Can I speak English with people in Thailand?
Yes, Thai people have a basic level of English. Some can have detailed conversations and some cannot. The fun of living in Thailand is the challenge of the language barrier. Learning a few choice Thai words will also assist you.
Is there a good network of expats in Bangkok?
Yes, there is always a steady influx of people seeking their Asian work experience. There are plenty of groups and clubs to join and meet up with.
What does it cost to rent a condo/apartment/room in Bangkok?
It can cost as little as 3500 baht (100 USD) p/m for a simple room, 20 sqm with a bathroom. Maybe there won’t be air conditioning at this price. There are always going to be cheaper rooms but with a cheaper room in Bangkok, comes a much lower level of quality or a standard that you might accept. If you can rough it, you’ll pay less. For around 15 000 baht (430 USD) p/m you can rent a relatively new/modern condo in a high rise. These are around 30 to 40 sqm in size but can be readily found. Of course you can pay a lot more depending on where you want to live and the proximity to public transport. For example, a house can be as little as 10000 but it may be far away from what you need. People compensate for this in many ways; buy a motorcycle, share the rent etc.
Will there be a telephone in the accommodation?
Not usually, the mobile telephone is ubiquitous throughout the country. Phones are relatively inexpensive to purchase, as are prepaid phone cards. You just need your passport to register a number. No burners in Thailand.
Will I have access to the Internet?
Yes – at most schools you will have access to free wireless internet. You will have to pay for any internet connection in your apartment.
Does the school pay the airfares?
No, you need to get here.
Am I expected to contribute to the school in other ways?
Extra skills in sport, music, visual art, drama or other cultural and sporting activities are regarded as an advantage to your appointment at the school.
What are the basic prices/cost of living in Bangkok?
The following are reliable guides to your spending and decision making in Bangkok.
Is going out and socializing expensive?
Like anywhere, depends on how much you drink, what you drink and what standards you are willing to put up with. A night out with friends, 4 to 6 drinks in an English style pub can be 1000 baht (30 USD). Do the same in your condo for half or less.
How easy is it to get out of Bangkok on weekends and holidays?
It’s very easy. Transport is cheap and plenty. 2 to 6 hours on a bus will have you sitting on some of the world’s nicest beaches. A trip to Koh Samet can be 3 to 4 hours at 250 baht (7 USD). The ferry to the island is 60 baht (2 USD) and a Sorng Teaw taxi to your accommodation might be 100 baht (3 USD).
Is accommodation expensive when I visit places in Thailand?
No, a room can cost as little as 300 baht (8 USD) up to… a lot per night depending on your tolerance levels.
How can I get around in Bangkok if I don’t have a car or a motorbike?
Transport in Bangkok is cheap but sometimes not easy. Traffic is the biggest headache, not the price.
40 baht (1 USD) is all it will cost for a simple basic Thai street meal.
No, ask for whatever ‘Mai pet’ means not spicy.
