Thinking about teaching English in Thailand? I decided to interview some English teachers living in Thailand. This is another question and answer, and should give people who are thinking about becoming a EFL teacher in Thailand some good information. This interview involves two different teachers, I have given them two different colours so you can differentiate from each.<\/p>\n

Can you tell me a little about yourself?<\/b><\/h2>\n

I am a 20-something male from the United Kingdom. I studied Engineering at university and worked every summer for a consultancy in London.<\/span><\/p>\n

I left the UK for almost identical reasons as you. Everyone had finished university, everyone was ready to become dormant and everyone was spouting ‘Its time I joined the real world’.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was having none of it and wanted to continue my immaturity through to my late thirties. I also wanted to live abroad as I’d hated the UK my whole life (and I don’t like fat girls, shit weather and chavs<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Consequently, I resigned on my first real day at work and got myself on the ESL<\/a> plane to Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

I went on to spend seven months in Korea, before doing midnight run to Taipei, where I spent a further seven months before midnight-running to my current place of residence, Bangkok.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a 28 year old British guy. Got a BA in English plus a 4 week TEFL certificate. I have also just finished an M.Ed in Primary Education. I\u2019ve spent most of my life traveling around the world. England in just where my passport is from; it\u2019s certainly not my home, though.<\/span><\/p>\n

I moved away from the UK cos I hated it! So a simple answer on that front. I just hated the predictability and rigidity of life in the UK. Plus, I have always wanted to teach English to kids after my first teaching experience in Honduras during my gap year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you hold a valid degree or a TEFL course certificate? <\/b><\/h2>\n

Bachelor’s in Engineering and a legit non Carretera de Khao San<\/span><\/a> CELTA.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

I do, I have a BA in English, TEFL and as I said, I\u2019ll have that M.Ed soon. The reason for doing the M.Ed was to secure a Thai teachers license. It\u2019s been a pretty crappy year back in the UK to be honest and I can\u2019t wait to get on that flight in September.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it hard to get a teaching job in Thailand?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Yes and No.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
