Q1. Where did you move to and when?
I moved to Russian Siberia in January this year.
Q2. How long did you work in Thailand?
20 Years
Q3. What was your main reason for moving?
No savings.....
Q4. What are the advantages of working where you are now compared to Thailand?
Am able to save money and students are motivated to learn. Also I have job satisfaction and am appreciated as a teacher.
Q5. What do you miss about life in Thailand?
The food...Can't think of any thing else really.
Q6. Would you advise a new teacher to seek work in Thailand or where you are now?
Yes it is a good place to get experience.....but if you're a serious teacher that's another story! Don't come here if your main objective is saving money.
Q7. Any plans to return to Thailand one day?
Yes....providing I come with money to spend....
Q8. Anything else you'd like to add?
Teaching in Thailand cannot be taken seriously....there are so many backpackers around who want to teach English. Wages are not enough for savings and every day there seems to be added laws to make life harder for us.
