Nah, my own software. I tested a lot on that forum and ended up with a product line that I tailor for different markets.
This isn't sustainable in the long run, it'll at best give you some more pocket money, but bring a couple pairs of new, stylish levis with tags in your size with you. Foreigners love it. Sometimes they go for a hundred dollars or more. If you can't sell em, you have a few more pairs in your arsenal.
As a matter of fact, anything small that you can sell, but if you don't it's not a huge loss for you. When I was doing jiu jitsu here in Korea, i wanted to buy some headgear to protect my ears. I think they're like 20 bucks in the US. In Korea, they're over 100 dollars.

I got approached to do some modeling in Thailand. Usually that stuff is sketchy. They said they'd pay me to give old Japanese lady tourists massages too (just straight up massages) but I had to have my shirt off. I decided to do some photos and stuff for a portfolio but then the guy creeped me out so I stopped answering his calls.
I personally would go with English teaching, especially private lessons or look to find short term contracts. It would be a violation of your visa but people are always down for it in any Asian country. I enjoy teaching English though so that's why I would do it.
And the best thing to do is to lower your expenses.
To the person who is going to Mumbai, do you have a suggestion on how to find modeling jobs out there? I'm half Indian and muscular, and I'm gonna try and get this Overseas Indian Passport so I could work over there. I don't speak any Indian languages or anything, but I've been wishing to go to Mumbai, Chandigarh and Amritsar for a long time (never been to India).

A friend of mines just started teaching in Thailand. He paid $1500 to do a 3 week course out here that offered a guaranteed job in a destination of his choice after it finished, $1000 a month in pay, free accommodation. The reality of it turned out to be very different. You could pick somewhere on a list you'd like to go so he opted for a big city, he got sent to a village with nothing but some houses and a school an hour away from the city. The accommodation he was given was a mattress on the floor in a dirty room of a shared house with a middle aged ladyboy miles away from the school and the pay is under discussion. He has to stay there for 5 months or they don't give him his TEFL certificate, so all that time and money wasted if he quits. Sounds like hell to me. Think wisely before taking a teaching gig.

That doesn't have much to do with getting a teaching gig per se, but not being a gullible person who gets scammed. I make $40 per hour in Korea and have no TEFL Cert (which you don't need to teach). He shouldn't have wasted his time and money on that TEFL certificate, and he should have found a job himself like any normal person does. Never heard of anyone agreeing to work without first seeing a contract (at least in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan). He got scammed.
The course provider is considered to be reputable. He (and I) researched this before he signed up. They had glowing reviews online but I guess every experience is different and he's maybe got unlucky. Very unlucky.
Alphatravel,
Is the company called TEFL International? I almost signed up for it a few years ago, at the time, it was 500 bucks, same deal, 3 weeks training with paid accommodations in Thailand then 4 months work somewhere in the country and upon finishing, I'd receive the diplomma. Not sure why I didn't do it but I'm glad I didn't.

I've heard a version of the bait-and-switch teaching gig program several times. Every teacher I know in Thailand that gets paid well and enjoys their job spent time in the country meeting schools/other teachers and doing their due diligence before signing a contract. If anyone wants to teach English, that's the way to do it. Goes for any location.
No different company name American TESOL Institute but it's probably all the same thing. The reason they can guarantee you a job is because there are tons of jobs in Thailand that no one wants, i.e. being in a village in Isaan province 1hr away from civilization where there's nothing happening and you're the only white person. Doing one of these courses will mean you end up with a shitty job that no one else wanted. If you want to teach in Thailand better just getting a TEFL certificate and then finding your own job, at least you can choose where you work.
VP why are you considering going to teach English in Thailand don't you have a successful online business?

AT,
I considered teaching English in Thailand back in 2007 that was before I got into my biz.
Yeah American Tesol, Tesol International, Tefl International, they're all the same. As mentioned before, best way to get a good gig is be there and network, go to the schools, no need to pay an agency for a placement.
