I'm not surprised you quit.
I think there is "Teaching English" and then there is "Teaching English in Thailand". They can be very different things. Generally I don't recommend teaching English in Thailand because the pay sucks - but there are a whole bunch of other reasons too:

As far as what you do next, that depends to a large extent on whether you are staying in Thailand or not. I wrote some thoughts on alternatives to teaching here:

It depends on your interests and skills though.
I still think my option of working in UK for spring and summer and going to Asia from Nov-Apr and running my Internet/writing biz is a pretty good solution.
Wow, a whole class full of Thais interested in history & politics, that'd be a Guinness book entry I should think?
Seriously though, most of the Thais I have come across (many successful business people) couldn't even tell you when WW2 occurred - to the nearest DECADE !
If teaching English is dull don't do it.
Also, you may SUCK at it, and are using your bad skills as a defense mechanism.
Why did you go into teaching in the first place?
Because you can't do FUCK ALL ELSE.
You're a fuckhead.
Go back and be a taxi driver, or stock shelves at Carrefour.
If you had a good job, you would have never come out and "taught" without a degree in Ed., or other relevant areas.

Thanks for finally chiming in Milkster. Thread's been dead awhile and I'd nearly given up hope that you'd come in with your 2 satang of wisdom.
Anyway, I'll respond to your wild guesses about me .
-I had a great job in Las Vegas but got worn down by the routine. Had a bit of cash in the bank so decided to try something new. I really have no regrets but like I said before: Thank you for your kind advice.
