If you wish to travel and work where the culture is rich and vibrant, and where a dining experience is unbelievably cheap and sumptuous, then Vietnam is definitely a wise choice.
The demand for ESL teachers in the country is high. There are hundreds of language schools in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi (the country’s capital) along with plenty of jobs. You can also check out “Tuoi Tre” newspaper, it is considered the best publication when looking for English teaching jobs.

They try to make foreigners feel like one of their own citizens. Teachers in the country also receive a lot of respect from students and in society in general.
