Thailand Tops As The Best TEFL Destination

There are so many destinations where you can teach English in Asia. Almost the whole Far East region doesn't speak great English, with the notable exception of the Philippines. And this region is coming up as the next big force in the world economy. Thus, they must speak great English to communicate with the world. To do that, they are spending a lot on learning better English. Some of the popular destinations in this part of the world would be Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China but Thailand would simply beat the rest of the countries as the best place to teach English in Asia. We would tell you why.

All these countries pay really well but when you take the purchasing power parity into consideration, Thailand stands out. It means, for the same amount of money, you can purchase more products and services in Thailand. In other words, you can lead a better life in Thailand with equal amount of money. 

Thailand has the best in the class salaries from the international schools but even if you are working with the language institutes, you would get enough to lead a decent life in the country. This is because accommodation, food, transport, services, leisure and pleasure all cost much less in Thailand. If that is not all, often many of these are included in the salary, like accommodation and the transport. With the natural beauty of Thailand being one of the best, you can't ignore the quality of life either.

Advantages of Doing TEFL in Thailand

Searching for a job abroad is often tricky. First of all, you might know very little about the country and even less about the potential employer. You can always take help of the recruitment agencies but then again, you don't know who to trust. The best situation would be to go there and look for a job. Then again, with no surety of getting a job, the whole time and money might get wasted.

These reasons don't work for TEFL teaching jobs in Thailand. Let us explain. If you are a native English speaker, from countries like UK, USA or Australia, and you have a bachelor’s degree, you can come to Thailand. Here, you can join a TEFL or TESOL training institute as a student and pass the certification. These institutes arrange for multiple job interviews for all their students. You can crack any of those and get the job.

These institutes have their own job network and they keep on adding the latest English teaching jobs in Thailand to this list regularly. These jobs are exclusively for their students. Thus, if you do your TEFL in your home country, you will never come across these vacancies. This is another advantage of doing your TEFL in the country itself.

Most of these institutes have great training teams who have the experience and the expertise to teach you not only the grammar of English but also the tricks and tips of scoring big in the test.

Reasons To Do Your TEFL In Thailand

Thailand is blessed with numbers of leading institutes offering TEFL course. The country also has the best international schools and some really good government schools. Then there are the universities, the best in Thailand, again. Combining everything this place is great landing spot for foreign bachelor degree holders who want to start a teaching career in Thailand.

To teach in Thailand, you need to be a native speaker of English. If you are, and you hold a bachelor degree, all you need is a TEFL certificate to qualify as a teacher.  Many foreigners come to Thailand without a TEFL or TESOL certificate and they do it here. There are so many institutes to choose from and each of these institutes, at least the ones who worth the course fee, have so well planned TEFL guidance courses. They employ foreign trainers who are experienced and know all the tricks of scoring high in the test. They keep the batch size small so these trainers can pay personal attention to each student. If you don't like to attend classes or can’t attend those, they offer online training as well. All in all, there is no reason for not doing your TEFL in Thailand.

And the best part? These institutes also arrange for job interviews for every successful student. The jobs in this city are well paid, have great perks and have great growth potential as well.
