A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Thailand
Prepare for Teach Abroad
Set Goals
Setting clear goals will help you maximize your teaching experience in Thailand. Here are some ideas for establishing meaningful objectives:
- Research and read about the teaching styles and expectations of the Thai education system. Take note of the relationships and dynamics of fellow teachers with their classrooms and work toward emulating something similar that works for you.
- Continue to learn or brush up on the Thai language! If there wasn’t a strict language requirement for your program, it’s a great way to foster more meaningful interactions and relationships with students and staff alike.
- Find a hobby or interest that you already like within Thai culture. Connect with people and learn more about Thailand’s culture and history through it.
Understand the Benefits
Teaching in Thailand brings a unique set of rewards, from personal growth to resume-building achievements:
- Become a better, more inclusive teacher. Teaching abroad can help you become more empathetic and understanding of different learning styles, cultures, and ways to teach.
- Great food. The affordability and the deliciousness of every meal on the street or in a restaurant in Thailand is downright astounding. It’s actually cheaper and more affordable to eat out than at home. It’s a part of the culture and is a bright spot of the country’s culture.
- Location, location, location. Thailand is situated in a roughly centralized location within the Asian continent, making it a great home base. It also isn’t a bad option if you’re looking to travel south toward Australia or New Zealand.
Things to Know
To succeed in Thailand, it helps to understand a few key aspects:
- Language: Learning basic Thai can make a big difference. Always check for language requirements for any program. For younger generations, English has become a required class so don’t fret if you’re not fluent in Thai. Consider learning the basics to better communicate with your school and in the country.
- Visa requirements: Check with your program requirements or the host country’s embassy for up-to-date and current details. Look into whether you’ll need additional paperwork for traveling, working, or volunteering. All individuals will need a nonimmigrant visa, but the process and requirements will depend ultimately on your nationality.
- Cultural etiquette: Respect, politeness, and patience are highly valued in Thai society and the workplace. Knowing how to greet someone else is important! Commonly, you’ll find some form of the wai. It’s a gesture that looks like placing your palms together at chest height and then lightly bowing your head. Thai people operate from a stance of respect and value politeness, patience, and mindfulness.
