Awesome experience. They will love you. Get the TEFL. Do it online. I did. I used The TEFL Academy. It will take about a month. Nice and cheap no one cares where or how you got it. Don’t fall victim to the high price scams and vision of grandeur. They are experts at SEO marketing and sales not getting you a job.
Don’t waste your time applying for jobs in Thailand from outside the country. Get your TEFL, go to Thailand, get a job. This was the advice I got from someone online and that’s what I did.
Don’t waste your time on those teaching jobs in Thailand groups.
Start studying the job posting on ajarn but don’t apply. Once they know your here they will call you. Get your profile ready for ajarn.com. Make sure it shows you are now in Thailand. Schools will call you.
