Where does the company you're going to work for suggest you go to get the visa? Many times they will recommend a consulate to use (and you should heed that advice) ;)
Read the requirements of the consulate you're going to use so you can have the documentation required..

I did mine in Vientiane, it went quite smoothly and the weight of opinion seems to be that it's the best option for new teacher hires. Make sure you have all the necessary docs including a passport sized photo and a photocopy of your employer's ID card.
