Hey everyone. I'm currently a graduate student in Arizona working on my Master's in Teaching Science. I received my undergrad in Biology with an emphasis in Genetics, Cell, and Developmental Biology with a minor in Poli Sci. I have to teach for two years in a high-needs school in the U.S. but before I do it, when I graduate in Dec. 2016, I want to teach English or Science in Thailand. My ultimate goal is to become an expat after I finish my two years in the U.S. My dad has been to Thailand numerous times and he suggested Khon Kaen or Nong Khai. I'll be 25 when I'm planning to go. What are the pros and cons of these areas for a youngish, female teacher? Are jobs fairly easy to come by with a U.S. Masters degree? Are there any other areas that are good for U.S. teachers? Any and all information is much appreciated!

Can't tell you much about those two areas, but you might want to visit http://www.ajarn.com/ (ajarn means professor)
Another site worth taking a look at is http://studyinthailand.org/which has a lot of information on university education in Thailand

There are a lot of great places to live and work in Thailand. The north is very nice, in places like Phayao, Chiang Mai, but it will depend on the level at which you want to teach.
