Hi,I am totally new here, this is in fact my post numero uno. Just thinking of moving to asia in maybe a year or so( earlier if I can) and wondering if I can get realistic assessment. I have a B.Ed (hons) with no form of tefl cert but I have 12 years teaching experience, nine of which in ESL in sweden. I have of course been thinking about Korea but have woulod much rather be in SEA. (I love Cambodia but Vietnam is probably the most realistic option) I need to be able to send home 600 dollars a month, is it possible in Vietnam?????
btw, Irealise you all mean Thailand when you write LOS, but what does LOS stand for??

LOS = Land of Smiles 
Sending home $600 per month from SE Asia will be a challenge.
I'll let the Vietnam vets handle that particular question,
but you should probably forget Thailand for now.
PS: If you look at the top right-hand corner of your post
you'll see the word edit. If you click on that, you can
go back to your original post and make changes.

| Thanks, "land of smiles!" should have been able to work that out. I have actually already ruled out Thailalnd because of the low wages and am more focused towards maybe being able to earn about 1500 or 1600 dollars a month. We will see as you say what the veterans from Viet say, thanks again. |

I could do it from Malaysia. I don't want to, but I could. Malaysia is so underrated that it doesn't even have its own forum. |

Hey,
I think 600$ is quite doable in Vietnam. Naturally it depends on what you make and spend..but on average you should be making 1300-1700 a month and you can easily live on $500...these are roughly the figures I live by right now. Remember sending money out of Nam is a pain in the ass and you should research the best way for you to do this, depending on your situation. |
