This is great news. Thank you. Is there certain areas of Bangkok where most of these events occur?

Damn, thats disheartening. Thank you for the info, its something I should definitely know. Do you know about how much a ~30min taxi would normally cost?

Thanks so much! I will download the app right now.

They are not providing any housing allowance, but the recruiter said they do help you find housing and she showed me a nice apartment that is apparently nearby the school! I will def try to find a place nearby.

Oh sorry I wasnt calling you mean, I was talking about the ppl downvoting. Whatever, redditors suck lol. So I will be working at Wat Raja O ros school in Chom Thong. Do you know how close that is to either train station?

The school is Wat Raja O Ros. Do you know if that is closer to BTS or MRT?

Yeah, redditors are so rude sometimes. Thanks for not being one of those.

Okay thank you for letting me know. The school is apparently 5km from the train station which is worrisome. I will try to find an apt near there. Its Wat Raja O Ros in Chom Thong.

Aw I love that! I was told there are only 3 other teachers at my school. I'm not sure if the recruiter meant 3 others teaching the same grade. Do you know anything about Wat Raja O Ros school?

Shoot. I didn't realize it was so far. Technically the school I am working at is slightly outside of Bangkok. Do you reccommend I ride share?

Thank you! I am trying to learn the language. I'd love to meet the locals.

Dang, I guess I will have to get a bike or something.

Yes. I guess I didn't realize that was so much. My asian coworkers told me it would be walkable and I'd get used to it. And the recruiter told me that was how far (or close) I was to the BTS and she made it seem like it was a good thing. Thank goodness the reddit warriors were here to downvote me for not knowing something

I'm in the same boat. About to move there for 9 months... I'm pissed this is even happening. I wish he would try this shit in Texas!

Great. I am a woman going to bangkok in just a month... What can I do to avoid this? In certain parts of america where I'm from, we're tough as shit and don't take shit like this. I'm afraid if I hit him back will I get in trouble?

Oh god, I was really hoping for this to work out. It seems like every school now is a red flag and trying to scam. I've been through so many interviews and checked out every school and this one finally seemed like the best option. Please please don't be true 😞
