The GoTEFL training and placement program in Chiang Mai was one of the most fun experiences I have ever had. We lived together, learned together, taught together and experienced Thai culture together. The trainers were helpful and involved with us every step of the way-in the classroom and out of the classroom. The cultural excursions were a HUGE help to gaining insight into Thai culture, seeing the beauty of Chiang Mai and getting to know our colleagues. The program really made my transition to Thailand easy and feel like I already had a home.
What would you improve about this program?
I think for me it was just budgeting. I didnt really know how much money I would be spending on the visas, housing, eating, etc. It would be nice to get a kind of budget or idea of how much you spend when you get here--since we have 2 months without pay.
