I am considering Myanmar or Thailand. I've heard just being an American in Thailand I can make money to offset my cost of living teaching English, that English teachers are very much in demand. Is it the same in Myanmar? I know the country is more poor than Thailand, so I'd expect less, but, are there opportunities like that available? Ha, maybe there are no English teaching posts available to Americans who mix up "their" and "there!" I'm an idiot, I guess I don't deserve an actual answer.

i know you can find teaching positions in Thailand if your qualify, however why would you ever want to go to Myanmar for a job.

Myanmar is full of locals who speak English perfectly. They will work for 1 dollar a day teaching. If you wanna undercut them, well, good luck. There are many Burmese teaching English and other subjects in Thailand where they make 250 dollars a month.

In Thailand and China you can make enough to live modestly. Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Indonesia have very small job markets for English teachers. Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Myanmar, Brunei, Singapore, Bangladesh & Philippines are all former British or American territories. They have large English speaking populations and also export English teachers.
