Re: Tuk- Tuks like them or not?
I am perfectly comfortable with the tuktuk. There are plenty of shared tuktuk can be uncomfortable here because you have to adjust with multiple people. And that means you have to often have physical contact and poking that may happen. So depending on how comfortable you are with all of that sociali...

Re: How to manage parent's complaints?
It's not easy to listen to complaint. And not all complaints are valid either. So it's the thing that teacher has to set some boundaries. And you can see that some of the rules on what to be allowed to complain for. Because if you don't set out the boundaries then parents will blame every single thi...

Re: Taking Sides in National Rivalries
I think one should never take the side. And you can guess that some of the time this taking side may lead to you getting hurt in some way or the other. Not many locals are going to like foreigners jumping into their local matters. In case of liberal locals, they may too understand it's not going to ...

Re: How to manage parent's complaints?
I think one has to understand the complaints of the parents. Often parents are complaining something genuine. And you have to understand how to convince them in such situations. You can see that each student has different learning curve. I think you can notify the progress of students to their paren...

Re: What did teaching teach you?
The more you teach others, you will learn that there is much more to explore. You can see that kids of every new batch have something new to teach you. They can show you what's changing around you. And this means you have plenty of more to explore. Every year the group of students are going to have ...

Re: Keeping myself safe
When you are a foreigner, it doesn't matter whether you are a male or female. You just have to be among the group if possible. Going solo at night is not much recommended in any place around the world. Clubs often don't have safe people around. So you need to see if you can carry something like pepp...

Re: Are clothes expensive in Thailand?
The thing is that when you go to the street shop. And when the owner realizes that you are a foreigner. Then they are going to raise the price a bit. Also in such case you can see the prices are often inflated in some regions. So you have to find out alternative places. You can try the local e-comme...

Re: Racist Reactions of People Back Home
I think you are right. You just ignore those racist insinuations to avoid trouble with those people. Avoid those racists as much as possible. Don't ever talk back when they insinuate racist comments. It's always better to be safe than sorry. Yes, that's true. Only the issue would be that people com...
