Hello All.

My friend and I are considering going to Thailand to teach English in the next couple of months although before we go, we have a lot of questions that need answering!

We are both female Canadians in our early 20's who have just recently completed our TESOL courses and posess 2 year technical diplomas.

Our number one question at the moment is whether or not a person need to have some sort of a degree or not to teach in Thailand. Our visions of teaching Taiwan have already been crushed due to this degree law.

Any information you could give would be very appreciative! Also, if it ends up that you do need a degree, where else would one want to look for a job where the weather is tropical/on the warmer side......coming from Western Canada, I've had more than enough of my share of the colder weather.

Feel free to email me any information as well.

Opportunities in Thailand for lady teachers are in abundance. Although the law requires that you must have a degree the fact still remains that you will almost certainly have no problems getting work here.

Actually this is the best time of year to come here and start looking. Basically the schools want you to teach, and you want to work for them. You are on the same side, so don't worry too much about being bogged down with the small stuff like 'have I got a degree'! I don't have a degree. And if you really need one, just buy one in BKK

Flippant reply? Sure, but realistic also. Come on in... the water is luvverly!
