I have just returned from an interview at a large school, close to BKK ( I got the position). They were virtually pleading to know if I knew of any other native English ( and Chinese) speaking teachers ( They need five). I think there's quite a shortage, since the visa crackdown.
That sounds promising. I'm a native speaker.
Can you tell me where to apply, or the name of the school?

Thanks for all the responses. Even the tongue in cheek ones.
I feel like I'm starting to understand what to do and what to expect.
Some of you are asking why Bangkok. I have a friend there already, he's a teacher too. Oh, and of course I've met my Thai Soulmate online and we're going to get married... joke!
I'm going to start applying for jobs before I go. Maybe it is super easy to jump on a plane and get a job when you're there, but that would be kinda intense right? I mean, to land in a country where you don't know where anything is, and you don't speak the language, and you don't understand the culture all that well...
I think, at the very least, I would like to know I've actually got the job sorted.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate your responses.
You mentioned that the picture is important. What can I do to make mine more 'acceptable'. For example I have a beard. Should I get rid?
Short hair?
Body shot or close up face shot?
And anything else I should know.
Yeah, looks like I'll check out ajarn as well!

Hi guys. I'm hoping you can help me.
I have a degree, and live in England. I want to teach English. There's a maze of information out there on how to get a job, and there's a lot to understand, visas, agencies, culture, location, private vs public etc.
I'm a little overwhelmed, so I thought I'd get your expert opinions .
Here's the deal. I want to get a job near to bangkok. I want it to be relatively stress free. Money is NOT a priority. I'll take a smaller salary, if I can have better hours. I'll take less money if an agency sorts out all the paperwork. I want the process to be straight forward and painless. I want to save my energy for the teaching!
So I guess I want to go with an agency. Can anyone recommend a good one. I've heard a few horror stories...
Thanks,
Alex
