TEFL Certification In Thailand & Teaching English In Thailand With TEFL Jobs
There are a wide variety and number of TEFL courses in Thailand in locations to suit all tastes. Equally, teaching English in Thailand is well catered for due to the high number of TEFL jobs available. There is a high demand for English language knowledge and ability in this diverse and truly amazing country. Thailand is a central Asian country which enjoys a tropical climate with 3 seasons: hot and dry October through February; hot and humid with showers from March through May; and wet and cool June to September. These seasons vary from the cooler north of Thailand to the hotter south. The average annual temperature is 28 C (83 F), ranging, in Bangkok, for example, from 30 C in April to 25 C in December.
The relaxed life style, friendly people, and sense of tropical paradise, all make Thailand a very popular destination for teaching English. After completing a TEFL course in Thailand, TEFL jobs may appear to offer somewhat low salaries ranging from Bht 30,000 ($1000 USD) to Bht 60,000 ($2000 USD) per month, but the cost of living is relatively low. As a result, teaching English in Thailand provides the opportunity to live comfortably, save, and travel.
One thing to remember is that as a teacher teaching English in Thailand, you will be going native and not paying ‘Farang’ (foreigner) prices for everything. Most people find that salaries are more than enough to support a very comfortable lifestyle, and that TEFL jobs teaching English in Thailand are a very positive life experience.
Thailand is a very popular location for teaching English and TEFL courses, and it is important to remember to respect local concerns. Teachers teaching English in Thailand are respected members of society, and are expected to dress accordingly. It is, therefore, advisable that dress, when teaching or looking for TEFL jobs, includes either long trousers or a skirt below the knee, accompanied by long-sleeved shirt or blouse. Cut-off shorts and vests will neither win friends nor influence people. It does get very hot, so light-weight clothing is advisable. Simply show a little respect, and this will be appreciated and reciprocated. As with many Asian countries, the saving of face is extremely important; being rude or in-polite is seriously frowned upon.
The whole approach to TEFL courses in Thailand and teaching English in Thailand is dictated by your anticipated length of stay, and this will be reflected in your approach to visas. TEFL courses in Thailand can be completed on a tourist visa or a student visa. Teaching English in Thailand and TEFL jobs in Thailand in general require a Non-B visa which is renewable every twelve months. As well as this, teachers of English will need a teacher’s license. Employers help provide both the visa and the license. In order to be eligible, TEFL job applicants would have to of successfully completed a TEFL course in Thailand, or prior to arrival in another location.
Major cities for TEFL jobs teaching English in Thailand include Bangkok, Chang Mai, Udon Thani, Phuket, and Hat Yai. Bangkok offers great nightlife, but at the cost of pollution, congestion, and higher living costs…although salaries tend to be higher here. Mountainous Chang Mai and Udon Thani in the North of Thailand are proving popular, especially for those seeking the real Thailand, and the unique experience that comes with it. The island of Phuket is developing rapidly, and is very popular for TEFL courses in Thailand, and teaching English. With development comes a strong and varied TEFL job market in the public, private, and tourism sectors. Phuket also retains a great sense of tropical paradise, regardless of the development.
TEFL courses in Thailand are offered in Phuket, Ban Phe, and Chiang Mai, as well as several other locations. Searching on the net will provide a wide choice of TEFL course providers. Two things to consider are that the course provider is properly accredited and examined by the Thai Ministry of Education; and that the provider has good TEFL job support services, and that this element is included as part of the TEFL course.
For those seeking TEFL jobs teaching English in Thailand in advance of arrival, companies such as Anglo-Pacific Consultancy, Bell Associated Schools, and EF English First (which has several centres in Thailand), are all worth checking out. It is perfectly possible to get jobs on the spot in most cities. It is simply a matter of checking out the local English language press, trying to make a few contacts, and making the rounds of the universities, schools, and English language colleges. You will need a copy of your TEFL certificate, and increasingly in Thailand, a university degree is also a requisite.
As with any TEFL job teaching English in Thailand, you should complete some research. You should enquire with your employer about class sizes, teaching materials, preparation time, time for staff meetings, and expected length of contract. In some cases you will be making up the whole curriculum for your students, and in others working within a very rigid framework.
Most people find teaching English in Thailand a wonderful experience, and teaching Thai people a great pleasure. A fortune is not there to be earned, but a great sense of worth and accomplishment is there to be realized. There are a wide variety of TEFL courses in Thailand to choose from, leading to TEFL jobs, and an opportunity live, work, and travel in one of the world’s most amazing countries.

I really recommend doing a TEFL certificate and teaching abroad. I taught in Japan for 3 years and it was a great experience.
If I was Single and younger, it is definitely something I would have gotten involved in. Unfortunately, I never had the Internet in my mobile years to inform me of opportunities like that. I really feel rather robbed, or at least deprived.
But I suppose I never would have met my Thai wife if my life had gone differently.
Of course, I probably wouldn’t be sitting here with the aftermath of having torn my quadriceps tendon from my knee cap back on November 1st, thanks to tripping on the stairs while running up and down trying to re-establish the Internet connection to my computer after my wife’s youngest boy (aged 13) jarred it loose while moving the router to play his Xbox.
