TEFL Courses & Teaching Work in Thailand

Many English language teachers take jobs in public schools in Thailand. Teaching jobs in Thailand are available in the private sector as well, however, and these are often salaried at a higher level than the public schools. An average workweek is usually 25-30 hours, including class time and preparation. Schools usually open at 8:00am and generally close at 3:00pm. A typical teaching day consists of five lessons and then planning time.

Typical wages for English language teachers range from US$800-$1,200/month. (Benefits vary greatly from school to school.) Salaries are always paid in baht and are usually paid at the end of the month. As you would expect, the larger cities have higher living costs, but pay rates are also higher. Local living expenses are low: about US$500/month. Most English language teachers can earn enough to live very comfortably, enjoy local entertainment and restaurants and travel to local attractions.

All of the Thailand TEFL TESOL course participants receive job search guidance in the primary focus area in and around Pattaya, Rayong, Chonburi, Bangkok, and other cities in South-Central Thailand.
