	This placement would suit... volunteers with a love of teaching as well as a genuine desire to make a difference. You’ll be teaching both youngsters and adults, so come prepared to take rather different classes. The youngsters will need patience and boundless energy to keep them entertained, but the rewards are well worth it! Working with children can be fun and exciting but you never know what they are going to do next so be prepared for every eventuality! The stunningly beautiful country of Thailand, world-famous for its pristine white sand beaches, lies on the coast of southern Asia with the Gulf of Thailand to the south and the Andaman Sea to the west. Bordering countries include the fascinating and less discovered countries of Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and Myanmar. Thailand is undoubtedly the most popular destination in Southeast Asia, attracting more visitors every year than any of its neighbours so it's not surprising that teaching English here is equally popular. The thriving tourist industry in Thailand has created a massive demand for English language skills and TEFL teachers are now in high demand. The majority of jobs available involve teaching young children, but there are also a number of positions available teaching business English to executives. It is notoriously difficult to secure teaching jobs from outside the country but i-to-i's TEFL Jobs Abroad facility allows you to arrange your teaching placement before you go, so you don't have to wander around looking for work when you get there.
