Let’s have a chat with Mr Barry Cowger. He taught for a couple of years in Europe and moved to Thailand almost a year ago. Even in that short time, he’s experienced a couple of Thai primary schools and designed an English program that got approval from none other than the local mayor.
Erika Stevenson
5th February 2008
One reader emailed me to say that there aren’t enough dames doing these hot seat interviews. OK, why should the lads have all the fun? Erika Stevenson has been working at Rajamangala University in Songkhla for the past two years and she’s got a few experiences she’s just dying to share. Take it away girl.

One area that many TEFLers show an interest in is hotel teaching. Can you imagine a job where your work environment is a five-star luxury hotel surrounded by swaying palms and waves lapping on to some private beach. And you probably only have to teach a couple of hours a day as well. Is it really as good as all that? Step forward Preston Dixon - a teacher at a hotel resort on Thailand’s Koh Samui.

Andy Hill
16th May 2007
Andy H (or Aitch as he’s better known) is the webmaster behind Mrroomfinder.com, one of Thailand’s most popular apartment websites. What a lot of people don’t know is that this extremely likable Cambridge lad was teaching in Bangkok as long ago as 1994. Since then, life has been something of a roller-coaster. Say what you like about Aitch, he’s always got an interesting tale to tell.
Ralph Sasser
6th April 2007
Ralph Sasser doesn’t hold down a ‘big position’ in Thailand’s EFL business and he has no illusions of grandeur. He came to Thailand purely because it felt like home and happiness was of paramount importance. He’s a regular guy and a regular teacher.
