telecommunications/internet services are readily available. All staple foods can be found in the markets, eg: rice, meat, vegetables, fruit, cooking oil, salt, etc. Many imported goods are available in Bangkok and other places throughout Thailand. Bangkok has many good restaurants with good health standards and most guesthouses provide food. In Thailand the most used means of transportation are taxi or local bus (and, in Bangkok, the elevated train service). Mobile phone is the most dependable tool to be in-touch with colleagues and friends. Internet service is readily available and affordable at most apartment complexes. ATMs are everywhere in Thailand and international issued cards can usually be used to withdraw Thai Baht.

For those with children, schooling options in Bangkok are to be well evaluated and determined before taking your children at duty station. School fees and area really depends on your preferences. Admission fees for school in Thailand ranges from $3,000 - $9,000 and tuition fee from $5,500 - $25,533 (per annum). Depending on educational quality and the area, you may need to explore more on schools to find out what they could offer that serves the needs of your children. No specific allocation is available for schooling and Volunteers will need to bare the entire costs. AssssignnmmeennttDe etaiils

The contract lasts for the period indicated above with possibility of extensions subject to availability of funding,

operational necessity and satisfactory performance. However, there is no expectation of renewal of the assignment.

housing, utilities, transportation, communications and other basic needs. The VLA can be computed by applying the

Post-Adjustment Multiplier (PAM) to the VLA base rate of (choose from the drop down menu the appropriate rate

here): US$1270. The VLA base rate is a global rate, while the PAM is country-specific and fluctuates on a monthly basis

according to the cost of living. This method ensures that international UN Volunteers have comparable purchasing

power at all duty stations irrespective of varying costs of living. The PAM is established by the International Civil

Service Commission (ICSC) and is published at the beginning of every month on the ICSC website http://icsc.un.org .

For example, kindly enter the link Calculator
