Hi there,

I am an Irish guy heading to Thailand in a few months to teach English (been in Tokyo for the past 5 years teaching English). I've read that a 'Thai Culture course' and a 'Teacher's Cert exam' are required to teach there, is this true?! I just have a BA degree (non-teaching) and TEFL weekend cert. Cheers!

No, it's not true. You have all that you need.

You're good to go.

When you're going to work in basic education schools, both immigration and labour might ask you for a provisional teaching permit. Follow the link below to learn more about the provisional teaching permit.
