If you want to teach English in Bangkok, there is quite literally something for everyone! From the international schools which are looking for qualified teachers right down to the multitude of language schools who require little more than a basic TEFL certificate.
There is lots of work in government schools and universities to be found also.
Pay varies but teachers in government schools and language centres can expect to start off on salaries of about 30,000 baht per month.
Better qualifications will land better jobs, better salaries and better opportunities.
As regards the nightlife, I went to a nice western styled pub with my new colleagues which had a nice atmosphere.
I've also had a couple of meals down in the Khao San area which has lots of foreign travellers to mingle with.
Lots of bars and lots of restaurants catering to anything you want really.
There are some great cinemas as well.
There is plenty of accommodation to choose from.
You can get pretty basic apartment style rooms on the outskirts of the city for a few thousand baht a month.
Central Bangkok sees the price shoot up.
I've got a nice studio near the MRT for 10,000 per month and that includes furniture, a swimming pool and fitness centre.
There is a huge choice of property here to suit any budget.
Bangkok is a shopper's paradise! There are huge malls in the centre of town to indulge in western luxury items.
A wide range of Supermarkets: Tesco Lotus, Villa for western goods.
Tops is good too.
7-11's are absolutely everywhere so essential items are usually within a few minutes walk.
Cable TV and internet is also easy to fix up, True provides both my cable tv and internet.
Packages from True cover most of the major cable channels and depending on your love of sports and movies will cost anywhere between 750 and 2000 baht.
I'm not too interested in tv so the 750 baht silver package gives me some news and entertainment shows.
Internet is 600 baht from True and has been pretty good so far.
Most people in Bangkok smile and are very helpful.
The receptionist in my condo block helped me to get my cable tv and internet sorted out and people in the shops and manning stalls near my home always smile.
Their level of English is not very good though.
Transport really isn't a problem in Bangkok.
The MRT and BTS can take you to most central places quickly, cheaply and comfortably in air-conditioned ease.
If its just a short local hop, motorbike taxis seem to be on every street corner and will weave in and out of traffic to get your destination very quickly - just be warned that this isn't the safest mode of transport! Add to that a huge number of private taxis and an extensive bus network as well as the river and khlong (canal) taxis.
There is a huge amount to see and do in Bangkok.
From huge central malls to open air markets and vendors on every street corner and your eyes should never be tired.
There are amazing temples hidden away along out of the way sois as well as all the main attractions like the Grand Palace and Wat Pho.
Everbody will have different things they like, there is just so much! It is truly an international city that buzzes 24 hours per day.
However, Its incredibly busy, noisy, pollution from traffic fumes can be very bad in the central areas.
Traffic can be held up for what seems like hours at a time.
If you're a countryside person, this probably isn't the place for you.
There are lots of things to see and dohere, bars restaurants, street-life, The Grand Palace, the peace of Lumpini Park, the bustle of Chatuchak weekend market, the backpackers ghetto on Khao San Road or just whizzing along the Chao Phraya River taking in the sights.
Far too many to sum up in a sound-bite.
