Can you please educate the ignorant (me) and explain TESOL certificate? Also, is bi-lingual US/Thai required? thanks.

Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). Certifies you to teach English as a second language. Most places do not require bilingualism to instruct English courses. Some places I have heard of prefer that you don't speak the local language as it forces the students to communicate with you in the language you are instructing.

No you don't need to be bi lingual. I've been told many government schools will have a Thai teaching assistant to help you. If your interested in teaching check out www.ajarn.com

I thought ChiangMai was quite expensive compared to Pattaya, its the 2nd most biggest city in Thailand.

 

in Issan, 20k top 30k could go a long way, as long as you grow your own rice, and chickens

For anybody with a pension or another source of income 20k-30k is a nice little bit of pocket change for part time work. gives you a bit of beer money.

[BigDUSA]

The salary offered can provide a guy who doesn't qualify for a pension with a legit job with work permit and a more then decent lifestyle.

 

Then again many guys on this forum go thru life looking down at their shoes and wonder why they never see the opportunities life has to offer.

i know an american guy in chiang mai who is a teacher (he was a high school teacher in california and relocated to thailand) and he earns 30k, he reckons he is better off money wise working and living in thailand, the rent on his 1 bedroomed apartment is 6,500 plus bills and the rest is all pocket money. but the job does have it's fair share of problems he is paid 30k and his thai teaching assistant who has to help with the translation in his classes works double the hours he does and she only gets paid 10-12k and they don't talk very much.....
