Guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 Has anyone here taught english in thailand. I have pondered moving there and living for a year or so, and would like an income while I am there; does anyone have any idea or thoughts on teaching english in thailand ? Also I have an A.A degree here in the states, would that be enough to get myself a teaching job in thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straycat Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 Hi! I suspect you will get many many responses here since there seems to be quite a few teachers around... Meanwhile, you could check out Ajarn.com which I think is specifically aimed towards English teachers in Thailand. I think you will find quite a lot of info there.

Guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 Near as I can tell, if you show up for an interview with a school, and you are NOT wearing a thong bikini, be you male or female, then you are qualified to teach English in Thailand.

Zaad Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 I teach English at a private school. Note: I'm NOT a native speaker. I DON'T have a TEFL certificate. I DON'T have teaching experience. Well, I have it now. How I got the job??? I'm extremely handsome. :-) (joke) I think having any teaching certificate would almost guarantee you getting a teaching job here. Being a native speaker would be even better. Goodluck!

An Alcoholics Anonymous degree?! Well played. You'll get a teaching job no problem, pal. J :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicSurfer Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 This is the place to check out... http://www.stickmanbangkok.com/teaching.html Ajarn.com has some valuable info also... Just stay away from their Board, unless you like getting flamed by a bunch of tired and burned out old men. CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 What kind of income does it bring you?I knew a german guy in KSR who taught english while himself could barely speak it.He made a couple of hundreds per hour(250 I think) and lost several hours commuting per day He got a free bed somewhere in Pinklao too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 The salary depends on the classes. Sometimes 250, sometimes 300B/h. Possible to earn 30.000 Baht if I work everyday for about 4 hours. My TG has to work here for 2 more years. Then we'll go back to BKK and I'll find a computer related job. So this teaching job is just a nice experience for me and it's at the same time improving my English, I guess. Honestly, I couldn't be a teacher for more than 2-3 years.
