Re: 5 Thai drinks you must try!
My favorite among the list is Oliang. At first, I don't like the idea of iced coffee. I think it looks so weird, and wondering about the taste. However, upon trying it out, It tastes really good. I suggest everyone to try it out. It tastes really good. But don't consume a lot if you often palpitate.

Re: Is Knowing Local Language necessary?
If you are a foreigner, it is essential to learn the local language. It might not be necessary, but learning the language is a plus when teaching your students. Likewise, it is easier to communicate on the locals if you know their language. Being a Filipino, there are similarities with Thai people w...

There are lots to choose from, with clothes from Thai designers. You might visit markets too where you can buy a lot of nice clothes that are affordab...

Re: Am I a Troll?
Is that the real meaning of a Troll? I admit, I am doing some of those mentioned here. But does that make me a Troll? I don't think I am. If that's the meaning of a Troll, then many of us were Trolls. If you are reading comments on social media, you can easily spot the Troll even not possessing thos...

Re: How do you connect with students from other cultures?
First thing is, if a certain student leaves in country, I will search in the internet to see what are the trends in their country. I also search about their culture. That way, I can avoid being careless of my words. Another thing is, if it is possible, I will look for their profile on Facebook. I'll...

Re: smart ways to deal with rude people!
I have encountered a lot of rude people. Admittedly, I tend to fight back before, but I know it's not giving me any benefits. I learned to calm myself down whenever I encounter them. The best response I made towards them is remain silent. Rude people provokes you, and wanted you to talk. When I stay...

Re: Overcoming culture shock
Not really shocked upon reaching Thailand. Since I am a Filipino, there are similar traits from our country and Thailand. Though, of course, there are differences, but they can be dealt with. Thailand is still a beautiful place to live and work in.

You may just being challenged by your boss. If you did everything and you achieved a lot, yet your boss ignores and disc...

Re: Geography of Thailand
I am familiar of Thailand even when I am still at my grade school because I have an Atlas where I used to look at and determine where a certain country is. Thailand is actually in between of Myanmar, and Laos and Cambodia, at the region of Southeast Asia. It is among those countries on a part of Asi...
