Work and Travel in Chiang Mai

WORK IN CHIANG MAI ALL YEAR ROUND

Please edit this section to tell travellers what kinds of short term work is available in Chiang Mai all year round. Mention skills that are in demand here more than other places. For example, if you can get some work as a translator in Chiang Mai but it is as hard as anywhere else, don't list it. If it's a region in China that cannot get enough English translators.... I think you get the idea.

ATTITUDE TO FOREIGNERS WORKING IN CHIANG MAI

As an American, about 36% of us have a passport. Though this is a small number, it continues to increase. With that said, we are now travelling more and more. I have noticed in my travels that the locals, in some countries, might seem cold but once you start to talk to them ones opinion changes. I don't think they view us as stuck-up, rich or rude but they know that we enjoy being tourist and engaging in the culture. I hate to say this but here in Thailand, the locals and the other tourist are friendlier than the locals back in Southern California and that was shocking.
