30,000 baht enough?

[somtamslap]

Just don't blow all your savings in the first 6 months on Jeffs, that's all..

[crazy dog]

As far as the teaching is concerned I thought to be legal you need a degree to work in any School teaching English and also need a work permit, thats why I have never done it.

Yeah, right...

You sound like you are working illegally.

[kingwilly]

willing to work hard but we had enough of working 15 hours a day. We will have quite a bit of money to bring with us when we have sold on this side, I would say close to 6.5m baht.

nothing like eating into your savings as a good plan...

I looked around on the internet and by the looks it looks like the average salary for English teachers are about 30 000 baht a month. Is that enough to live on for two people for the time being untill a second income is coming? And what oppertunities are there for a man of 53 work wise in Thailand except for teaching?

If your thinking of earning a living as an English teacher I would have some spelling lessons before hand ( oppertunities ) ???????????????

[john1000]

I am 50 odd and considering TEFL teaching to supplement pension but is tefl enough to secure 30k?? salary.

Sorry mate, internet plomplem, no I don't live in sakon,so I don't know Scot.

[lost the plot]

Over the next few months, made private contracts for weekend work, after nine months now on 50,000 a month.

For the last 3 months, made more contacts thru word and mouth with the others, final total 58,000 a month, we lived well.

All the parents were thai/chin, money was no problem.

BTW I charged 900 baht an hour.

Regards.

dont say that too loudly, Accidental Alcoholic's original love affair with me began because I had stated that teachers privately tutoring could ask for 1000 baht an hour.,

he said it was 100% impossible.

Easily done with the right well healed thai/chin people, I swear I could have said 1500 an hour, and they would have said ok!

[forreachingme]

You have some savings, the job will help for the visa, what is a major issue if you do not have a thai legally bound partner...

[thrilled]

I've been hearing that it's more like A million baht A year to live fairly comfortable in thailand.I imagine cause of the money farangs are spending

[Adolf]

30K a month for 2 people!

that would be 15K each per month - pretty grim!

[detroitdave]

I live in a nice 3 Bedroom 2 bath house in a nice Moo Ban and close in as anyone that has visited me can verify. And here I pay 4K, In Chiang Mai

I just booked my ticket to Thailand and am looking for a place in Chiang Mai for 4-5 months December-April, possibly longer. Any recommendations/tips/sites to check out? I'm a writer, just need a simple one bedroom with internet access

I realize this is my first post - I just found this forum, easy on the newbie, ok?
