Can someone tell me where I can get a secured credit card here in Thailand? Krung Thai bank says I must wait until I have had a work permit for 2 years before I can get a standard C.C.. I need to get one now to use online. I don't need a large limit, just enough to order a few books using Paypal or something. Thanks for the help!

Hi, I just wanted to give another example to what's available here. I live about 2 hours north of Bangkok, and teach in a private school here. I make 25,000 bt a month, and have a 12 month contract. This is my first year with this school. I will make 30k next year. I also make anywhere from 5-12,000 extra a month during vacation time. I teach small 1-2 month classes in English, while the kids are on break. That is only an extra 20-30,000 bt a year, but it adds up.

I don't have a degree, but I do have a TEFL cert. from ITTT. They seemed to be most interested in that. But please understand, that I am married, and my wife makes about 26,000 bt a month also, so this average wage is fine for us.

Bangkok pays better, and the only real major expense difference is housing. Our house payment is about about 1/3 of what it costs to rent a house in BKK. But life in a small village is peaceful, and I am only a 2 hour drive from all the hooplah. Hope this helps.
