Who fancies escaping the UK?

[Visitor Q]

So, it seems the canadian bloke intending to come to my school bailed on account of having a vagina. So they are one teacher down (infact they're a lot of teachers down).

If you can start now, have a degree, and have ~1k saved/you can borrow then you can come join me.

23 hours a week 'work' (playing games with kids who'll worship you). Internet is 20p p/hour on a sliding scale (ie 30p for 2 hours), a big meal from the street cafes/cafeteria is 60p, bottles of Red Bull 20p.

Our accomodation has aircon, flushing toilets and quite decent internet included (if you bring a laptop - and don't let it get nicked ), and the owner is an absolute pisshead who will force feed you whisky/chang

Pay is 700 quid a month (32,000 Baht), accomodation is already paid, so barely have any deductions after (maybe 20-50quid) and no tax unless you come back next semester. Only 4 month contract to start with.

ONLY negative is it is absolutely bastard hot here at the moment, but they seem totally at peace with you sweating your balls off near them Plus this school is /very/ relaxed about uniform compared to others.

Just floating this out, as there are a lot of bored graduates out there, and they are /desperate/ for teachers Long as your accent isn't ridiculously bad, you're ok. Although black people may struggle.

If you ever need resolve, have a few chav girls on facebook. Who will occasionally post such gems as this (obviously from a 'heavy' party )

I'm still bloody tempted though...

It's not /all/ rosy. For a start, you'll be stuck living and working with me

Classrooms are ghetto to say the least, and only have ceiling fans. And you can't touch the kids

Other then that, near to Laos, good for pretty much everything. I feel I got bloody lucky after hearing what a lot of friends are stuck with.

Also, due to the red shirts they are generally down a lot of teachers all over Thailand. Trouble is only in Bangkok, and even then if you have a brain you'll barely even see a barricade.

So, if you miss the slot at /my/ school, there are plenty of other schools going. Just I can't vouch they won't be anal about uniform, that you'll have aircon or a flushing toilet.

Bumguns rock though

I'm at Thatnarrai school, Sakkonnakkon. And if you don't know me, I'm Richard.

I'm not getting a cut, but I want some more company

Don't forget to sort out your visa before you go anywhere.

[ncrn]

I don't graduate until next year but really really want to do something like this. What agency did you go through? (if you went with one) and how much does it cost to get out there?

If you get stuck for lesson plans, just join Daves Cafe online, they have loads and loads of ideas / lesson plans and swap tips and everything. You might even find some people nearby via the site.

I had English First contact me and offer me work in Sulawesi, but I have decided to stick it out and wait for this CC job to start.

My mate Nathan is over in China doing this, set off months back and just extended his thing for about a year, loves it. He was in SA before, and reckons he'll live in China for a bit, just come back here for holiday's.

He did almost get sacked apparently, for calling a kid a "bastard" (app tis English equiv of 'cunt'?)

Yes Itchy. Yes they are. They're terrible. The fact EVERY experienced teacher over here recommends them to encourage STT is obviously all a scam.

Get over yourself lad. The alternative is play games with them for an hour, literally.

As for bum guns, most toilets here have a tiny shower head on a hose attached to the side. Minty fresh after every crap

GR, I'm 5 minutes away from Sakkonnakkon, which has night clubs Went out for a few drinks in a quiet bar, and had a thai singer on who had so much work she looked like Janet Jackson. But the waitresses were clamouring about, and they were all cute The teacher I've been drinking with, who owns the accommodation, has already had girls ask for my number off him. Nice girls too

In short, this is a very good area to be. Only danger is accidentally fucking one of your students of a weekend, as I'm a bit /too/ close to the clubs.

Ok, so 20 minutes to write two sheets (one for each year), 5 minutes to photocopy (100+50 copies - 1 pound)... All 4 lessons today were a piece of piss, the students were interested and fully took part (writing and speaking), and I got applause at the end of one.

So yes Itchy, fuck my face.
