 The top place to teach English in Thailand, Phuket. As Thailand's largest island, Phuket has rapidly grown from a few tiny fishing villages, into the country's premier resort destination in just a few years. It is now home to a large expat community from all over the world, as well as an ever-growing local population, that is drawn by the largely tourism-based job market. Across the island, there are many job opportunities on offer for foreign teachers, although you can expect a relatively high level of competition for the best positions. For those who do find a suitable position, the reward is to live on a tropical island, that manages to balance city life with a laid-back beach vibe. Among its many charms, Phuket offers plenty of traditional temples, markets, and colorful festivals, as well as modern shopping malls, multi-screen cinemas, and water parks. Of course the island's many fantastic beaches are also a huge attraction. On the coast, you will find beaches to suit all tastes, from peaceful palm-lined sands, to lively resorts complete with watersports and a vibrant nightlife. While some parts of Phuket have become a little overdeveloped for some tastes, you are only a short boat ride away from several other stunning islands, where you can get a feel for the region's outstanding natural beauty. If you are looking for a location that mixes modern conveniences with a relaxed lifestyle, Phuket could be your dream destination. Thanks so much for watching.
