I have been offered a job in Bangkok. The basic salary is about 88,000 baht a month plus 30,000 a month housing allowance. Medical included. Flights included. Free education for my two children. The question is, is this enough for a family of four to live on? There is also something about a part of the salary being linked to the exchange rate for the UK pound so the salary may go up a bit. I don't really understand this though.
Any advice gratefully received

Any new developments on this initial post? Any educational provision for 3 year olds on the island? NLCS?

For me Hiroshima is one of the best cities to live in in Japan. There is a lot of young culture there and it is not the dark and depressing place that many people imagine it must be.
Once you are set up there i would imagine that 300k would be sufficient to live OK. You won't save too much but you will be able to live just fine. Do you have a specific package on the table? If so is there anything included?

So, I am going to merge the asked for documents in to one pdf. I am probably over thinking everything but which order would you put things in your document? I am thinking application letter, application form and then cv complete with photo in that order. Ideas? Thanks

Thank you for the advice everyone. Need to maximise my chances of getting the interview so have to get this one right. I got the advice from one of the agencies which I am signed up to. Think I'll go with the combined PDF. Fingers crossed as this exact job is the reason that I started out on the teaching path 10 years ago.

I want to apply for a job and the school website states that applicants should submit cv, photograph, letter of application and application form. I have read that it is bad form to send attachments and some admin will not open an email with any. So, how would you apply? Send as attachments or put everything in the body of the email if possible? Thanks
