Paid TEFL Thailand Internship LAST FEW PLACES
Thailand has always been a favorite among TEFL teachers worldwide, and the “Rose of the North,” Chiang Mai, is an unmatched place to plant yourself.
Nowhere else is the gentle, easy-going nature of the Thai people on more display than in chilled out Chiang Mai.
This culture hub promises adventure of all kinds—waterfalls, temples, street food, meaningful friendships—and puts you right in the heart of hill country culture.
Whether bemusing golden Buddhas, bartering at night bazaars, or befriending elephants, TEFL internships in Chiang Mai, Thailand promise an experience unlike any other.

Before you go
You’ll have an application form to fill out and documents to submit, a video chat and then you’ll be on your way.Your Teaching Experience
Orientation will be a blur of excitement: some lessons you’ll receive (customs and culture!) and some lessons you’ll give (practice runs before your first official English class!). Well-fed in both belly and soul—and refreshed thanks to two weeks in an eco-resort—it’s officially time to launch your TEFL in Thailand career.
Placements are in formal Thai schools, but will vary from kindergarten to college-level institutions. Your students’ age group will depend on the availability and need of our partners.
Expect to work Monday-Friday, from ~7:30am to 4:00pm. You’ll lead ~15-20 hours of English classes each week, leaving you time for extracurricular support, prepping future lessons, or grading your students’ latest essays.
Since the learning goes both ways, enter each day eager and humble. Follow professional norms by dressing neatly to honor the hierarchy within schools and the monarchy.

Thailand has low living costs compared to Western standards, your monthly living allowance of 30,000-34,000 Thai Baht will allow a very comfortable lifestyle while you’re teaching in Thailand.
