Over Christmas, it will be a repeat of last year. I have 4 days of teaching at school left before the break and then I'd imagine I will be back to working from home again come January if not then by February for sure.

They can't even legalize weed properly, not a chance this goes anywhere.

I have this horrible feeling that what this particular government wants long term is an extremely conservative society where 'going out to drink' is really frowned upon at large. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Jan 15 is pushed back even further.

You are twisting your experiences with what actually happened with this music producer. 1) He asked his daughter to lick his nipples. 2) He had his hand down her bottoms for an extended period of time like it was the most natural thing in the world. Can you honestly say these two things are appropriate from any father in the world? If I saw my wife do either of these things with my sons I would feel physically ill. I have no interest in a people's court but if you are going to share videos with the rest of the world of you casually fondling your daughter then be prepared to face some honest criticism. Hopefully he has learned from this experience because his behaviour is in no way healthy.

I keep hearing November 1st from the media but doesn't seem to be the actual reality on the ground for primary schools unless they have received special permission from the Ministry of Public Health.

In my school, two teachers opted out of taking the vaccine and all staff were informed of this decision. Both members of staff were told when onsite learning resumes only vaccinated teachers will be allowed to teach onsite. I think it's fair enough and I would imagine it will be pushed twice as hard when it comes to foreign teachers. I mean you still have a choice it's up to you and I think it's fair considering all choices in life come with a consequence attached to them. Maybe you can look into online teaching instead?

Thank you for your reply and clarification, really helpful.

Everywhere I look for life insurance I keep coming across life insurance that appears to work more like a very odd savings scheme with a very low interest bonus attached to it, SCB are trying to to sell us a scheme like this at the moment attached to a mortgage and it seems like an obscenely expensive savings plan. Has anyone had a positive experience with a scheme such as this? Does anyone have any experience of purchasing life insurance here that is just paid for like a product on an annual basis? Just for a bit of a context we are in the process of buying a house and if something happens to me I want to make sure that my family is left in good shape and able to continue paying the mortgage etc.

Thank you for the reply, I've been doing a bit of research on both schools since my last post and your post definitely reflects the differences I have discovered between them. NIST in particular seems extremely well paid but a serious workload attached to it.

Exploring the option of trying to work in either of these schools in the next few years, just wanted to ask if anyone has any experience in working at these schools or any other IB school in Bangkok or elsewhere in Thailand? Interested to hear about salary, workload, behaviour of students, general atmosphere at the schools etc.
