Hi there, ive just come back from a trip around Asia. I'd recommend teaching in Pattaya if your after sun 'n' sea. I'd also recommend teaching in Chang Mai if you want to be amongst on Thai people during and after teaching hours. You also mention you're heading to Burma & Laos, i strongly recommend doing your homework on Burma (now called Myanmar)........... The regime which run and control the country are very strict and their presence everywhere is quiet intense. What happens in Burma is very rarely heard of outside Burma. But i must say the burmese are among the most polite and warming people in the world, they will go out of their way to assist you just like Philippino's!!!!! Enjoy your trip....................

There are 2 very good web sites that list the available English teaching positions throughout Thailand. http://www.ajarn.com http://www.ajarnjobspace.com The second site lists the jobs by region and they have a nifty map that you can click on and it will give you the available jobs in that location. Just start clicking around on the coastal sections in Southern Thailand. There are positions offered in many coastal cities. Most schools require a 1-year contract. You'll need a degree and either a TEFL or CELTA certificate as well. The first site I mentioned is a great source of info for new teachers. Check it out.

Krabi is a nice place to go. Very beautiful.

Krabi, Hua Hin , Koh Samui , are real nice places to go . I wouldn't go to Phuket or pattaya because it's not as nice there anymore . In my opinion , I love Hua Hin . Pattaya has a lot of prostitutes now so we don't go there as much. I travel to Thailand evry year with my family , because my parents grew up in Thailand and Laos. But everywhere in Thailand is real nice

You might try Prince of Songkhla Uni down south. It's handy for the southern resort areas. Krabi I think only has one school so would be hard to crack, but I could be wrong. It's the nicest place by a mile. There are a bunch of schools in Phuket, but that's a relatively expensive place to live [if you wanna live that is] Someone mentioned www.ajarn.com That's a good site for hooking up an interview or 2 . Goodluck
