lembeh Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 So, they are after a PhD, evidence of publications and past work experience all for the princely sum of 32,000 baht per month. From which of course will be deducted tax and social security. Fucking pathetic. Uni pay scales here for the foreigners are a total outrage. -j- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they will get people who are either not very good, or those who look at it as a working holiday for a couple of years for the experience - and have the financial resources to subsidise their living costs.
