If you like the idea of living in a small city in Thailand consider teaching opportunities in Ubon Ratchathani. Those that settle in Ubon love the small city feel with the option to still enjoy quality restaurants and bars. Ubon, as it is often referred to, offers jobs in government schools, the local university, or language schools.
Most will pay around $750 but that is more than plenty considering a nice apartment will cost around $100. Brunty has spent 5 years living in Thailand and is happy to now call Ubon her home. Visit her blog for tips about moving around the city.
