To be hired as an English Teacher in Thailand. I have heard about the discrimination against non western folks in securing a job as an English Teacher. They have this silly idea that a "farang" (Ang Mo) will be a better English teacher even if he may not come from a native English speaking country (Eg, France and Germany)
Its a bit discouraging but I have already prepared myself for this reality to haapen actually. So most probably I will need to activate my Plan B instead; Seting up my own little private tuition center here in Maesai or Chiang Mai. Starting a buisness is no joke as it involves more money and time. Moreover, I might need to work out my work permit by myself if I'm not employed by a school. Which is the one major reason I wished to get employed. To understand how to get that work permit first hand before I go on my own.
Anyway, I still have till end of the month to get a job. April will be tough as Songkran is in that month and I beleive the schools stop their hiring process during that period. May will be the new school term so I have less than 2 weeks before reality sets in.

Quite sad to hear that but really if we imagined an ang mo teaching chinese too. It shall be expected there though. Worse come to worse bangkok dude. By the way your knowledge in IT may have some advantages. I remember there a chinese school(inside the temple) opposite piyaporn hotel. Have you try it? All the best though.
All the best! Hang in there for a little while and I am sure you will get a job.
