Postbox letter from Chris
I've recently seen some surprising offers coming out of places like Nakhon Si Thammarat, Roi Et, and Phetchabun. We're talking 40–50K salaries, free or subsidized housing and lighter teaching loads.

Postbox letter from David
Rural Thailand isn’t for everyone. It’s quiet, yes. You’ll miss some creature comforts, and you might go a little stir-crazy now and then. But if you want to really live in Thailand - not just pass through it - this is where the magic happens.

People often cite the lower cost of living, better quality of life and a more Thai-style existence as reasons to be based outside the capital.
I’ve done a little research and come up with some example salaries in different regions in Thailand. Whilst this isn’t an exact science it should give a good guide of potential earnings
