The teachers that I know around here get a 20,000 baht housing allowance. I know this because the local house & condo renting guy knows this and knows he can charge them 20,000 baht for a 10-15,000 baht property.

Of course, schools in Pattaya and other holiday destinations will probably pay less.

Love the house and appreciate the offer but do you really think I can afford that type of money on my salary. She is presently trying to buddy up with another female teacher and to jointly rent the house and share the costs.

Hope they do
Pleasant on the eye (one might say) and very welcome in this mooban

Are they lezzers?

They'll probably have all the schoolgirls round for nude pool parties.

If you stand on the bog, you might get a better view ! Then you can complain to the estate management committee.

^^teachers I know are from Ruamrudee, ISB and The Regents school. I don't know what other schools pay, but i thought 80,000 was about the minimum for international schools. On the other hand government schools pay 40,000 baht

There's a few international school teachers on here, maybe they can enlighten us more.

I think Loy Toy is talking more about Thai teachers with regards to poor wages though.

Fortunatly or unfortunately I am the estate management committee at this particularly site.

Better set down specific times and when they can conduct such frivolity. Maybe can sell tickets and help me pay my kids school fees

Anyone for advance bookings.

Definatly not at all. Foreign teachers I reconfirm.

My next door neighbour (British) rents one of our houses, he has a farang wife and a one year old daughter.
They have not given him his 15,000.00 Baht housing allowance because his case is still before the school committee (all chinese thai). They argue that he was offered a squalor apartment in the school based teachers accommodation building and should not receive an allowance.

I have heard that the school accommodation is absolutely unlivable and for a farang family.

Quite happy to pay the extra 5,000.00 Baht out of his own pocket yet they still have him waiting and after 8 months.

He also feels he has been brought here on false pretenses and had never agreed to take up the housing option at the school before arriving in Thailand.

Your right again Jandajoy.

My missus is the committee and I'm the gardener.

Busted again

No, me and her together. That constitutes a committee doesn't it

I know a P.E. teacher that came here from the UK to teach.

He gets 100,000 baht a month and has a great time teaching the kids to play soccer, badminton, track and field. etc.

Quite possibly know the same PE teacher. He also won the last Triathalon race held in Pattaya and Koh Chang in the last 6 months.

One may say he is having his time in the sun and good for him.

Better than being a boring maths or science teacher (with all due respect to all you good teachers out there in Cyber Space)

She had dropped some rohypnol in his drink.

"VP" must mean "very prosperous".

Smart girl.

Fleeced the highest paid PE teacher in Thailand.
