What has surprised you most about teaching in Thailand?
I’ve been in Thailand for a few months now teaching English at a government high school, and while I did some research beforehand, I’ve still been hit with a lot of surprises - both good and frustrating. For one, the students are way more respectful and fun-loving than I expected. I’ve had kids wai me every morning and bring me snacks from the canteen. On the flip side, the organization (or lack thereof) at the school is something else. I’ve had schedule changes without warning, and sometimes I don’t find out about school-wide events until the morning of.
Curious to hear from others - whether you’re in Bangkok, the sticks, or somewhere in between:
