I really want to go teach in Phuket. Is there anyone who can give me some good solid info on teaching in Phuket. It seems as though everyone has an opinion. I'd like to find out about different schools in phuket and see what they offer as far as salary housing ect.. Thanks

Not all of these may be helpful to you, but I did a quick search and found a number of posts on Phuket.

A lot have to do with the CELTA training in Phuket.

No schools that I know of provide housing - you will have to bear that expense yourself.

Wages for most schools run from about B28,000 to B32,000 - and that will be for a full schedule. The market is much better in Phuket over the last few years.

Some schools will expect you to work a probationary period before getting you a work permit - so regular visa runs are a real possibility (but that is true of much of Thailand as well).

I hope that helps.
