I love Thailand and can't spend enough time there. I'd absolutely hate to work there though, better to build wealth/assets in a richer country and coast by on Thailand's extremely low cost of living

Agree, although I think that there are a lot of misconceptions about working in Thailand. My salaries here have generally been similar to back home, and the costs are way lower so I’ve actually banked a lot more here than I would have back home.

Had a great few years in Bangkok working in recruitment. However, it was the very high cost of high school education that brought us home.

@thebangkokguide Ай бұрын

This is the most common reason friends of mine have left as well. The international schools are pricey!

I worked nonstop for a while and now i can live off of growing investments in Thailand. The long term barrier is business/work visa. I could defer to teaching bjj/judo in a smaller province but im interested in developing new skills with the time while i study the language. Are you planning on making videos of what businesses other expats have started ?

@thebangkokguide Ай бұрын

Yeah, I plan to cover this as well! The visa situation is a challenge. The education visa is a decent option…just need to make sure that the school is legit! Cheers

Teaching experience gained in Thailand is worthless in other countries. They don't give a damn unless you have certificates to show. I have 15 years of teaching experience in total however because none of that was legal it means nothing. However I have the skills and could totally manage the hell of out of a class. I also speak a second language.

@thebangkokguide Ай бұрын

Unfortunately this is true. I’ve met quite a few people who are in this situation, and the private schools here can be pretty ruthless when it comes to ageism as well. Can make for a tough career path.

It depends on your education, experience and skills. There are plenty of good professional jobs but the job market is competitive!

Data scientist might be a bit more difficult as there are more Thai people that can do this job. I would recommend taking a look on indeed.com

The weather in Canada is cool and the air is nice and clean. It’s better than Thailand, isn’t it? If I were you, I would live in Canada

I call bullshit on your international school salary. I have a friend who does recruitment in BKK. Nowhere near 100k bro...... 60K baht max.

@thebangkokguide Ай бұрын

I work at an international school… pay at almost every international school is over 100k. Top tier is closer to 160k. any international school paying 60k is a private school masquerading as an international school.
