Thanks for all the advice so far.

No, I'm not a troll, unless using a fake username makes me one these days.

The only reason I mentioned Korea in my OP was that I had heard (admittedly second-hand) that it was easier and paid better there. Probably just as easily could have said Japan, though.

Petch,

I made it to page 7 in my search. Then, someone mentioned that the rules were either changing or were going to change soon and I thought it might be a good idea to summarize in a recent post what is known so far. Didn't mean to offend...

Could someone please summarize all the latest "hoops" I would have to jump through just to get started teaching in Thailand? And are these new hoops a way of trying to discourage farang teachers these days? If so, maybe I'll teach in Korea instead. Thanks.

PS: I may try to teach English or science in secondary schools, still haven't made up my mind.
