I have lists upon lists upon lists, not long now and I will be leaving all that I know for a whole new life. Panic has well and truly set in, just waiting for my visa back, have to organise travel and health insurance ( any ideas would be welcomed greatly) and my injections are booked for this Friday. Learning thai hasn't got much further but I am sure I will somehow manage. I have to book flights and move out. I am positive there is probably more on my lists but I think that's quite enough to sort out for the next 5 days. Wish me luck!!!

Emily when are you getting here? Hope the news of protests hasn't put you off. Just posted a blog about them from my point of view so give it a read if you're worried about anything :-)
Don't worry about learning Thai. It's a tonal language so unless you've actually taken proper lessons with a native speaker not many people will understand you unfortunatley. I've just picked it up as I've gone along and it's a much better way to learn than from the Lonely Planet phrase book I got. Useless it was!! Just remember to say "Chan mai chai nak ton teo" (I'm not a tourist) whenever someone tries to rip you off. Works a treat for me :-)
Good luck!
Hey there, Im also heading to thailand on the 5 month teaching placement, My school is the ACT in Bangkok! I cannot wait, but like u i'm also panicking! The lists are endless, I dont even have a rucksack let alone travel/health insurance. Pleas let me know if you find any good travel insurers. Oh and good luck!
Good Luck Emily!
Good luck!
Hi Emily, I have looked into insurance and have found that World Nomads looks good. Check out their website and see what you think. I know what you mean about lists - I keep making lists for everything!!!
Cheers, Kate.
Hey, I got my visa back this morning can't believe I got it so quick only sent it on Thursday. Its finally set in that i'm definitely going now lol. I'm struggling looking for travel and health insurance as I don't know where to look either.
