Settle into Asian living and teach English in Chiang Mai, a small city in the north of Thailand. After escaping the big capital of Bangkok, people discover teaching in Chiang Mai is the perfect location for them to relax. You are still in the heart of the backpacking belt, and can escape for a long list of adventures that are at your doorstep.
Chiang Mai is also a hotspot for teaching jobs as people discover they can easily get by on their monthly salary of $1000 and comfortably save a little to continue traveling. Johnny loved Chiang Mai and gives an excellent break down of tips and what to expect in his blog.
