Accommodation during
teaching at school
We aim to provide our teachers with the best possible
accommodations. As we deal with various schools at various
locations at different times, it is impossible to have
accommodations pre-arranged for all sites all the year round.
Therefore, exact information regarding specifics on accommodations
may not be available until a later date. Exact information for
some schools/cities may be available earlier than others.
Accommodations in Thailand and throughout SE Asia are generally
smaller and have fewer amenities than do Western style
accommodations. Most of the schools we work with are in smaller or
more remote areas of Thailand and thus do not have accommodations
that are up to Western standards. *If you require (cannot live
without) Western style amenities (A/C, fridge, TV, DVD, kitchen,
washing machine, etc.), you will most likely not be happy working
with us. However majority of the accommodations in the past have
had A/C*.
Laundry is easily and inexpensively done by many local ladies (300
- 500 baht/month) or at small coin-operated shops. There are
internet cafes everywhere and are usually very cheap. Restaurants
and street vendors are everywhere and usually very inexpensive.
TV’s and DVD players can be purchased for a reasonable price, but
there are many other things to do in Thailand other than watch TV
and movies.
Accommodations that are arranged by the schools will be provided
free of charge throughout the teaching contract. Teachers
accepting arranged accommodations must agree to remain in arranged
accommodations or may be liable to be charged the security deposit
which the school will incur as a result.
Most arranged accommodations will be apartments with en suite
bathrooms. Some accommodations for some schools/cities will be
shared houses with separate bedrooms for each teacher.
Accommodations will vary from school to school and city to city.
All accommodations are scouted and chosen based on location of the
school, amenities provided, cleanliness, comfort, and budget. Some
accommodations are provided and/or arranged by the individual
schools.
All accommodations will include basic amenities such as a bed, fan
(if no A/C), dresser, and closet or a clothes rack.
Some accommodations may include extras such as A/C, fridge, TV,
table, balcony (most apartments have balconies), etc.
Accommodations do not include kitchens or cooking utensils as most
apartments in Thailand do not have kitchens.
Monthly electric, water, and phone bills will be the
responsibility of the teacher. Average water bills per month are
50-150 baht. Landline phones generally cost 5 baht/minute.
Electricity is generally between 5-7 baht per unit which equates
to anywhere between 500-2500 baht/month depending on the use of
A/C and/or fan, fridge, lights and other electrical equipment.
All accommodation needs a deposit for 1-2 months which is
refundable after teacher leave the place. Some schools cover this
deposit and deduct the same from the salary while others may ask
the teacher to pay for this. This deposit varies from 8000 THB to
15000 THB for 1 to 2 months. Please come prepared.
