Was up everybody !!!!

I need a bit of advice!

I have been offered an English teaching position in Thailand. The only thing I am waiting for is my Visa then I’m off to this enchanting world.

However I am terrified about the racism/ sexism I may face, as I have heard many stories about the racial tolerance of Thais and their obsessions with fair skin.

I originally have light brown skin but wanted got darker sunbathing in Cyprus. I'm from London. Where I’m from everybody wants to be darker. They sunbathe at every opportunity they get and buy fake tan, even black people like myself!!!

I found it amazing how a nation with such beautiful complexions actually bleaches their skin to get lighter.

People would die for your colour!!

This makes wonder how I would be accepted in a nation that sees darker skin as inferior to light skin.

Also as I am young female and will be traveling alone I wonder if anyone could give me some tips on how to stay safe and were I can go out and have fun.

I hear the police can be corrupt......I’ve been told to bribe them! ........what do you think?


Are my discoveries an exaggeration and pure hear say? Or should I reconsider coming to Thailand alone? xxxxxxx
