Tonight I wondered if I had the right clothes for teaching in Thailand. I know it is more conservative than here, but what does that look like? So did a little research on the internet. I can’t wear pants. Skirts have to be at least to the knee. I have to have my shoulders and chest covered. No sandals. If the local teachers dress less conservative that doesn’t mean I can. Foreigners are held to a different standard. If I don’t dress appropriately, they won’t tell me even if I ask. They are too polite. They just won’t renew my contract. If I live and work in a small town, I will be expected to dress like this all the time except at the beach. No sandals? I love sandals. I’m going to die of heat stroke. I don’t know if I have enough clothes to match these requirements. Commence melt down.
