my wife and I have been teaching ESL at universities here in South Korea since the mid 90s (both of us are american) and are looking to get out of the cold weather etc that is teaching in korea and was wondering how we'd go about landing decent paying jobs in thailand. we both have Masters Degrees (hers is in English mine is in Poli Sci/History/Education with a US high school teaching credential) what kind of jobs would we be qualified for and how could we start looking? maybe second semester this year or the 2011 school year to start

hope somebody here can point us in the right direction

The school term here starts in May and recruitment will start very, very soon.

Best of luck and welcome to the forum!

If you're qualified to teach international schools, year starts in August, recruitment starts now.

I agree with PB, both of you should teach at an international school, unless you wish to make a great amount less than you are currently making.

thanks for the info. let me ask for the international schools do you need k-12 experience to land a job as we both have taught exclusively at universities here.

Your credentials alone should be enough to secure a job with an international school. Just make sure that the school is a TRUE international school, operating in Thailand from the UK or US. The term "international" is used very loosely here. Any private Thai school in operation can tag "international" onto their schools name.
