I have heard wonderful things about CIEE, and know they’ve been around for a long time, can’t remember details. I have a prospective grad in a similar situation. There are a number of programs for teaching English abroad. One problem right now is that it is past deadline for some of the best, like Fulbright and JET in Japan. Those are highly competitive, and I think far less pricey.

My S went on a program to China for far lower cost, and after he’d learned the ropes, found his own job. He did Americorps as well, and don’t think you can compare the two, in terms of life experiences, though both are low pay and he’s had loans deferred for years now due to very low income. His life has been quite interesting however!

Regardless, Thailand certainly is a beautiful and friendly country to spend time in, with low cost of living.
