There are a couple of other factors; 1. Whether its a budget, mid-priced or premium school. 2. If its a school that has, or aspires to have, International accreditation then they will not employ many unqualified teachers or will at least expect you to get accredited within a reasonable time. 3. Some difference in salaries sometimes between primary, middle school and high school especially if teaching A level or AP

Tom, FYI, was in the AVSE teacher job assistance program with 5 teachers, 3 South African's, 2 Americans. All of us found a job within one week of course completion. My salary is $1000 per month as an English teacher only, working 25 hrs a week, other teachers' salaries are higher, but some are asked to teach other subjects as well, such as math, history, or science. I had no previous teaching experience, but a couple of the other teachers did have experience. Are you playing anywhere this weekend?
@ I’m not sure. The Facebook event says it starts at 6pm and anyone in costume gets free draft beer untill 10pm. I’m not sure when the bands play. I highly doubt it will be at 6pm - there’s another band playing too. I will make a post about it when I find out more details. It’s a day of the dead party. Add me on insta too
Hello Tom. For teachers to find a job, March-April is the on season, and these months (November-December) are the off season. is it the same with Cambodia?

I will be traveling to Vietnam for the first time next week. I have heard so many videos about people being scammed at the airport when buying a sim card. What did you do when you went to Vietnam and needed a sim card and ride to your hostel from the airport?
My Cambodian SIM card has agreements with Thailand and Vietnam to Roam. It’s like I pay $1.50 fee each day I use it roaming, and I get my regular plan I use here. - I don’t know about scams. Inside the airport there are phone shops aggressively selling SIM cards with tourist plans.
I was just trying to fill out the e arrival card declaration online and it shows that they want payment online to get through it, so it will let us submit it. I thought we were supposed to be able to still pay cash at the immigration on arrival at the airport in Phnom Penh when entering Cambodia by plane???????????
I tried to google this and look into it. It says as of Sept 1st 2024 they want it all done paperless and electronically. I couldn’t get a clear answer saying they don’t accept cash, so I’m not 100% sure. However From what I see online, they are trying to eliminate that part of the process where people line up to pay with cash. The electronic way, everyone just goes through much faster.
How much have you been paying for your bus ticket from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Mong City? I just went to 3 bus ticket places by Night Market and they want $39, $46 and $76 for a one way ticket with no toilet on the bus and a 7 hr. Trip. I thought my roommates were paying $17-$24 earlier this summer when gas was higher priced. My landlord thinks something is off as well and thought that ticket is only supposed to run $13-$20...
@ I usually book online. The latest one I took was called Danh Danh - near Olympic stadium. They charge $20 each way. I think they are Vietnamese, however they don’t have the greatest reviews
