Getting the facts right!

Getting the facts right!

In response to the letter written by James (Food for thought Postbox 25th November) I have several points I would like to bring up. Firstly, James you completely missed the point what Mike Walker wrote in his article. He was annoyed by the fact that the staff at his school laughed at him when he asked about being paid, and so would most people with a brain. Secondly, there is social security system in place in Thailand, but only for Thais. Next, Most contracts here are written in Thai and even if you ask the school to translate the contract into English the translation isn't accurate. Besides that the contract isn't worth the paper it is written on anyway! James, I suggest that you get your facts right!
