Those teachers are good in their own way. I remember several teachers back in my high school days who could bore a sloth. But they taught me some valuable lessons.
One lesson was that sometimes we have to endure boring things to get where we want to go. It's almost if the universe has set a cruel 'boring' tax for us all to pay. It seems we each have to be bored a certain amount in life one way or another. We are doomed to at least some boredom and can't escape it.
Another lesson I learned from my 'boring' teachers, one even more important than the above, served me well in college later. I learned that if a teacher is getting in the way of my learning, that won't stop me. If I want to learn something, I can go through the teacher, around him, over him, under him, whatever. A teacher will not stop me.
Thai students need to learn these two lessons desperately.
