NES teaching salaries seem to have plummeted in Myanmar

[simon43]

Looking to return to teach in Myanmar and I see full-time ESL vacancies for NES that offer 32,000 THB per month, (about the same rates as for Thailand).

2 years ago, the going rate when I was working there was 50 - 60k THB basic, plus OT.

I suppose this is what happens when a country 'opens up' and attracts the tourists - same as the low ESL salaries on offer in Phuket.

BTW, I usually teach more than ESL ==> Primary Homeroom (ESL, Maths, Science, ICT, Citizenship etc). Unfortunately, I do not have QTS, and no chance of acquiring that at my advanced age, so 'real' international schools in Myanmar are out of my reach.

But if anyone has contacts for ESL or Homeroom teaching jobs in Yangon or Mandalay, please drop me a PM
