Thank you for all of that information! I'm about to graduate college and I have a certificate in TESL. I've been really looking into teaching in Thailand.

I have a question you may be able to answer. I have a nose piercing and a foot tattoo. I'm assuming I will need to keep the tattoo covered at all times, and I'll have to take out my piercing, but I wasn't sure. I've heard mixed opinions from people who have visited and/or worked there. Thanks.
