Hotroast Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hi I was looking for some information regarding teaching english in Ubon. I'm married to a Thai so hopefully visa not a problem. Wondering if TEFL certificate is enough and also is there work in Ubon ? Thanks Sent from my SM-G930F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sent from my SM-G930F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app I’m sure there must be work in Ubon for teachers with a degree and under some circumstances, without one. Please ensure whoever you work for, provide a Work Permit as some agencies seem to think that it’s not so important.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Weird Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Isn't a degree required in order to teach legally? Edited March 6, 2018 by Just Weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think too much or the OP will have his mind blown when he realizes that TEFL is not at all a requirement, the actual degree is. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny2017 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) A degree is needed to be legal. It's possible to work on a Non-O visa, based on marriage to a Thai. Ubon is a big city with plenty of schools, but you should be careful, it's highly possible that the Immigration visits schools. Imprisonment and deportation is possible, not having a degree will give you very bad chances for a job. Even degreed teachers with experience make hardly more than 37,000 baht. Please Google Filipino university offering BA in education, if you're serious about it. The best time to look for a job is in April, beginning of March. Legwork with some good resumes seems to be the best option. Edited March 6, 2018 by jenny2017 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any idea about whether the private schools require a BA or any other qualifications?

You will need to get permission to teach from the Teachers' Council to teach in any school covered by OBEC. You cannot get permission without a degree.
