You’re far better off teaching it in Germany. There’s no money in doing any work as a foreigners in Thailand in general!

Just because you speak English does not mean you can teach it. How would you communicate with students who only speak Thai? It's not as simple as it sounds

If you do not have a university degree in any subject, you can not legally get a work permit to teach. Your university degree also has to be certified as being real

Try Ajarn-dot-com or Dave's ESL Cafe website. Can also make a resume, dress like an Eglish teacher, and visit all the Schools asking to see the English dept manager. It works!
