				| 
 |  
				| I want to take a tefl course and looking into tefl international or www.thailandexperience.com on  koh Samui.  I have never been to Thailand but it is where i can afford to go, i love asia, and new places.  When people take theses courses do they usually go and check out the country before, or just pack up and hope for the best? Am i crazy to just go?
 Also out of the two courses above, does anybody have any experience with the course on koh Samui?
 
 Thanks everybody

				| I don't know for sure, but I think doing the TEFL courses in your home country is more of the norm. It seems to be that way with CELTA and college/uni programmes |  |
