You made 5800 a month. I only dream of making that kind of money in Thailand. The problems you speak of I've seen in my classrooms on a daily basis. My salary? About 675 a month.

If all else is the same, i.e. the job sucks ass, I'll take the bigger salary and reimbursements.

But then again, I've run into a lot of people who like tell tall tales in this TEFL business. Maybe my source made 50K and maybe he didn't. I need to go there and see for myself. I'll then report back the TRUTH about SA.
