I’m a farang but look like a Thai. Why don’t schools seem to want me?
It’s all about changing the mindset of the employers, particularly the Thais. Many Thai school owners tend to have a pre-conceived idea about what a farang teacher should look like. It’s all about finding a school that will give you ‘a chance’. They are out there - you just haven’t found one yet. Once you get into the classroom and do your thing, and the students warm to you and recognise your qualities, you’ll be fine. How does the saying go - you might need to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince.
