PeaceBlondie Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi, james. You could start with the ads right here on Teaching in Thailand. It's no problem in some places, such as Chiang Mai, where reasonably priced guesthouses and lodgings abound. I stayed at a guesthouse for 7 weeks while preparing, taking the course, and finding work. I think a school in Phuket may have housing on the premises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bartender Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) James, No you should not take the job. You need to know how to teach before you become a teacher. A four week training course is the least you could do. I'm not sure if you're taking the piss or not, but you should seriously research the ramifications of getting caught working without a degree in Thailand. Better yet, why don't you ask yourself if you really want to become an educator, or if you're even qualified to become one.

Loaded Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I'm not sure if you're taking the piss or not, but you should seriously research the ramifications of getting caught working without a degree in Thailand. there are no ramifications if you work without a degree. Nothing illegal about not having a degree. Many teachers I know have no degree and are working with or without a work permit. It is illegal to work without a work permit but up to now very few teachers have ever had action taken against them. However if you use a fake degree to obtain a work permit then that is fraud and you will be in the proverbial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
