A basic work wardrobe here (not including suit) will cost you about 5000- 6000 baht.
Pants in the 700-1000 baht range.
Shirts in the 250-500 baht range.
Decent shoes about 1000 baht.
Ties anywhere from 50-300 baht each.
You will also need to deal with your housing issues (it won't be provided), food, transportation, printing off your resume a bunch of times and time in an internet cafe. There are phone costs (if you want to find work they need to be able to contact you.)
Bottom line: you will need about US$2-3000 to get settled and get to work, do your visa runs and hold you through the lean times until you get some contacts, networking and semi-steady work.
Might be better to stay in China if the bank roll isn't big enough. |
Thank you for this tttom!! This post was very informative, as have been all your post. You've been very helpful and given me a lot of useful information.
I hope that didn't sound sarcastic at all, it if did, trust me it's not, that's genuine thanks and appreciation. |
