Work In Chiang Mai

[RichieWhite]

Are there any good websites/forums apart from ThaiVisa that are good for job searching in the Chiang Mai area?

Thanks,

R

[rishi]

No.

And I wouldn't call ThaiVisa any good, in this respect, neither --- nothing to see here, just move on to the next click in your Google list - (most of the honored members on this board are retirees and thus have no clues on job-seeking and such), --- but might chime in regardless.

ajarn dot com has teaching jobs. This is a good time to get a positions as some of the schools hire in october, after the break.

BTW, welcome to Thaivisa. Not all members are quite as pompous sounding as the above member...

On second thoughts, most of them are!

[RichieWhite]

Thanks for the advice Dan Sai Kid. Yeah the old dinosaur above feels the need to pull rank on his 'senior member' status. I guess when you are a retiree theres not much else to do. I speak Thai fluently can read and write and have been managing Villas in Samui. I'm wanting to head up north as my girl wants to be closer to her native Mae Hong Son after finishing Uni. I'll have a look at that ajarn site maybe to get a foot in the door take a teaching job and take it from there.

Thanks again

To the old guy.... grow up. If you don't have anything helpful to say, save your arthiritc fingers for better uses.

Just to set you off on the right footing on Thaivisa you might want to re-read the rules you signed up to when you joined - especially:

Excessive, aggressive posts against other members, moderators and admin; or flaming will not be tolerated. 'Flaming' is best defined as posting or responding to a message in a way clearly intended to incite useless arguments, rants, and/or for launching personal attacks, insulting, being hateful, useless criticism, name calling, swearing and other bad behavior or comments meant to incite anger.

My apologies - I had forgotten the good old old saying: "If you can't make it anyways - you can always become an English teacher" - No offense meant to English teachers as such --- just a punch at those who never thought of being an English teacher until someone else mentioned that as a solution to "How can I possibly stay in Thailand with my girlfriend , which I can't afford to bring back to my homecountry" --- or something similar.

Hope your not a typical example of what retiring in CM does to a man....you sound bored , bitter and twisted.

Give the guy a chance

[PeaceBlondie]

Not all Chiang Mai retired expat ThaiVisa farang posters are bored, bitter and twisted. This town is chockablock full of fairly well qualified native speakers who drive down the wages for English teachers here. The OP has not in this thread mentioned his qualifications. Native speaking country? University degree? Teaching experience? TEFL training? Good interview presentation, knowledge of English, skilled in working with Thais who behave like Thai English students?

Well said HoT.

You're best bet Richie is to not put your eggs in one basket and hit the ground running and see what comes up when you get out here.

Don't expect the streets to paved with gold though...

[ThaiPauly]

Mae Hon Son is quite a trek from CM.

Have you tried looking for anything there?

I'm told its a nice place....but I could be and often am wrong

[Bill97]

TP, you are very right on this one.

Mae Hong Song is quite a nice place.

I have also heard recently that there are opportunities there so it should be worth going up and checking it out.
