There was always spaces on the next bus even when I was travelling during Songkran.

I only found this article (

/teaching-at-a-thai-university/) after my stint teaching English in Thailand, but it was the same as what I would have written. In fact, I wondered if it had been written by someone who’d picked my brain about my teaching experience. But, no it was published while I was still in high school! Nothing had changed in the meantime, and I’d hazard a guess that little has changed since.

Don’t get me wrong, you’ll be able to get better teaching jobs if you can speak Thai / have a degree / have qualifications etc. But the unfortunate fact is that in Thailand enough employers are desperate enough for teachers that everyone can get hired somewhere on the food chain.

Forget not speaking Thai, I saw numerous raging alcoholics keep teaching jobs because the schools had no-one to replace them.

Sounds like she’s trying to BS you into belie it’s necessary for some kind of commission.

I second the recommendation of an ED visa to study Thai. I did this, and the pace of the course was much slower than what I was motivated to study myself just to make life easier in Thailand.
