Captain Bob’s Boose Cruise on Koh Phi Phi, Thailand- I took on this second job for some extra cash and worked 3 hours a day and sold trips only working on commission. I made 300 Baht/ $9 a person :)
My goal was to sell at least two a day — sometimes I sold 7, sometimes I sold none… for the two months I worked for Canadian Bob, I alwayss had a good time and I was always ahead with money.
I split shifts with 3 other westerners– a girl from Finland and two Brazilian guys – We worked 7 days a week, but when your job requires you to sit on the road that leads to the beach and spark up a convo with every tourist that walks by — it doesn’t ever feel like much work :)

Easy enough to coordinate your schedule between the two?

Yes for sure. I worked the afternoon here and then didn’t have to work until the night at my other job :) They were sweet gigs.
hahaha YES Tom! so funny! Glad you found me on here :)
Hey! I used to work at a Thai restaurant over here in NJ.. never knew anything about Thai food or culture but in my short time working there I learned a lot..Out of curiosity, what’s your favorite Thai dish?
I took his cruise twice! Got stuck in a tropical storm on the far side of the island and the boat almost sunk. It was a great experience :)
Kate!! I would really love to ask you some questions about your journey because I have very similar dreams. Is there any way you can get in contact with me?
Hey Kate,
I’ve decided to make the move to Thailand! I kind of just booked my ticket without even thinking about it. I was wondering if you needed a work VISA to get these jobs or if they just payed you under the table. Your entire blog has been very informative and I’m stoked to travel, live and meet a bunch of people.
I found a couple great gigs on Koh Tao, and its personally just my favorite spot in Thailand. You need to make it a priority to go to Myanmar. Best trip in SE Asia I ever did. Get there now before bad tourism ruins it! Great blog!
I know! I gotta get there!
hahah I love that thinking :)
Kate,
Id appreciate some advice on my job hunt in Thailand. Please let me know of there is a way to contact you.
Much thanks, safe travels
