Welcome to the forum! I hope someone here can give you some information. The only person from China that I met when I was in Chiang Mai for five months was working as a Chinese teacher. She was there because her father had been transferred there, and didn't have to get a visa on her own.

Hello Sally,welcome to the expats forum and congratulations on your recent graduation .

Jobs in Thailand are not easy to find unless you are unique at what a Thai cannot do , the one thing you have going for you is your English capabilities , as that is one thing that is sought after by most levels of education . May i suggest that perhaps you look into a position at a university , most academic teaching positions require an authentic degree to qualify , there is also the possibity of a Chinese company looking for some one such as yourself , there are a lot of Thai/Chinese companies in Thailand .

Schools want native speakers to teach. I think her advantage is in her Chinese language skills. A job teaching Chinese is probably her best bet.

How difficult is it to leave China? Do you still need exit visas?

Synthia , you are more than likely correct , there are several Chinese schools here in Phnom Penh with thousands of students because they feel there is a better chance in the future with Chinese , but i personaly never heard of or saw one in Thailand . Colin

Chinese language is now getting popular to learn in Central Asia, in particular, Uzbekistan. Could be an opportunity?
