OEG Teach in Thailand is such an amazing program! My school placement was perfect for me. I got to make great friends, teach really sweet kids all week, and have weekend adventures around Thailand. Plus it was always great knowing that OEG was there to help and support me if I had any problems.

“I originally joined the Teach in Thailand program with the intention of only staying 6 months. That 6 months quickly changed into a year and that year became another. What was supposed to be a 6-month experience, turned into an almost 2-year adventure. No words, in any language, could accurately express how much I loved teaching in Thailand. It was the most challenging thing I have yet to do with my life, but also the most rewarding by far. It certainly had its ups and downs, but I think that is the beauty of an experience like this. It offers you an unfiltered look at not only a new culture, but also yourself. The challenges I faced in Thailand pushed me and forced me to learn more about myself than I ever thought possible. The things you learn in an experience like this are invaluable to you whether you would like to continue teaching or not. I will always be grateful to the Teach in Thailand program and to OEG—for the experience, for the culture, for the growth, and most importantly for some of the best friends I will ever have. If you treat this experience with the care, hard work, and respect it deserves, I promise you will not be disappointed. So, get out there and see what the world has to offer!”

At Marcellin College, I was lucky to have a helpful buddy. The teacher and students were very welcoming and the subjects were easier than in Thailand.
I never thought that everyone in the group that came together from Thailand would get close to each other this fast. Surprisingly, we got extremely close to each other on the second day. We did all the fun activities together and built a wonderful bond with each other. My favorite activity was going to Auckland Zoo and seeing different animals.

“Teaching in Thailand was definitely an experience that has changed my life. I was in my placement for about a year, a very small town in Northeast Thailand, while there were definitely some struggles (for example that time I didn’t have any access to running water for about two weeks during a drought) I’ve learned so much from them and I wouldn’t have changed anything for the world.”
