articles - 11th February 2009
For those of you pissing and moaning about visa runs, the immigration department, the work permit process, the unpredictability of the consulates in neighboring countries - let me tell you this - it was no better in the early 90s. In fact I'd say marginally worse.

Doing it yourself
What it takes to start your very own language school
In Blogs Archived: Jason Alavi - 1st January 2009
For the first two years we actually lived in our school. This was tiring and annoying, but saved us a lot of money, obviously. Our monthly mortgage was only 6,600 baht, for which we got a house AND a school! The drawbacks to this sort of arrangement are that we had to pull out our bedrolls after the school was closed down

The Thai culture course
How to scam, exploit and demoralise foreign teachers
In Blogs Archived: Tazza's Thailand Tales - 1st July 2008
Day one of the course began with the typical smiles and greetings. The venue laid on a nice little breakfast pack for each of us and well wishers waited at the doors to greet us with: "Hello, thank you for coming!". (Like we had a f***ing choice!)

Understanding culture
Or the culture of understanding?
In Blogs: Steve Schertzer - 1st April 2008
If knowing more about a specific culture can make me a better teacher while I'm living there, then I'd be more than happy to sign up and pay for some culture course. But keep the "My Culture Is Better Than Your Culture" crap out of it

Prove that you’re a good teacher
In Ajarn Street: Postbox - 13th March 2007
Apparently you did not read the latest interview with the MoE in Chaingmai. The MoE does not require 4 year degrees. A teacher's license is not required for foreigners to teach English in Thailand.
