Q1. Where did you move to and when?

I moved to South Korea a month ago to work for the EPIK program.

Q2. How long did you work in Thailand?

I worked for 3 wonderful years in Thailand!

Q3. What was your main reason for moving?

Even though I loved Thailand I wanted to try living and working in a new country and of course the huge pay increase was very tempting!

Q4. What are the advantages of working where you are now compared to Thailand?

I live in Seoul so getting around is so easy and it's very hi-tech. The pay is almost double what I earned in Thailand.

Q5. What do you miss about life in Thailand?

I miss everything about Thailand but in particularl the 'mae pen lai' attiude. Koreans are a much more serious people and you have to be early to be on time. I miss the Thai people, the weather and the beaches! Also Thailand's sense of vibrant fun.

Q6. Would you advise a new teacher to seek work in Thailand or where you are now?

Yes, definitely! I think Thailand is a wonderful place to work! The lifestyle is great and all the long weekends make for lots of fun. The children are adorable too! I really think it's a great place to start teaching :)

Q7. Any plans to return to Thailand one day?

Yes! I want to return to teach after this year in South Korea. I really didn't think I'd miss Thailand so much!

Q8. Anything else you'd like to add?

As a British girl I think I have a slightly different and more positive viewpoint on Thailand than some of the previous commentators. I think if you're a girl especially, Thailand is a wonderful place to work and the kindness of the Thai people will stay with you for a long time after you leave! You only get out of the experience the amount of time and effort you put in!
