Hi there, I'm interested in learning more about ESL teaching in Cambodia as there are starting to be too many hoops to jump through in Thailand & the pay is rubbish, I have a good, internationally recognised TESOL cert. from Auz not Ko San road but no degree, how easy is it to get a job roughly what are the rates of pay? work permits etc?

Many thanks

Pay in Cambodia sucks worse than Thailand but it goes farther. No need for a work permit in theory but as anyone can get a work permit if they need one - no major issue if you do have to get one (cost $100). In Phnom Penh standard rate is about $12 an hour, in Siem Reap, Sihanoukville and Battambang - a bit less. In the rest of the country? A lot less.

If you are persistent about looking for work - most people seem to get part-time stuff within a fortnight and full-time within a couple of months in the major cities at least...

Ask on Khmer440; lots of teachers there.

From what I have seen on there, the market for teachers is quite saturated.

The government has started a crack-down on work permits.
