Teaching overview in Thailand:	Most teaching jobs are found locally rather than on the internet, and the pay is just enough to allow for a decent living. A teaching certificate is highly recommended, as it increases your chances of finding a good teaching job. Jobs can generally be found year round, and opportunities dry up just after the New Year. Most teachers teach on a tourist visa or non-immigrant visa. Medical recommendations: http://www.mdtravelhealth.com/destinations/asia/thailand.html
