Is Thailand still the best bet for TEFLers in SE Asia?

Or has the crown slipped just a little?

It’s not the wild frontier it once was, and it’s not the best place to save a ton of cash. But if you're looking for somewhere to live, work, and not lose your mind while navigating the school year, Thailand is still hard to beat.

What lies ahead for Thailand's foreign teachers?

Postbox letter from David

Is it ever likely that foreign English teachers will be sincerely welcomed into Thailand and compensated not only in a manner commensurate with our qualifications and expertise, but also in a context relative to the significant contributions we bring to Thailand and its people?
