Another thing I'm thinking of is if I did do this course where could I rent a property for the month? There's a couple of mates going to do this with me so if we could find some proper digs it would be better than the no-doubt ghastly student squat offered by the TEFL folks.

Another influx of potential English teachers! Yes, you've your flights to sort out, some accommodation to find, lots of homework at night with the boom, boom, boom of the nightclub down the street beckoning......and 'other' distractions!

Do you know where you are likely to be teaching once potentially qualified and fulfilled a probationary period with no pay! You have no lessons prepared to give! Do you know which countries require you to have a full university degree alongside a TEFL/TESOL qualification to gain employment? What age group can you deal with, have you any basic Thai language skills?

Work permits, visa, transport, home country police background checks, offenders register clearances, invitation letter from a school to work there once suitably qualified...........Yes, you've started your homework but a long way to go yet.

Don't forget a decent pair of trousers and a collar and tie. Good luck and keep us posted.
