What are the possibilities and requirements for working as an English Language Teacher or counselor in Thailand?
Changing jobs right now and would love to come to Thailand as English Language Teacher (Master of Applied Linguistics Australia) or to do counselling (Post Grad Dip in Counselling x2 New Zealand) in a school or private institution. Any advice from anyone about these possibilities I would be grateful to hear. Currently in Brisbane, Australia but ready to fly!

I don’t know your age, but I was told there is a cut off of 60 for more legitimate positions. I haven’t tried it, but that what my TEFL program warned me of. Best of luck. (I’m a retiring teacher of 3 decades in the US)

Lots of international schools in Vietnam, Thailand, or Malaysia. Decide where you would like to reside first - or at least start out, then search for taching jobs group. Danang Vietnam has a whole group dedicated to this ... I'm sure lots of cities or areas have the same.
