That's what I make before taxes, but I think Thailand has a much smaller income tax.
How much taxes do they take off 800 a week?
About 35%. This also includes the benefits though, so it's not bad.
Staffroom? Seriously?
I did wonder that myself. In all honesty this would apply to perhaps one or two Thai kids I have taught over 3 years. The geography point would have some weight in Thailand though; it sure ain't their forte!
I guess we are pretty lucky from a behavior point of view in Thailand. Or perhaps I am just lucky with my students?!
Some of that is your pension fund, no?
Plus you get deductions for each dependent. If you're single your total fed inc tax is about 20%, no?
Plus you file your income tax and get a return, no?
Where then? You could always leave.

It would depend on the school, but in general attitudes towards teachers are better than the West.
Yeah, part of the benefits package is my pension. Last year I was not a teacher, so instead of a return I had to pay :/
It's the opposite here in Thailand, I find the Asian students particularly troublesome.
I loved the vid. Cool.
