Is there currently an oversupply of teachers?

What's the reality for expats disillusioned with their homeland?

Is a new wave of teacher arriving? - not by design, but out of necessity. Across Europe for example, people are feeling the squeeze of rising costs, political frustrations, and a general sense that their home country just isn’t what it used to be. So why not give teaching in Thailand a go?


Why not live your best life?

Postbox letter from Ricky

Little did I know, my midlife crisis would lead me to the adventure of a lifetime - teaching in Thailand!


My first year as a teacher in Thailand

The highs and the lows and what I've learned.

Now that this academic year is winding down, I reflect on my first year with a lot of mixed feelings. There have been a lot of awesome moments where I really felt like a teacher. I really felt like I was getting through to the students and I was the getting the job done.


We all have choices

Postbox letter from Jack

Yes, ESL job wages are pretty crappy and the salaries are lower here (considering inflation) than they were 10 to 15 years ago. So what?
