    Interviews

    I'm leaving tomorrow for Bangkok and was just thinking of last minute things.Should I bring a full suit for interviews? I'm running out of space in my luggage and apart from (possibly) interviews, I can't see myself wearing this suit much at all (especially since it doesn't fit that well anymore either). I've got a navy blazer and several dress shirts/ties and nice slacks in 3 different colors with dress shoes. Would this suffice for interviews instead of a full suit?

    I got rid of most of my suits before coming to Bangkok and then had to buy a few for important occasions.

    You should have at least one suit, you never know, you might need to go to a wedding somewhere or be a presenter / speaker at your school. It is also good to wear a suit for the more important interviews (even though you might never wear it at work) as it makes you look (more) professional.

    + necktie. You don't know the dress code of the school yet.

    Suit - is it what we yanks call a 'sport jacket' or 'jacket' - isn't necessary for interview.
