have been teaching in the UK now for three years. I have a degree in Chemistry and also a teaching qualification called a (Postgraduate certificate in Education) PGCE. I have qualified teacher status (QTS) and am a associate member of the royal society of Chemistry.

I want to teach in a different culture and not the ungrateful children who grace my classroom now and then.

What is next? I don't have a TEFL qualification but I could teach English. I would prefer however to teach my subject. I currently teach up to A level (up to 18years which is equivalent to 1st year undergrad in USA)

Many thanks for your help

I would assume any school in Thailand would be happy to have you, at least in theory (and if they had a chemistry opening).

You'd basically have two choices:

1. Look for positions at "real" international schools here from abroad, and wait for a suitable opening- this option gives you the best deal but may take some time, depending on who needs chem. teachers

2. Come here and get what work you can (TEFL or otherwise) until you make enough connections to get into one of the few decent Thai schools as a chemistry teacher

Have a look at all of this thread to get a better idea.
