Where are you and why?
My husband and I have been esl teachers in the public school system in Japan for 6 years and we need a break from Japan.
I was wondering where people are, why they are there and if they work through public, private or business.....
I am moreso interested in hearing from people NOT in Bangkok as I have no interest in living thereSorry... as well as couples if there are any.
We have lived briefly in Thailand on a 'vacation' for 3 months. We stayed in Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Bangkok and Pattaya. (yes yes Pattaya, which we actually really liked but not for the reasons your thinking)
Looking at making a move to Thailand next school year so am sourcing where may be best to go.
Thanks for any and all
We're in Ratchaburi; going on 10 years. Why? It's a great place (we're in a small Amphur [Ban Pong]) and it's where I first came for work. It's slightly west of the center of Thailand and that makes it easy to go the 4 main points of the compass and all points between.

Yes. Many, many great small amphurs throughout Thailand. I hail from Amphur Rayong as do others here and it is a great place to live & work.Originally Posted by THX 1133
i live in Bangkok so i'll be quiet and not say so, as per the OP's request.
Imodium can't stop me.
I would like to know. Living on Lad Krabang is peaceful when the dogs aren't barking, but I was curious how living downtown would be.
Why not the M.E.? The two of you could bank serious wonga. Do a 2-3 year stint, save 1.5-2 mil baht a year, then got to Thailand and enjoy yourselves.
4 more years!
kingdomcome - no BEd or Masters... Makes it damned near impossible to get anything there.
And I have friends who are there that say it is not a walk in the park. Dont really want to leave a stressful country to go to another. It IS an option but,..... Would prefer TH.
I used to cycle down that way a lot, the river is really nice between Ban Pong and Phottaram.
op, i'm in korea but i'm sure you don't wanna hear about it.

Where do I sign?
Oh, nevermind.
Explain yourself, sir.
the OP's looking for a less stressful place. Korea ain't it. and she already knows that being in Japland.
IMO, Thailand is a good option.
she and MR. Op could both work and live very sabai on two incomes .
check out rayong.
yes indeed
I live in Rangsit which is a sunburb of Bangkok. I live here as I have a lot of friends in the area, enjoy the pace of life and am close enough to Bangkok when I want it. I also enjoy cycling and the countryside in my area makes for a pleasant ride. oh, I also rent a nice big house for 7k. no shoebox apartment for me!
I live in Samut Prakarn, another suburb of Bangkok. The advantages of living in the Samut Prakarn, Pak Naam, Samrong part of the city are.....er.....erm.......no it's gone.
It's an area with the dirtiest pedestrian bridges, the saddest, most neglected flower displays, the lowest council budgets, the greyest, tattiest buildings, the most desperate soi dogs, the biggest litter problem, the seediest hotels, the darkest, skankiest karoake bars and massage parlours, the worst drivers and the most depressing shops.
I'll discuss its bad points in another post.
The worst job in Thailand must be the man who has to sit down with a blue marker pen and mark a number two on the two-baht coins to stop people thinking they are one-baht coins.
