From Bangkok to the boonies

Teaching in big cities v teaching in rural Thailand

It wasn’t until I found myself in a quiet provincial town where the local 7-Eleven was the only air-conditioned hangout, that I realised teaching in Thailand could be an entirely different experience.


Is it worth moving out of Bangkok?

People often cite the lower cost of living, better quality of life and a more Thai-style existence as reasons to be based outside the capital.

I’ve done a little research and come up with some example salaries in different regions in Thailand. Whilst this isn’t an exact science it should give a good guide of potential earnings
