Anonymous participant 686 Thanks, that’s helpful. Did you go soft power and then start teaching once there?

@Sharon ********

Thanks. Yes I’m hoping to get help and reduce my household chores a bit.

Anonymous participant 976 The reason for what? The DTV??

@Frank ********

Yes I would have clients from outside Thailand 👍

@Robert ******

Thanks. Much more helpful than the tearful emoji 🤪

@Robert ******

So you also read the responses? I can earn more teaching online than in a international school.

So back to the original question….would you suggest going straight in as a digital nomad (online teacher) or a DTV cooking course and transferring it?

I genuinely don’t understand your negativity to a legitimate intelligent adult who has asked a sensible question?

I have savings. I want to enjoy my first few months there with my children and then get back into working. Hence my question 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Robert ******

So do you actually have some advice about the right visa? So “purpose workation”…like being a qualified degree level teacher?

I have 19 years teaching experience and a degree….I’ll teach my kids!

@Robert ******

Hi, just wondering why you put a crying emoji on this post? I’m looking for genuine info and advice. Do u have any?

@John *********

I do not want to work in an International School….see reply to Kurt above. Yes the fees are extortionate and why pay someone far less qualified than myself to teach my kids when I would be far more capable and passionate about doing it myself.

I can teach online 3 hours a day for the same salary an International School offers.

And yes I will have my hands full but I am used to that. Part of the reason I want to move to Thailand is for a more simple outdoor life and time with my children. That’s another reason I don’t want to be in an International School 5 days a week.

I am happy for us to live in small modest accommodation and on a budget rather than our outrageous cost of living in London 😬

@Kurt ************

Thanks for the advice. I will set up my online teaching platform before I go (I have customers keen already) and then apply for the remote work visa.
