Bangkok Podcast 36: Finding a job in Bangkok

On this episode, Tony and Greg discuss the ins and outs of
finding a job in Thailand. A lot of people - after a vacation
full of fun and frivolity - think that moving to Thailand will be
a sure way to leave the rat race and live a life of blissful
utopia. However, while working in Thailand is still (in our
opinion) an infinitely better and more interesting experience
than working at home, the truth of the matter that working here
is not the endless party many want it to be. 


Office politics, rush hour, overdue bills and looming deadlines
are inescapable truths to any job, and Thailand is no different.
On top of that, there are things such as work permits and the
lack of social safety nets to consider. Tony and Greg talk a bit
about this, as well as the best places and methods to find jobs
here, including a discussion on the most popular route into the
Thai workforce - teaching English.


Tony also tells us about his recent illness, and Greg recounts
the horrifying day in High School he had to be sent home because
of chicken pox.
