Hi there Phuketian's,

Can anyone inform me of my chances of getting a teaching job somewhere in the Phuket area?

I am currently working in Bangkok....a volunteer from Australia working with the Thai government, looking at environmental aspects of the thai national school curriculum.

I love Thailand but need to get out of Bangkok and closer to the beach and fresh air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am currently studying to be a science teacher however i am not yet qualified....so i guess that is a useless piece of information - ha.

Also i am a native english speaker which i know is a big requirement for many teaching jobs.

If anyone can assist me with some contacts/websites/etc i will be very grateful.

P.S phut thai daay nii noy kah!!

Happy Songkran!!!

How far into your science degree are you ?

What is your present visa category ?

Are you working in the Education Ministry ?

Try the Rajahbats.. they are always on the lookout for native speakers.. usually a BS or BA will do it.. Look the part, dress the part, and you'll be golden.. Usually, you can find former volunteers working in the department. The private schools, well that is a shot in the dark.. as you know.. the private school do tend to overindulge the kids. Cheers and good luck

Dr Pat Pong,

I have a Bachelor of Science in environmental management.

I am currently studying my Diploma of Education (science) via distance education. I have completed 5 of the 8 subjects required to complete the course.

Currently i have a 2 year working visa - however if/when i resign from my current position as a volunteer i will lose this visa status.

I currently work under the Ministry for Environment and Natural Resources in the Environmental Education Section.

It's a bit of a tough decision to quit my current job as i am lucky to have a two year visa. However, i find the Government system rather frustrating and i feel my skills are not being used efficiently here, also and i am not particularly enjoying the Bangkok lifestyle.

Any help will be appreciated!!! Do you currently work in Phuket?

Regards

Belinda

Try Patong Language School and speak to Stephan, the money wont be the best but you will get lots of experience.
