Trip overview

Can you imagine having 1400 tropical islands as your home away from home? Not just any islands, either. 

We’re talking islands covered in picture perfect palm-lined beaches to relax on, infamous Full Moon Parties to dance the night away at, tropical jungles filled with exotic animals, beach weather all-year round, low cost of living, the feeling of freedom as you explore,  world-famous food, friendly people….

Teaching English in Thailand is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and explore the world. But it’s not for everyone. On our Summer Teach English in Thailand – you get a short-term (6-7 weeks) taste of the English teacher's life. 

Thailand is a popular place for travellers. Which means you’ll meet loads of other people on a similar adventure to yours – even if you’re travelling solo. 

Travellers who are also revelling in the freedom that comes with exploring Thailand. 

All this and much more – without sacrificing the creature comforts of home. 

But this isn’t only an adventure full of fun. It’s also an opportunity for you to get an idea of what your life could look like as an English teacher in Thailand. 

This is the perfect way to test if teaching English overseas is the right move for you.

But – there are also loads of English speakers chasing the dream of living abroad while teaching English. And because these short-term camp counsellor placements don’t require a TESOL qualification – competition for these positions can be fierce. 

Which is why we offer the complete package for teaching overseas. Our team will help you with the essentials you need to start your new journey with a bang! Including helping you find accommodation, visa assistance, a range of exciting cultural activities, and so much more. 

You could do this by yourself and leave a lot to chance. It will take much longer, cost more,  and you’ll be competing with every other traveller trying to live the life of an English teacher.  

Or you could let us take care of the essentials so you can focus on living your best life. 

If you’re curious about teaching English overseas – but not convinced it’s for you – Summer Teach in Thailand is for you. 

If you want to live in paradise – Thailand is the place to be.

If you want a taste of the English teacher's life while exploring the paradise of Thailand – book your spot today.

Trip details

Our trips are designed to get you set up overseas as smoothly as possible. Our goal is to save you time, money, and stress while eliminating the risk of returning home early. Here’s how we do it: 

We’re on your side from the moment you get started. You’ll be assigned a Dedicated Trip Coordinator to guide you through the next steps and answer all your questions. Our team is well travelled so you can learn from our experience. 

Your Personal Travel Concierge will help with flights, insurance, visas, and any add-ons you’d like for your trip. These are real humans too – no robots here. 

Once you land in Thailand our local team will be waiting for you at the airport. After a night in Bangkok for your first in-country orientation (or straight from the airport, depending on intake numbers) you’ll be transported to your twin-share accommodation in Hua Hin. This will be your home while you do your week-long training workshop. 

This workshop will prepare you to teach in a local environment and get the most out of your teaching placement. Included in this course is plenty of course materials – including an entire, Thailand-focused TESOL coursebook – to help you excel as an English teacher overseas.*

*Please note: this trip does not include a TESOL qualification. 

Apart from your teaching workshop, your first week is jam-packed with your in-country orientation activities. You’ll be able to take part in a huge range of cultural activities planned, including a Muay Thai class to impress your friends back home, visit to a local street dog rescue clinic in case you want to adopt your new best friend, visit to a nearby Thai market and traditional Thai cooking class for when you’re courting that special someone, and a beach BBQ where you’ll meet your fellow teachers. 

Once you’ve landed a teaching position (which is secured before you even leave home most of the time), you’ll travel on to your teaching placement at a school inThailand. These placements are short-term – usually 6-7 weeks – giving you plenty of free time to explore this amazing country. 

We’ll be in touch during your trip to make sure everything is going smoothly. If you have any questions or concerns we’re one quick message, DM, email, or carrier pigeon away. 

And if there’s an emergency, you can use our 24/7 emergency support lines for anything urgent, managed by our international Global Work & Travel team.

Requirements 

To qualify for this trip, you must have your Bachelor’s Degree in any field. You’ll also need a laptop to help with your teaching duties.

What extra costs will I have? 

Flights, travel insurance, food, visa, criminal background check, souvenirs, and spending money.

Trip itinerary

Arrival

When you arrive at Suvarnabhumi International Airport, your private transfer (included with your trip) will take you to your accommodation in Bangkok for your first night, or straight to Hua Hin. This is where you’ll get your first in-country orientation and be introduced to the other teachers. 

Week 1

Your first week in Hua Hin is all about orientation and your teaching workshop.   You’ll have the chance to participate in a range of cultural activities we have planned, including:  Muay Thai class Tour of a local Buddhist temple Volunteering at Rescue Paws – a street dog rescue clinic Visit a Thai market and learn how to use your ingredients in a traditional Thai cooking class Your orientation will end with a beach barbecue with all your fellow teachers.

Ongoing

Once you’ve landed a teaching position, you’ll set off to your new destination for the duration of the camp. If your teaching position doesn’t provide accommodation, our in-country partners will help you find a comfortable home you’re happy with.  Because these teaching positions are short-term, you’ll have plenty of time before or after your teaching placement to explore this beautiful country.  You can party at Thailand’s infamous Full Moon Parties, explore luscious jungles and tropical beaches, or hop on a quick flight to your choice of incredible destinations on your doorstep.  We’ll be in touch with you throughout your stay. If you ever need advice or support our team is available to answer your questions. And our 24/7 emergency support line will help with urgent matters.  Don’t go alone. Go with Global.

Why should I book now?

Covid-19 threw us a curve ball and pretty much halted all travel. This means that we have a backlog of travellers, just like you, who are desperate to get out and explore the world! Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12 months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free.

As a Global Traveller you’ll get exclusive access to gWorld, our personalised app where you can keep all of your important documents and trip details in one spot and gain insider access to everything Global. This is where you will find exclusive Marketplace Deals, a unique social network to connect you with other like-minded Global Travellers, access to our Academy with an ever-growing range of skills & languages, and so much more. Think all of your favourite apps merged into one, but like, better?

Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!

Can I travel with a friend?

Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together!

But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join.

And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!

What happens if COVID affects my trip?

If you have to make any changes to your departure date, you’re protected with our Lifetime Deposit Guarantee and our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility. With this, we will change your trip dates for free. If this doesn’t fit around you and you can’t go on your trip anymore, we will give you a 100% refund in the form of a Trip Credit with us (See terms). If you’re unable to use it, you can also transfer that credit to someone else for them to put towards any trip too.

If you’re affected by Covid-19 while you’re overseas, you will have all the support you need from our team or partners in-country as well as have access to our 24/7 Global Emergency Line. We recommend travellers purchase Global Travel Cover travel insurance that provides Covid-19 medical protection too.

Do I need to be vaccinated to book?

As border restrictions for countries begin to ease, being fully vaccinated will maximise the number of locations you can visit. So while you are not legally required to be vaccinated, and it’s also not a requirement to travel with us, it will limit some of the countries that you can visit and may make it harder to travel through over the next 12-18 months. We highly recommend our travellers look at the current travel restrictions of their destination, speak with a medical professional or get in touch with our team for travel advice.

What happens if I want to cancel my trip?

Our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility means you can change your trip’s start date up to 84* days before departure without incurring any charges when you rebook it for any time (or even any other trip) in the next 2 years from your original start date.

In the event that you want to cancel your booking altogether, if you give us over 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put towards booking absolutely anything travel related with your Travel Concierge within the next 2 years!

*Some select trips excluded, including Teach (Spain, Italy & Czech Republic) and USA (Summer Camp, Working Holiday and Hotel Professional), and others as listed in Booking Conditions.
