Discover Thailand While You Teach and Earn

Thailand has a lower cost of living than most Western countries, and many new teachers find they can live comfortably and have enough left over to experience all that the country has to offer.

It’s a great way to build your teaching experience, earn an income, immerse yourself in one of the world’s richest cultures, and experience a very different pace of life – all at the same time.

Thailand Makes it Possible to Live Well While You Teach

Thailand is one of the most established places in Asia to start teaching English. There’s steady demand for teachers, the cost of living is relatively low, and daily life is generally relaxed and easy to settle into. Alongside your teaching, you’ll have the chance to experience Thai culture beyond the classroom.

You can teach in Bangkok or Chiang Mai, where the majority of teaching opportunities are based. Bangkok offers big-city energy and variety, while Chiang Mai has a more laid-back vibe.

There are also opportunities in other towns and regions across the country.

Get Ready to Teach in Just 4 Weeks

The TEFL course runs full-time for four weeks in Chiang Mai. You’ll finish with a TEFL certificate, hands-on classroom experience, and the confidence to step into your first teaching role in Thailand or beyond.

After the course, many graduates stay in Thailand and look for work in government schools, private schools, language centres, or tutoring roles.

Being in the country gives you a clear advantage when it comes to finding work, particularly in cities like Bangkok and Chiang Mai where most teaching opportunities are based.

Why enrol through School of TEFL? A Personal Note

I started School of TEFL because I know what it’s like to look at TEFL courses and wonder who to trust – or whether it’s even the right step. When I started out, I wanted straight answers, real support, and a course that would actually prepare me for the classroom.

That’s what we offer here.

When you enrol through School of TEFL, you’ll take the same accredited course delivered by our partner, SEE TEFL. But we also try to make the process a little easier – at the moment we’re offering $100 off your deposit, and if you complete the Thailand course in full but don’t pass, we’ll refund that deposit entirely.

You’ll also have ongoing support from people who’ve done this themselves, and optional access to our Grammar Course is included at no extra cost.

We aren’t a big corporate operation. We’re a small, friendly team – and we’ll treat you like a person, not a sale.

If you’ve read this far, you’re probably serious about making a change. I’d love to help you work out whether this is the right next step for you.
