Winning over Thai admin staff

Postbox letter from Steve

Starting as a foreign English teacher in Thailand can be both exciting but dealing with school admin staff can be a challenge if you don’t approach it the right way. The key? Be patient, be polite, and never underestimate the power of a smile.


The Bitterness of Thai Schools

Postbox letter from Foxy Stoat

I've come to notice that a lot of Thai schools have some rather bitter and twisted rules in the small print of their employment contracts. Now, nobody is forced to sign such contracts, but for those with families and assets here, it might be case of 'having to'.


Problems that foreign teachers face here

Postbox letter from Josh

It just seems to me that the problems teachers face always come down to common narratives.


Recruitment season

To find the 'right' teacher, you first need to know what the 'right teacher' means.

If you're a school looking for a teacher, or a teacher looking for a school, there is someone out there for you. But if you're looking for more than a one-night stand, find the one you feel you can comfortably talk to.
