Chiang Mai Thai

Ever wanted to learn Thai, in Chiang Mai? I did just that from November 2010, returning home in October 2011. If you don't want a headache, start HERE, it will explain the preceding posts. I'm Snap, Stray's other half. COOEE is our (other) travel blog.

Curiouser and curiouser

I'm going to shift focus for this post, to Stray's TEFL course, because frankly this is just annoying the crap out of me. Bare with me if you will.

  • Stray books a TEFL course, via a booking (UK/US) agent, to be held at CMULI
  • I book a one year Thai language course directly with CMULI
  • Mine was cancelled recently by the director of IUS. I've since found that IUS, allegedly, is not registered company.
  • Stray's course was confirmed around the same time by the director of IUS.
  • The booking agent instructed Stray to contact him directly about confirmation of the course, airport taxi and accommodation? All included in his package.
  • Stray hears nothing more from the booking agent and time's a wasting, we leave next week. Where does he go, at what time, what does he bring?
  • Reply - contact someone, anyone, at http://www.unitefl.com/ ...jing reuu, who are they?
  • Whoever they are, the domain name is registered to Chiang Mai University Language Institute (Exactly who is CMULI?).
  • As do the other four domains disowned by CMU in their public statement. Note, I didn't name the file in the link.
  • According that that statement CMULI = CMU, not IUS.
  • Now we have five domains in the picture. Four out of these domains all have the same contact person, the director of IUS, including http://www.unitefl.com/ !
  • The CMU public statement also says that all four courses have been cancelled, including TEFL.
  • A new geographical location was provided by the booking agent to a friend of mine, who was enquiring about the same TEFL course, a few days ago.
  • Now, low and behold, the TEFL course reemerges at a different geographical location, but under the same website registrant, CMULI.
Is it just me? Do I need medicating?


See what else we're up to at Cooee!
