Well there where many answers but none like mine, yes it is easy, no diplomas necessary. The north east (Isaan) is desperate for teachers. They will call you a resource person pay you 12K to 15K a month, which you can live on. I first came to Thailand during the wrong time of the year to get a teaching position. They never looked or asked for my paperwork. They did offer me a place to stay (not the Ritz but nice enough) but I already had a home close by. I had only a tourist visa (60 day 2 entry) at the 59th day, I went to the neighboring country got my passport restamped and was good for 60 more days, then after that extended 15 more days. So you can do it but the money is just enough to live. It was great. I am now teaching in Rayong with all the proper paper work and work visa, and down here they not only looked at my paperwork but checked everything out, called my University, TEFL school... It is a great life and I have loved every min.
