I heard the pay is really low. Then again compared to Korea its gotta be great. Nice beaches great scenery. The temples are much better. In Korea once you've been to one temple you've pretty much seen them all.

So is the pay comparable to Korea? I thought you were looking at a few 100 USD a month tops. In Korea most people start at 1800 USD with housing included.

For some jobs it can get as low as 500$ dollars a month. You have to arrange your own housing too. The climate in Thailand is much better than Korea. Lots of great beaches in Krabbi

$500 a month is pretty good for Thailand. I am really surprised by that number.

I love Krabi! Do you rock climb? Are there any jobs in that area?

Never rock climbed. I'd prefer to just relax on the beach surrounded by great rock formations. I've been to Krabbi quite a few times. Love the beaches.
Good snorkling too like the five islands in one day deal.

Any news about jobs in Thailand?
Anything there for non-native speakers?
