During the semesters, when there is an open position, the school will not wait for the teacher to set up his/her travelling arrangements, they need a teacher urgently. If you come from the Philippines or Africa why would they even consider reading your email as there are more teachers here than positions for these nationalities, you have to be here. If you are a lovely Native English speaker with a Bachelor degree and who knows how to teach, why hesitate just come over with your documents; there are more positions than teachers applying

I see on the job board that so many schools require a bachelor degree?
* 2008, the Ministry of Education (MOE), sent a letter to all Thai schools, Labour dep.,Immigration saying; All foreigners have to hold a min. Bachelor Degree eq. to work in Thai schools as teachers Later the Ministry backed off a bit and opened a back door where teachers who do not hold a bachelor can seek a temp. work permit (max. 2 years/at time) but a letter saying so has NOT gone out to the Thai schools so most of them still think that the teachers have to have one.
