I'm looking at a move to SE Asia particularly Laos, Myanmar or perhaps Manilia.
I would very thankful for any information regarding the following:
- Laos VIS saving potential, I can't find any information of salary and benefits.
- Myanmar which is the best school? I know rents and electricity are going through the roof. Is it possible to save?
Or any schools in the area with over $1000 a month realistic savings potential. Single, top of scale
Eastern Seaboard Thailand?
Thanks do much
Laos v Myanmar

87654321, unless you are an IB trained teacher, you won't be going to VIS Laos - they are IB and don't have a lot of openings every year. Being a small IB school, they only hire IB trained teachers. Applied and was told that, plus heard same through friends who worked there in the past.
Myanmar, not much savings possibility except for at the top 1 or 2 schools, which again, don't usually have lots of openings. Plenty of openings at the lower ranked schools...

VIS has hired people without IB in the past and trained them. Its not that common though, they are a very small school and generally dont have the staff to mentor a teacher without IB experience.
All the schools in Myanmar are third tier schools, of the bad apples MISY is the best (we actually had a discussion about it recently) you can find the post here:

You cant really save a lot in either place, the money is just to low. You can get by as long as you stay in country, but once you leave your saving after conversion and cost of living are very small.
