— Teaching opportunities in Thailand (and sometimes other countries in Asia)

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. An employer will sometimes ask us to make changes to a job description but those changes will NOT be made by the website copying the ad. Trust the info, trust Ajarn! View all the current teaching positions on the Ajarn jobs page. 


— How far will a 40K teacher salary go in Bangkok?

How far will a 40K teacher salary go in Bangkok?

Will you be living well - or simply surviving? Let's really drill down into those numbers and find out how far 40,000 baht goes. 


— I've no degree and no experience. Does this rule me out of teaching in Thailand?

I've no degree and no experience. Does this rule me out of teaching in Thailand?

Answer - You still see jobs advertised through agencies for teachers with no degree but you have to look at things in black and white. With no degree and no experience, you're certainly at the bottom of the pile. You will find work for sure, because there are jobs for almost everyone in Thailand - but it's not the 'unqualified teachers market' it once was here.


— What's Phattalung (South Thailand) like for teachers?

What's Phattalung (South Thailand) like for teachers?

Another town and province a very long way from Bangkok but starting to get a reputation as a must-see part of Southern Thailand. It's quite a fertile hunting ground for teachers as well by the sound of it.  


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



— "My fellow foreign teachers plotted against me"

"My fellow foreign teachers plotted against me"

Our next great escape survey is from James, who moved back to Canada in 2023 after his second teaching spell in Thailand. It was during that second spell that things got nasty.

Are you a teacher who worked in Thailand but moved on to pastures new? We would love to hear from you! 


— Teaching English really ain't that easy

Teaching English really ain't that easy

Many people seem to think that after 12 years of schooling and observing a range of teachers—the good, the bad, and the downright awful, they’ve picked up enough to be able to teach themselves. If only it were that simple.


— Recruitment season and how to find the right teacher

Recruitment season and how to find the right teacher

To find the 'right' teacher, you first need to know what the 'right teacher' means. But how does anyone know what's 'right'? Is it written in the stars, or is there some more mundane way to know which matching is best?
