Nicole FregeauTeach in Thailand Participant, October 2018 at Anuban Prachinburi, Prachinburi
“My experience in Thailand was absolutely incredible. It completely transformed my life and the way that I see both myself and the world. Living and working in a culture so different from my own and building relationships with people who have had extremely different life experiences than me was arguably the greatest education I have ever received. In fact, one of my favorite parts of living in Thailand was that I learned something new every single day. Whether it was a new word in the Thai language, a fact about the history of Thailand, a lesson that taught me how to be a better educator, or something personal about myself, there was always something new for me to learn. I feel as though my experience in Thailand helped me to discover the best version of myself. It taught me about bravery, empathy, authenticity, trust, and kindness.”

"If you are already doing an exchange year, and spending so much money, you would like to choose a country, maybe you have never been to before, or don’t know anything about, it will probably be an experience for your life that you will never forget, instead of going to the mainstream country that you already know everything"

Katie GibbonsTeach in Thailand Participant, June 2019 at Sriwittayapaknam, Nakhon Pathom
"My experience teaching in Thailand was hands down the best year of my life! I initially signed up to teach abroad for only one term, but ended up staying longer because I completely fell in love with the students, culture, and beauty of Thailand. Moving to Thailand was a big step out of my comfort zone, but all of the OEG staff was so welcoming and really eased my nerves upon arrival. I learned so much at orientation and ended up meeting some of my best friends along the way! I could not have done it without OEG. Living in Thailand was one of the most rewarding and amazing opportunities I have ever had. If you are even halfway considering it, I say go for it! You only regret the chances you didn’t take. I am sure you will appreciate the “mai pen rai” [don’t worry] way of living as much as I did. From the incredible food, kind people, and breathtaking scenery – it’s impossible to not fall in love with Thailand! "

“From the moment we set foot in Thailand, we ran into problems with our credit card and were stuck in Suvarnabhumi Airport! We called OEG and they literally dropped everything to come and collect us. If we had any doubts about whether we had chosen the correct organization to teach in Thailand or not, they were wiped away in an instant. We always tell people that OEG was there to support us from day 1, and continue to do so up until today as OEG alumnus.
Our 1 year program with OEG really gave us a strong foundation to gain valuable teaching experience, as well as navigating all the challenges of living in Thailand. Once we completed the OEG program, we were able to use that experience to apply to other schools in Thailand, and are currently teaching in our 2nd year at a private girls school.”
