It’s been Thai-riffic!!

Wow! I’ve truly enjoyed my experience traveling and teaching in Thailand. Cassidy and Mile are amazing supports! The entire team in Thailand was so kind and helpful. They provide you with great cultural knowledge, and tips on how to respond to cultural situations.

I’m glad to have said yes and learn a new way of living and stepping outside my comfort zone! I’ve gotten to explore and see different parts of the country too which has been a dream come true!

The placement process is a hit or miss, but trust that you’re placed exactly where you’re supposed to be, embrace the ADVENTURE.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My best advice for my program in Thailand is; bring a portable fan, umbrella, deet bug spray, sunglasses, bathroom wipes, travel tissues, slippers, good walking shoes, and travel Clorox wipes!
Be sure you ask as many questions as possible regarding the dress code for your specific school and go with the expectation that you’ll be challenged and overcome different obstacles, develop as a person, and experience forever memories!
Pros
  • Personal growth
  • New experiences
  • Remarkable adventure
Cons
  • Fear of food illness
  • Lots of down time, would rather be able to leave between classes.
  • Full time hours. No time to explore during the week days due to most places closing early.

It's never too late to start a new adventure!

As a member of Generation X, I once thought that working and living abroad was not for me - maybe it was too late. I took a big step by enrolling in the TESOL Program with XploreAsia. From the beginning, their team was supportive, kind, and genuinely helpful. Now I've been living here for some time, and the journey is still going strong.

Of course, it's not all a bed of roses. Living in a new country comes with ups and downs, and challenges, especially when Thai policies seem to change overnight. But knowing that I have the ongoing support of XploreAsia makes all the difference.

What I appreciate is that they continue to offer ongoing support- Community support and Mentorship.

For anyone thinking about teaching and living abroad, I highly recommend XploreAsia. Their care don't stop when the course ends!

What would you improve about this program?
The transport from the accommodation to class would have been helpful. I suggest including the cost in the course or offering it as an optional contribution, similar to the excursion arrangement.
Pros
  • Pros during the program: The team and the Instructor were very supportive.
  • The Thai language classes were helpful.
  • The Muay Thai session was enjoyable.
Cons
  • After writing the exam, additional classes were held, but i felt my attention span was low.
  • Transport from the accommodation to the school would have been helpful.

Dream job made possible!

I am absolutely thrilled with the service I received from Xplore Asia! They helped me land a job I absolutely love in Nakhon Pathom. The team was professional, supportive, and went above and beyond to ensure I found the perfect fit. Their expertise and network in the industry are truly impressive. If you're looking for a career opportunity in Asia, I highly recommend Xplore Asia - they've changed my life for the better! They have a deep understanding of the job market in Asia, and were able to connect me with top employers in my field. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with such a talented and dedicated team.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Be open-minded, flexible, and ready for the unexpected, it's all part of the journey!
Immerse yourself in the local culture, try the new foods and make friends with fellow travelers.
Pros
  • Networking opportunities, I connected with allot of like minded people
  • Skill development
  • Personal growth
Cons
  • The structure of the program is rigid and demanding

Would recommend! *with a note*

I can say for sure that I would have never been able to make such a huge move like this with out the continued support of Xplore Asia. The training program itself was one of the best months of my life. I would recommend Xplore to a friend. I would also, though, emphasize the mental and emotional toll a kind of move and job like this might take. This is where I feel Xplore could do a bit better- offering students more sufficient warnings and proper preparation for what's to come in combination with the coursework.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Placements vary heavily in terms of workload and its kind of like getting your name pulled out of a hat. You might get one that's really demanding and not at all what you initially expected. While you're never trapped at a job, once you're in it, its not an easy (or cheap) thing to undo. So leave your perception of teaching as means to fund your traveling at the door. The hours are long and your placement has the potential to be very demanding work! It can also be really rewarding work, though, and can be fun and magical! The best advice I can give is really to assess what your goals are within yourself and for your traveling- do research on teaching in Thailand and really think about if its the right choice for you. Do you want to be a free bird or are you prepared to commit to your work and do your traveling every other weekend or so? Also, ask as many questions as possible about your placement ahead of time.
Pros
  • Wonderful people
  • Felt empowered in the classroom
  • Really fun
Cons
  • The acomadation
  • A lot of work was demanded but not graded with the same level of importance
  • communication often feels poor with agency

Had a great time on the course, instructors and placement team were all amazing!

A few hiccups in the beginning, with not finding out about the university program until after booking everything. Which was followed by more required payments. But nonetheless, having a great time in my new job at Saiaksorn, and very glad I took this jump to Thailand.

Can see myself here for a long time.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
We become very talented at talking ourselves out of things as we grow up. Book the ticket.
Pros
  • Enjoying work again.
  • Not richer, but much wealthier.
  • Amazing fruit!
Cons
  • Unintentionally ordering the wrong food when learning Thai.
  • A few ego clashes in the group which disturbed the peace but thankfully didn't last long.

Best life decision to date

I recently completed my TEFL course with Xplore Asia, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The training was thorough and incredibly well-structured. Our instructor, Gary, was fantastic — knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about teaching. The practical teaching sessions with local students were especially valuable and gave me real confidence in the classroom.

Now that I’m placed in my school, I can honestly say I love it here. The environment is welcoming, the students are honestly amazing, and I feel so, so happy right now. I'm truly grateful to Xplore Asia for making this journey possible!

Sometimes along the journey, you expect things to unfold a certain way — but life has a way of surprising you. What you thought you didn’t want can turn out to be exactly what you needed, and often, it works out even better than you ever imagined. Don’t give up when things seem hard, it will all pay off in the end!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I could do this all over again, I’d tell myself to just relax and trust the process. It’s so easy to get caught up in stress and panic when things don’t go as planned, but looking at how everything turned out, I definitely could’ve let go a little and enjoyed the experience more!
Pros
  • Massive confidence booster
  • Placed in an amazing school
  • Made friends for life
Cons
  • Moments of uncertainty can cause stress

Amazing Experience and Support

They were very helpful and friendly from the start, guiding me through the TESOL course, job placement, and settling in Thailand. They helped me find an apartment, offered lesson planning support, and made the move smooth and stress-free. Years later, they still supported me by providing a recommendation letter. I’ve now been teaching in Asia for six years and love it. I wouldn’t be where I am today without their amazing support, guidance, and genuine care throughout the journey. Just want to thank them for an amazing service!

Best preparation for a new adventure

From the moment I was put in touch with Xplore Asia the process was extremely straightforward and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Questions were answered before they needed to be asked the whole process was made so easy by their attention to detail. This didn’t stop upon arrival either. Everything was extremely well organised and logical.Every effort was made to ensure that everyone could get the most out of the week and set us up to succeed in the daunting challenge of living in a new country Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in pursuing a similar opportunity.
