Locations and Placements
Choose the right placement for you!
Placements in Thailand differ largely across the country. From salary and lifestyle to affordability and population density.
We have many placements available year-round, especially at the beginning of every semester (May and November). Applying during this time provides you with the most options to find a suitable placement.
However, even after the semester begins, we continue to place teachers every month. If you are unable to start on time, it’s no problem to come to Thailand after the semester has begun. We have a variety of different schools located in different regions, rural communities, and in the city.
How are they different?
City Schools :
The cost of living in the city is higher but things are much more accessible and public transportation makes it easy to travel around. However, the school in the city always have a higher teaching standard. The schools are quite strict with the lesson plans and the teacher much be very professional. Schools in the city are best suited for individuals who already have teaching experience.
Tourist – Rich Areas :
Tourist areas provide a very picturesque teaching experience, with immediate access to popular tourist attractions. The downside to teaching in tourist-rich areas is that living costs tend to be higher due to the tourism industry, so saving can be difficult. Teaching positions in these areas are also highly sought after, so placements can be limited. An open mind is important when applying for a placement in these areas.
***These areas include Chumphon, Trang, Krabi, Hatyai, Surat Thani, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Chonburi, and Rayong.
