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...

Re: Are clothes expensive in Thailand?

I don't think clothes are expensive in Thailand. There are lots of markets and malls which sells cheap clothing. You might try Platinum Fashion Mall. 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.

Re: Dealing with difficult bosses

We cannot control the situation. We might have some good bosses, oftentimes, they were hard to deal with. The best response to these kinds of bosses is hard work and achievements. 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...
