What is Phuket like to teach in?  Is is a good place for a single female in her thirties to live???

Hi well you and 5 million other people who want a job there are competing for jobs!

By teaching I'm assuming TEFL, if a properly qualified school teacher then go for it. TEFL is starvation wages in Phuket! although if female and white better chance of better job as some employers don't want sexpats.

Of course all of Asia suffers from what one female teacher described to me as "the asian pu33y syndrome" lol. If you are straight you will remain single! Permanently. Of course that might be attractive to some - I certainly enjoy singledom post 35 - but as one mid 30's friend found out don't take your new new bf to Phuket. He run off with a bar gal after a week. I pity the bg personally but she wasn't happy..... such is Asia!
