Does any one have any experiance of doing something similar? Is Chaing Mai a good place to live and work? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated

Hi all, any Chaing mai locals?

Hi,

I dont have any experience with teaching english in Thailand other then some volunteer work. However ive heard of others doing the same as you. Chiang Mai is a Great! place to live and work. You find anything you need, good hospitals,dental care etc... Great restaraunts for international food, italian,american,indian,french etc.. Also you can live very cheap in chiang mai , if your into thai food and spend as little as 60 baht a day for 3 meals. Depending on where you decide to stay and the quality, apartment prices range from 2000 baht up to 10,000 or even more. However I do know that most of the international schools around have on campus living for teachers and their families.

Hope this helps.

MimiUK/Kirstyx,

I understand that you%26#39;re asking about local folks, but just in case, I%26#39;ll mention this...have you heard about Dave%26#39;s ESL Cafe website? It%26#39;s a great site for ESL teachers. Many teachers exchange their experiences in the forums.

Hi.. MimUk

I%26#39;m a local Chiangmai. Can help you about info you need. As the other comments above said..Chiangmai is the good place to live and work. Many many retired people ( foriegner )have chose Chiangmai to stay . The living cost is not expensive depends on your budget. People are nice.

There are 5 international schools and 2-3 private schools and most of highschool need more English Teacher. There are also a English Institutes,too.

Try to find out where they need.

Hi folks, I would just like to say thank you to all who read and especially those who responded to my post. I will keep watching the forum for any more information and also check out other sources. Thanks all
