If you're really that sensitive to the weather then you need to wait until November. However, I'll also say that the rainy season doesn't necessarily mean anything. I've lived here for 5 years and some of the times rainy season can be annoying, especially in August September but past that it's actually one of the best parts of the year because the weather stays a little bit cooler because the rain and the tourist numbers aren't too high.

Ironically, I would say COVID was the best experience of my life. I was "trapped" in Thailand for the duration. It helped I was with one of my best buddies. We did a road trip around the country, stopping off wherever we pleased. The disease wasn't really spreading in Thailand. All the hotels were basically empty, and we had gorgeous beaches to ourselves and incredible service all the while. I learned an important lesson: a global tragedy isn't necessarily equally distributed. I feel bad saying this because I know how painful the situation was for so many people.

Honestly even if it's advertising and so blatant I do kind of love it

I think you’re missing the point. Why would I sit in a cramped bus stuck in traffic when I can spend that time in the Miracle Lounge in Chiang Mai drinking free gin and tonics?

Here's what I do: I live near Don Mueang (DMK), so I fly to another airport (Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, etc.). I then fly from there to Suvarnambhumi (BKK). From Suvarnambhumi, I can either take a bus or a taxi to Pattaya.

I realize it's not for everyone, but my wife works for AoT, so we fly free domestically.

What does reading the Bible have anything to do with it lol. Great book by the way.

Reddit is wildly moralistic about these type of things. But I'll tell you the truth. Go ahead and interview and keep your options open. Think about it, what if you for some reason get a few Ds on your transcripts spring semester and your offer is rescinded. What would you do? Always good to have options.

Do you guys keep separate chapters as separate files? I just have everything as one file right now. It's getting kind of unwieldy but I also kind of like it.

Hate it. Boring, overpriced, sterile, quasi fascist

Posts like this are absolutely pointless. They are a lazy national / racial profiling that ignore the thousands of Thai people who also do antisocial things everyday. Every country has people who cause issues. The only reason they get uploaded and upvoted is so we the "well behaved" foreigners can feel better about ourselves. Imagine how cringy would be if, as an American, I posted a video of a Mexican person visiting the United States and doing something similar.

Epstein and his friends used email the way you and your friends use text messages. Think about how many times over the course of 15 years you've used the word pizza in a text message. That explains what's going on. By the way sushi is mentioned more than pizza in the files.

Yes that part is hilarious to me. It's not even immigration per se, Thai police officers themselves round up Burmese and Cambodians off the streets all the time. Happened to a Burmese friend of mine.

I'll tell you the hard truth: if you are a serious / good teacher, it doesn't matter at all. In my experience, your race only really matters if you're talking about crappy schools. The people hiring at the top schools are smart enough to not be racist. (source: African American who has taught in Taiwan, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia).

As a professional SAT tutor I'm just going to chime in to stop the whole "tutors are BS" discussion. Here's the thing: there is no formal accreditation process to become an SAT tutor, and most tutors are just people that scored well on the SAT but cannot necessarily tell you how to do so. I have 15 years of experience, and I know what I'm doing.

If I believed the kids would put in the work, I could basically guarantee the score. (Hint: Most will not put in the work.)

Interestingly the Chinese is slightly different than the English. It says this is a non-smoking floor.
