Response from TravelBud
Dear Nydia,
Thank you so much for your review. It is so great to hear that you are enjoying all the wonderful experiences that teaching in Thailand has presented thus far. From my personal experience teaching in Thailand, I can confirm that this is such an amazing opportunity to not only learn to appreciate different cultures, but to also experience real personal growth. I am so happy to hear that you had such a great experience dealing with Kim, and that you were able to relate to her when it comes to dealing with life abroad as a person of colour.
Regarding job security in Thailand, the schools do have the liberty and final decision to hire new teachers at will. The process does depend on who the school wants to interview, budget, how ready they are in terms of documents and the first impression made across videos, resumes and during potential video Interviews, but it is very rare for a teacher to be let go from the school. The school is also governed by the labour laws of the country which can also be very different to that of our own home country which is why, depending on the reason for being let go, you have the support to be placed elsewhere.
Regarding your comment around teaching on a tourist visa, It's the norm to have teachers arrive in Thailand on a Tourist Visa and then switch to a Non B Visa within a few weeks after they start teaching. As long as schools can prove they are in process of completing correct visa paperwork and work permit paperwork, protocol is being followed whilst the application is being processed. If a teacher has all the legalized documents in order from the beginning they will be able to switch to a Non B Visa very quickly. If their legalized degree or other paperwork takes a long time it will lengthen the process as a whole. Luckily our teachers have constant support through the process :)
Adjusting to living in the Land of Smiles can be full of ups and downs, and I can tell you from personal experience that it is important to be willing to put the work in to get the most out of all the experiences on offer. It makes us happy to hear that you are enjoying every moment of teaching and living abroad.
Stay well Nydia, and keep enjoying Thailand.
Warm Regards,
Ben & The TravelBud Team
