The Philippine pay is even lower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyoldman Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Phuket is expensive and unless you have a decent teaching position here, living on a shoestring here doesn't sound like fun to me. Maybe start training in a marketable internet skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Watcher Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 ...and any suggestions for emloyment sites or contacts/ good places to work? Even a responsible agent (?) Crazy - but I wrote (with Resume only) to a few Universities/colleges before I came to Thailand -I got one reply! ("No vacancies") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon Watcher Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks for the info. I work for a "special" school at the moment - they want me to re-sign in June... But the students seemed hypnotized into Not learning.... I would rather use my energy in helping people who want to learn - rather than in tying to keep me awake... (ha,ha) I'm in Bangkok but If no offers arrive by December I will visit then. with ur credentials apply at the international schools, Most places in Asia will not reply to emails. you need go around.
