Sunday, 17th August 2025 — Teaching opportunities in Thailand (and sometimes other countries in Asia)

Beware of several websites that are copying job ads ('stealing' is actually the correct word) from Ajarn dot com. We only post job ads that are sent DIRECTLY to us. After job ads have gone live, employers will sometimes contact us to make changes to a job description (perhaps it's a change of salary or working hours or teacher requirements) but those changes will NOT be made by the website copying the ad.

Trust the info, trust Ajarn!

Monday, 11th August 2025 — I finally visited Pattaya!

The moment I arrived, I could see why Pattaya draws the crowds. The city didn’t pretend to be anything it wasn’t. It was loud, a little chaotic, and full of neon. But it was also clean, efficient, and dare I say it, welcoming.

Saturday, 9th August 2025 — What's Petchburi (South Thailand) like for teachers?

Region Guide: Petchburi. A charming town with a mix of history, beaches, and tasty local food. It’s a quiet town but has enough going on to keep life relatively interesting. Teaching here means smaller schools and a slower pace - great if you want to escape the crowds without losing comfort. Have a look at Petchburi.

Do you live and teach outside Bangkok? Please help us update one of our region guides if you can spare a few minutes.
