So,I guess that the workload at these 'good' international schools matches that of State schools in the UK?

I would check if any of your local schools have an EP programme.....I found International schools overly expensive for what they provided, EP programes are 1/10th of the cost yet the curriculum is on a par....and altough a lot of teachers are good at what they do, you can see from this thread that the proffession does attract convicts, drunks and the like just because they want to stay in Thailand.

Where on earth in this thread is there any indication that the profession attracts convicts, drunks and the like?

Perhaps you were drunk when you wrote this.

EP programs are generally staffed by CELTA and TESOL qualified people. 4 week course in other words.

Internationals usually are staffed by home-country qualified teachers with PGCE or BEd's. There is quite a difference.

Phatcharanan....  teachers who thought as you do are currently being handed prohibition notices preventing them from leaving the country after having been presented with tax demands for their first two years.   The situation differs as between those who claim a refund direct fro mthe Revenue Department and those who receive their salaries gross.  My article refers.*Direct Link edited out*

Could you please send to my PM one of those forms? Personal information can be redacted if required.

I say this because I left to work in Qatar and I have been in Thailand for quite a while............and I had no problem nor tax to pay for those two years.

However, have those 'teachers that you know' been in Thailand before as a tourist? I have heard of the Revenue Department classing any type of initial visit as the commencement of the 2 year exemption period.

Other than that, the tax treaty between the UK and Thailand is still current.

The above is all correct..........that's a normal workload for the good internationals.

I make 240,000 Baht a month and save 66% of that. I know it's not 75% but it does me.

Tax last year...I ended up paying 1.58% of my salary.

Due for a 5.8% civil servant pay rise in July too.

You make 240,000 a month as a PGCE qualified teacher?? That on the NET scheme?

What school is that?
