about Teaching English in Thailand

What are the Negatives of Teaching English in Thailand?

The biggest negative is that it is not "home"

You are away from family and friends. You are away from the comfortable and familiar. Actually for many, this is a HUGE plus!

Finding the negatives of living in any foreign society and culture is easy. Many people seem to think that if it is not like home, it must be bad.

Of course there is culture shock. Of course things are different. Of course people are speaking in a totally incomprehensible language. But what would be the point of going to Thailand if everything was just like home?

Some People Complain!

If you go to bulletin boards on the Internet you are likely to read many negative things. Some people complain about the housing. Some people complain about not being paid on time. Some people complain about the culture. Some people complain about the food. Some people complain about health care. Some people complain about the working conditions. Some people complain about the hassles dealing with government officials (but don’t we all, even in our home countries). Some people complain about the dangers of driving! Some people complain!

Thailand is not your home country, don’t expect it to be. The Thais have their own way of doing things, whether visiting foreigners like it or not. The way they do things may not make sense to you, but many of the things other countries do don’t make sense to Thai people either.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Teach English in China

Thailand versus China ??

In China you can earn about the same wages as Thailand, but you get free accommodation and much more, so you do much better at saving money.

This short-term internship program costs HALF of what a TEFL Certification in Thailand would cost and will have you on the job earning a 140 TEFL certification with over 200 hours of practical teaching experience. Do that while earning an internship stipend equal to the wages of many jobs in Thailand and you will get free accommodation and more.
