thanks limbo,

i´m hoping they can help me out with accommodation stuff and internet access. and cold beers.

does the place have a name, or a sign or something? or is it just really obvious?

dom

"where the hel l do i start?"

hi,

hi,

i am heading to mae sai for 6 months starting in a month. i will be working for a border charity helping burmese kids, and one of the things i will be doing is teaching them english. now, heres the thing......

i speak no thai (will start asap on the basics), and they speak no english.

they dont know the roman alphabet

they range in age from 6-16 and i will be teaching them all at the same time.

!!!

so: any advice on teaching the alphabet/absolute beginners would be great.

and any advice on phrases/language essential to me to learn would also help. i am tefl qualified, but havent actually taught since i did the course....

thanks so much in advance,

dom

1. oh god so many questions.... how long will it take?

2. which is the best isp?

3. is there broadband up there?

cheers, dom

1. accommodation. any ideas?!

2. internet access. i would like to sort this out for wherever i will be staying. any tips for what works/what doesnt, and prices?

3. things to do. having been i am aware of mae sais incomparable beauty and wild nightlife, but any info would be really useful.
