1. Must be an alcoholicOriginally Posted by sunsetter
2. The ability to handle drugs as a way of relaxing.
3. Being able to have regular sex so as to not stare at the female students' in an un-professional manner(which isn't necessarily a bad thing as at least it makes them feel valued).
4. Good knowledge of the visa and work permit loopholes.
5. Reasonable knowledge of Thai means you can translate in class (makes the job somewhat easier)
6. Have at least a couple of non-teacher friends so you don't have to listen to the boring stick up arse teachers talking about work in the bar.
7. A tolerant outlook - remember you'll have to be dealing with Thai village folk in the classroom - (ie:hillbilly fuckwits)
8. Be able to bullshit how great Thailand is without slagging the place off.(not easy after a few months)
that's just for starters - the list is endless.
