Does the culture course requirement make it unrealistic to come to Thailand looking for work?
The Thai culture course requirement came in several years ago as part of the new teacher licencing laws. It’s mostly taught over one weekend and the majority of teachers who have had to take it, viewed it as something of an annoying inconvenience. But once it’s done it’s done. Many teachers still haven’t taken the culture course at all and their employers have not forced them to. I don’t think having to take the course should put you off coming to look for work in Thailand. If you make your life living and working in Thailand, you’ll have far bigger hurdles to jump over than a solitary weekend Thai culture course.
