Thailand is truly one of the most desired destinations for foreigners. People are nice, places are beautiful and food are incredible etc. The weather is hot and very hot for some periods and some area but yet the places are still quite safe from natural disaster.

Most importantly, there are still many career opportunities for everyone, especially for English teachers.

Even though Thailand is one of the most developed countries in South East Asia but there are still limited numbers of population who can speak English.

Thai people can speak English but many of them are too shy to talk to foreigners because it is almost normal for Thai people to be polite and shy especially with the Westerners.

This is a gap for native English speakers to go and teach Thai people. If you have a chance to teach them, not only teach them how to speak, but also teach them not to be shy as well.

One of the advantages for teaching English in Thailand is that it is possible to be an English teacher there without a degree but it is usually in the form of volunteer with some non-profit organizations. You can go to an up country area to be a volunteer English teacher. There are more opportunies up there.

You can surely be happy from relaxing Thai way of living, but in term of money, volunteer teacher is not your answer.
