7baht is 7baht but some own line buddies have researched the name and produced the thai 7baht stamp surprise surprise

Had an interview today with a government school.

Last interview I had like this was for a position in a nuclear plant.

4 people in a semi creasent position and 2 firing questions at me.

When it was my turn to ask some question I was already amused so I asked

1) How many teachers have you fired in the last 3 years?    answer " we cant tell you "

2) Can I view your school policies?  answer  " not till we decide to hire you "

3) May I view the school contract?  answer  " Its against thai law to show you the contract till we decide to hire you"

4) Do you lock the employees in during working hours?   answer    " Yes "

5) Will you abide by the thai labor code?  answer  " None"


I have to admit  in my 7 years in thailand I have never seen this type of interview in any government school and as far as that goes pvt institutions also.
Maybe I have been lucky

Could this be the new standard? Is this future process of employment
inside the thai school system?

About time they started a screening process.

I did get the feeling ,by some questions, that I was being asked to spy on other teachers and report my observations to the school admins, which I flatly refused to do so.

All this isnt negative to me  but HELL !!!! Your only offering me $30,000 baht a month..not a corp CEO position.
