They look within Thailand first. They that doesn't mean it will never happen, it means it's unlikely to happen unless the schools cannot find anybody currently in Thailand. As of right now, there are many foreign teachers in Thailand so it is very ... Read More

Most schools in Thailand require a teaching license from Kurusapha or at least a temporary teaching permit. You probably don't have either. Also, when these schools look to fill positions they look for teachers already in Thailand with experience ... Read More

Financial criteria for retired couple to obtain a visa by kelley21063
Can someone explain the financial criteria for retired couples to obtain a visa? I get the part about having 800,000 in the bank but have a monthly income of 65,000. Is 65,000 per couple or each?
One of the most laid back, take it easy places with things to do would be Cha-am Beach. It's about 20 km north of Hua Hin, so it isn't that far to go down for more excitement. There is also a Cha-am town more inland off the gulf coast. That is a lot ... Read More

It depends on your lifestyle. I would say a good condo would be about 8k to 18k a month. The food in supermarkets or home shops would be 4k to 12k a month. All utilities another 3k to 6k. So, the base living is about 15k THB per month. In matter of ... Read More
