Hey all

Does anyone know anything about the Sarasas Witaed Bangbon school in Bangkok? I've been offered a position there---35,000b a month, accomodation, insurance, airfare, six weeks paid vacation---this sort of fell into my lap--I'm qualified and everything with a BA and a TEFL and experience but the cynic in me is trying to find the catch...

Also any general advice about life in Bangkok?

Thanks!

Amanda

Hello Amanda & JoeB !


Apparently, the Thai School Watch Forum has just recently

changed over to a 'registered members only' website.


Here's the main link to their homepage:

http://www.thaischoolwatch.com/


I'm afraid I don't have too much in the way of first-hand info for you,

although it seems that the branch you mentioned above

advertises frequently for new teachers.


This could be the result of:


A) rapid expansion leading to the need to hire additional teachers

or

B) a sign of problems, resulting in teachers bailing out early


My best advice ?


Talk to some current teachers at the branch in question, if that's possible to arrange.

If that's not possible, approach with caution, but don't be too paranoid. Wink

None of the large chain schools in Thailand is 100% squeeky-clean !

In plain English: if you look for you'll probably find it.

There has been a number of time when that school has seen this forum - as well as the Entire Sarasas chain...

My advice: avoid it. They have a turnover faster than McDonalds... and that should raise flags right away.

There was one guy from Boston there before - he lasted all but a week.
