Hi

I am coming to Thailand from Oz to do a 4 week TEFL course (I also am an experienced journalist with a university diploma) and I want to teach somewhere in the North. I like the sound of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai particularly because I prefer quieter places. I was wondering if there is work there for an ESL teacher and if so how often do jobs come up? I would prefer part time work.

Any advice/opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks Mumbo and Unknown. Do you know if there is part time work available?....Full time scares me too much.

Thanks

i think yes.. try to ask them.

Chiang Rai is much quieter than Chiang Mai.

If you're lucky enough to get part-time work (and the powers that be clearly frown on it), you'll really get paid peanuts.
