Here are two previous posts on doing an English teaching qualification and volunteering in Thailand: htp://www.earthoria.com/voluntary-work-in-thailand.html http://www.earthoria.com/celta-course-chiang-mai.html Hi Stephanie - it obviously depends on what skills/qualifications you have (and of course what kind of work you WANT to do, but most foreigners starting off working in Thailand either teach English, or start as volunteers and then get a job working with an NGO.

And the Thai smile is definitely one thing I will miss tremendously. When I have a bad day I just out into the street and smile at the first person I see and they always smile back. In Denmark where I grew up people think you are up to something suspicious if you smile at them in the street (and you don't know them). I always feel blessed that I have been able to live here for several years of my life. Best wishes, Tina Noga Dear Elke,

Traveling on a bike trough the north, where a simple smile and a fantastic thai meal with a cool Singha can make you feel like the luckiest person in the world. To be able to be happy with small things. Thai style! I don’t live in Thailand, but I hope soon I will be able to find a job and go over… it’s the general feeling you get when you’re there.

My #10 would have to be shopping and all of the great markets. I know it's usually women who love shopping, but the markets in Thailand are so great and have such a huge selection. You can literally find anything and everything, especially at the larger ones. Not sure I agree with #4 - driving in Thailand is definitely taking your life in your hands.
