Well I have done it! I signed the contract to teach English as a second language, ESL in Thailand for an eight month period of time. I’ll be leaving in the spring of next year so I will have plenty of time to get everything in order and prepare for the years leave from home. I plan on tacking two months more time on at the end so I can spend some time seeing the country and travel around before coming home. Thailand is the land of smiles and the Thai people touted by many travelers as the friendliest people in the world. I am really looking forward to the experience to be submersed n another culture and language for that long a period of time. But more importantly is the preparations at hand.
Other than wardrobe for such a hot and humid climate and other obvious things. I am need to figure out what to do with my house. I would need to rent it out for the year I will be gone, however am not fond of the idea of meeting with, screening and ultimately selecting tenants. This is not my forte. Besides if I did that I would need to be prepared to be out of my house before I was needing to leave for Thailand. Researching for a property management company I came up with Transglobe property management. I’m thinking that this will be the way to go. Turning the property over to them as I leave for Thailand and let them handle the details. Next step see what I can find on Transglobe property management with the Better Business Bureau. Once done with that set up an appointment to discuss my needs. And with that done a load will be off my mind and focusing on the rest of the issue brought up by leaving the country for a year could be handled.
