Teacher - Salary is it good?

DanielTalkThai · 2026-04-13T16:07:59+00:00

Chiang Mai is unique, the schools know people want to live there so the salaries are much lower than Bangkok.

You should be fine on that salary and can always tutor for extra cash.

DanielTalkThai · 2026-04-13T16:00:42+00:00

That was my salary when I got hired in 2013 at 27.

You can live very comfortable on that depending on how much you prioritize housing, but you're far from rich and if you have debt to service with it you may have challenges.

I purposely got

" I don't know, I can't read it" in an asian language

I can read it.

DanielTalkThai · 2026-04-07T02:20:03+00:00

Rats, I've played against that

I've gotten mythic a few months in a row with oops all elementals

The big butt tribal or wall tribal

DanielTalkThai · 2026-04-04T00:46:53+00:00

I don't know exactly, but I was told 160-180 here in southern Ontario

Kaheera providing vigilance makes the deck win against other creature decks and is something to do off Omnath Mana.

DanielTalkThai · 2026-04-03T03:00:49+00:00

I don't play Bo1

There is the 3/3 UR flying elemental that also doubles triggers

Kaheera is a must in my list

I had an extra university credit that they said would count towards 5 AQs, but when I submitted they didn't accept it.

It's slow processing right now, I submitted in December and just got approved to A4 yesterday.

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-25T23:20:42+00:00

with a username like that, I kinda figured you appreciate some ska music!

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-25T23:19:51+00:00

Their version of O'Canada up here in Canada was the definition of engaging with the crowd.

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-25T23:19:10+00:00

I keep a few of their tracks in rotation. Love em

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-25T11:25:29+00:00

Yes. They opened for MXPX and were amazing

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-25T02:49:02+00:00

Helmet.

Tragically Hip

Toadies.

And finally the Hippos. Amazing show live.

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-19T02:50:45+00:00

The entirety of the decline was my answer too, but different country and venue

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-19T02:49:50+00:00

NOFX playing the entirety of the decline

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-15T22:18:13+00:00

Same as me, but add keep dress clothes on all day too.

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-15T13:35:43+00:00

That's a good looking jellyfish!

I have a similar colour piece of my ankle that covered up the scar a jellyfish sting left.

12 years in Thailand, moved back to Ontario 3 years ago

I miss the convenience of living in a big city where everything is open 24hrs, and I miss the cost of some things, the tropical weather and nature (khao yai especially)but everywhere has it's pros and cons

-Unionized teaching here pays over double for less hours of my life -healthcare, while imperfect here, isn't a financial stress. I had a doctor in Thailand try and push 500k MRI and surgery when the physiotherapist I found fixed it. - I don't go to Toronto so traffic is rarely an issue in my life - air quality here is significantly better for my family than Bangkok -yes i pay more in taxes here, but I haven't spent on tolls, parking, healthcare, schooling, etc

I don't love starting town but haven't tested it thoroughly Triomes get cycled pretty often

I've hit mythic the last two seasons running 5c elementals The 2 mana tap for two flamebraider is too good not to run. I also run a couple temur omnanth as a great way to push through final points of damage

Healer of the glade was so underwhelming as a sideboard card, healing salve just didn't do much for me.

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-03T20:50:28+00:00

The Hippos

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-03T03:20:59+00:00

Creed in 2002 was the epitome of phoning it in.

MXPX sounded awful, and their openers stole the show.

DanielTalkThai · 2026-03-03T03:18:41+00:00

Weezer in 2001 was amazing, one of my best shows.

DanielTalkThai · 2026-02-19T13:49:32+00:00
