I've just returned to the UK having been in Chiang Mai for 5 months and am so pleased to have clean air and no ac and filters running . It is a shit show here now though, so I understand the OP's desire to get the hell out!

A meditation chair from Muji here is 1900. In the UK I'd have to order it on ebay for over 10,000!

He'll need a TEFL, and a degree is 'strongly preferred'.

Good for you, Thomas. I spend a lot of time in Thailand. Many things are considerably cheaper than here in the UK and really appreciate being able to eat out from time to time and have massages etc. But I'm glad I have a hut in the UK to get away from the pollution and heat. Also, it's great to be understood in everyday life - Thai was too hard for me to learn!

@Phil *******

I didn't think it needed spelling out tbh.

@Thomas ******

Well, most don't offer Thailand much of anything in truth so..

Those in glass houses...

@Kiy ****

Even that's not legal! (But I know many do it).

Best of both worlds...

I hear you, but would offer a word of caution. Thailand is not a 'place of paradise'. There's the scorching heat and the pollution for starters. Getting visas is hard work and getting a work visa, even harder. Do you speak Thai? Then there's the taxes - the situation is changing there all the time when it comes to farang. And there's also the numerous health considerations/costs. I love Thailand, and have spent half a year there most years for a decade, but it's not the paradise you may imagine it to be.
