Does anyone know of a car hire firm that will allow a drop off at Loei Airport or Downtown?

I want to hire the car in Chiang Mai, which is no problem, but i am struggling to find anyone to accept a drop off at Loei

It does make me laugh that people are still on here talking about how you will not get a work permit, you have to work illegally and in rural areas with a poor salary.

I have been teaching in Thailand for 13 years. I have held a work permit for all of those years. I have worked in Bangkok with a work permit. I receive the same money as those with a degree.

The school that I now teach at is listed in the top 50 in Thailand. The last one was in the top 10. Does not sound rural to me.

I pay tax, get sick leave and holidays(paid). I am in the social security scheme. I also have a 12 month contract.

I am currently working towards a degree in Education. The reason for this is the TCT not the Labour office.

I have been told first hand by several different labour offices that the requirement is to show Education certificates and to have a letter of recommendation from a school and the local education office.

The answer to the original question is Yes.

Go in smart. Show them what you can do. Be polite and make yourself an asset to the school.

Should be no problem.

thanks puchooay, very encouraging!

As others have stated it is very difficult but not impossible. I have known a guy for many years who has had many jobs in BKK, no degree at all but a TEFL, also he only used agents, he is no longer in Thailand, he has gone home to the UK.

He also had work at Language centres as well which kept him busy in the evenings and at the weekends. Part time at some Colleges could be easy to get but Universities are very difficult to get into without a degree (nearly impossible), but if you want to try your luck give it a go.

Which country are you from?

Thanks beano2274, i am from the UK.

In your opinion, do you think it would be best to use agents? I presume these are easily sourced via the internet?

I am travelling to Thailand in December for a holiday and hope to be able to gather some more info then.

Hi all,

I have a TEFL qualification but no degree.

Is there any chance of me finding teaching work in Thailand?

Thanks
