Teach English in Thailand

The Land of Smiles has long been a popular destination for English teachers. Jobs are plentiful. The lifestyle in Thailand is simpler and more “laid back” than many of the more hectic destinations for teachers. The teachers' salaries afford a comfortable lifestyle in this tropical paradise. Although most teachers teach in and around Bangkok, there are many schools in the quieter city of Chiang Mai and in the beach community of Phuket. Anywhere you teach in Thailand, you are sure to fall in love with the Thai warmth and friendliness; few places on Earth have as kind and warm-hearted a population as Thailand.
