Teaching In Thailand Being a international school teacher in Thailand can be a great career with salaries in the range of $2,500 to $6,000 per month, or you could become a TEFLer teaching English with a salary range of 350-600 pounds per month, although with many teaching jobs it could be worth doing a TEFL course even if no experience is necessary, but will teaching students fulfil your overseas jobs yearnings? Is a English language teaching job something you really want to do? Can you teach English?

How Long can You Last?

Teaching in Thailand starts off great but after a few years gets one down. Once you are married, especially with kids, it's really impractical to do it due to the lack of cash. I'm not talking about the 'real', international teacher. I lasted about 10 years before I started to do other things. I'm still doing the odd bit after 15 years.
Once you learn the language, then I'd say it's impossible to work in the mattyom type environment, especially govt. schools.

How long can you you see yourself lasting? Are you aware that it's a shot-time vocation for most?
