After starting off as a salaried teacher at a private language school, Jason got the idea to supply teachers to Thai schools and became what’s effectively known as an ‘agent’. Since then he’s never looked back and now provides teachers to several schools in the Rangsit area
Jono Blaze
30th January 2010
About five years ago - maybe more - we featured a teacher called Jono Blaze in an article on ajarn.com. Jono’s was the ultimate teacher done good story. He gave up the teaching and opened Momma’s, his very own British restaurant in Sukhumwit Soi 23. Then after rave reviews from ex-pats, the restaurant literally disappeared. The question on everyone’s lips - whatever happened to Jono? Well, the man’s back!

Some teachers luck out in Thailand and find something that they truly enjoy doing. But you have to admit - few things would beat becoming the coach of Thailand’s national ice hockey team!
Mark Reynolds
9th September 2009
It’s fair to say that Mark’s Thailand TEFL career was nothing out of the ordinary, but you might say that he knew just when to quit, and how to plan for the future.
Tony Sandford
2nd June 2009
Our last interview with a TEFL course trainer was David Solomon way back in 2007. Let’s update things a little and have a chat with Tony Sanford, a trainer for the TEFL course program up at Chiang Mai University.
James Parsons
22nd April 2009
James Parsons has spent much of his teaching career hopping between Korea and Thailand. He’s dabbled in Thailand’s property market and he’s done more visa runs than you’ve had hot dinners.
Mike Thompson

Mike Thompson is an Asian American from California. He admits that his Asian appearance put many employers off when he started looking for teaching work in Thailand, but slowly he’s turned things around. It hasn’t been easy though.
Cat and Fernanda
28th November 2008
When I first considered teaching English abroad, I bought myself a book called “Teach English Around the World’. It promised experiences beyond my wildest dreams and while the sound of teaching in exotic locations was undoubtedly appealing, Thailand was as far as I got. It’s therefore a great pleasure to talk to not one, but two globetrotters who have literally ‘taught English around the world’. Step forward Catriona and Fernanda - two fine ladies, both working for the British Council in Bangkok. It’s ajarn com’s first ‘double interview’ folks.
Court Merrigan
14th November 2008
Court has taught English in Thailand for five years. He’s a prolific writer of articles and short stories and an ardent supporter of something called Creative Commons. He’s also hopefully about to return to the USA with his good lady wife. Let’s delve a little deeper.
Donald Patnaude
28th October 2008
A familiar path that many teachers tread in Thailand is to start at the ‘200 baht an hour’ language schools and work their way up. Eventually you might even be lucky enough to open your own language school. Donald Patnaude is one such man.
