 The top place to teach English in Thailand, Esan. If you are looking for a more authentic Thai experience, in an area that has not been developed simply to please the tourist market, then the northeastern region of Esan might be perfect for you. This huge area is home to several medium-sized cities, that offer plenty of opportunities to teach in government schools. While you should not expect to get rich working in this environment, the local cost of living is the lowest in the country, so you should still be able to live well on your salary. The majority of teaching jobs are found in the four main cities of Korat, Khon Kain, Uban Ratchatani, and Udon Thani, all of which provide a great base for exploring the region further. The obvious attraction of the Esan region, is to experience Thailand in a way that most tourists, and indeed teachers never do. The area is home to a third of the country's population, yet very few tourists head here. The rural parts of the region enjoy a slow pace of life, that seems a million miles from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, yet it is only a one-hour flight away. There are several unique national parks to explore, as well as the mighty Mekong River which forms a natural border with neighboring Laos. Esan is also famous for its local cuisine, which includes two of the most popular Thai dishes, Laob and Som Tam.
