I was going to say that other countries are offering much more these days as I know friends kids teaching in China and Korea. Most of these don't need degrees either and are well looked after. Ok China maybe not great right now due to what is happening but they get given loads of perks including free accommodation and one flight home per year. Thailand needs to wake up if they want to educate their kids.
My son had a Zimbabwean maths teacher in his last year at school and we had to get him to move class. It wasn't the teaching, but the accent was so strong no one could understand him. I didn't believe the other kids until we went to a parents teacher meeting and I had no clue what the guy was saying either.

awwww, poor Zimbabwean guy. I don't think I've ever actually met someone from that country.
Korea tends to be fantastic wages, but since the Koreans generally don't interact with the foreigners who live there, they end up being a bit isolated and most people don't stay there very long.
I have a few Scottish friends who are teaching in Busan and they are looking to get out after 4 years. But the good news is they banked a LOT of money in that time and got in great shape from not having much of a drinking social life!
We have loads of Zimbabweans working here these days as it is a neighboring country. We like loads of companies here have stopped employing them. They are great workers and well educated but we had a 100 percent success rate of theft out of every one of them. This is a problem as most are working and sending money back to their families and they are desperate. It worked out cheaper to not employ them as their schemes are normally fairly well thought out and they take large sums.
