Extremely rare, no, but it might be hard to secure a job beforehand as the online world works very differently here - many outdated sites and old information, which can be frustrating. Your best bet is to have a good search and try and network - join Facebook groups like Chiang Mai Digital Nomads or other expat groups, and ask around for info.<br /><br />With your background you should find some good work in Bangkok. Chiang Mai is a little different but it still a very creative city, and it's developing fast, so there might be some opportunities to get involved in. If all else fails, you could work for my magazine! (Look them up, Chiang Mai Citylife Magazine)<br /><br />Yes, if you and your wife both taught at decent schools you would be all right supporting your family. You could also probably both aim a little higher because of your age and experience - seek out the international schools, you might get lucky! And that would be a very good way to get settled and find a better job. There are also very good international schools for your kids to attend.<br /><br />Any more questions, please feel free to ask! =)Adrian Fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704164180372071432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139603926648634902.post-55932770087217568382014-05-12T22:06:33.062+07:002014-05-12T22:06:33.062+07:00Hi there Adrian.

I see you went over (as many do) to teach, and now work for a magazine. Is this something that is possible, or is it extremely rare fro a farang to get such work over there? I am an award-winning art director/designer with years of experience and when I saw what you did, it just made me wonder. Also, if my wife and I were to come over there and teach, would our salaries be sufficient to support ourselves and our two kids. Just keen to find out from a fellow Saffa living thereAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261038396239058579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139603926648634902.post-58584644139226288432013-12-09T08:27:50.770+07:002013-12-09T08:27:50.770+07:00Wow, Adrian, you have come a long way since this p...Wow, Adrian, you have come a long way since this post.
