The dark art of salary negotiation in Thai schools
Smile, wai, and ask for 5,000 baht more - what could go wrong?
Most foreign teachers in Thailand don’t negotiate because they either don’t know they can, or they’re afraid of rocking the boat. And schools count on that. But those who do ask - politely, calmly, and with a solid case - sometimes get a little more.
Stick or twist?
Decisions, decisions, decisions
Like many other teachers I now find myself in the position where I need to make a decision about what I will do next academic year. Do I stay put? Or is it time to move on to pastures new?
