Even though it isn’t 100% enforced you are also required to have a college degree in order to teach.

I understood why your answers were rather bleak to all those email. It is a challenge to find work in Thailand. Most available works are given to Thais to safeguard their livelihoods. A company employing a foreigner will need to justify that the work the foreigner will be doing cannot be carried out by local.

I am looking to be a language teacher in Thailand for quite a while and I understand that it might not be rewarding in the monentary sense. I was exploring poorer areas where I can reach out to poor kids. However, up till now I am not successful yet as most required language teacher to be native speaker or with TEFL or TESOL certification.

Nice insights. Yes, realised there are quite a fair bit of mags & local island newspapers there.

Btw, do you know how easy or difficult is it to get work permit/ PR in Thailand?
