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!

How to avoid getting bankrupted by a motorcycle accident in Thailand

A warm welcome to Andre, the founder of Rabbit Care Thailand. Rabbit Care have partnered with Ajarn as our insurance specialists - and Andre will be the friendly face of the company. In this first blog, Andre highlights the hidden dangers of getting into a motorcycle accident in Thailand.


— How I control large classes... without losing my mind

How I control large classes... without losing my mind

Filipino teachers are often known for being sweet and gentle. But even I have what we call a "teacher voice" - somewhere between a gentle warning and the voice of your auntie who's about to hit you with a slipper. The trick is actually not to shout all the time.


— No native speakers anymore?

No native speakers anymore?

Some Thai schools are quietly phasing out native-English speaking teachers in favour of cheaper, easier-to-hire alternatives - but are parents starting to notice the effects? While it might save money, the long-term cost is students learning awkward, error-filled English and missing out on real cultural exposure.



— Send your letters to the Ajarn Postbox

Send your letters to the Ajarn Postbox

If you've got anything to say on the topic of teaching in Thailand (or even just living and working here), the Ajarn Postbox is the place to say it. Latest letters include 'Can we stop pretending English camps are educational'.


— Thailand didn't trap you; you just stopped moving

Thailand didn't trap you; you just stopped moving

It's not Thailand's fault you're still on 35K. If you’re unhappy, bitter, and quietly resentful that your career hasn’t gone anywhere? Then you’ve got two options: make peace, or make moves.


— What's Nonthaburi (Central Thailand) like for teachers?

What's Nonthaburi (Central Thailand) like for teachers?

Just outside Bangkok’s hustle, Nonthaburi offers a quieter suburban vibe with easy city access. It’s a practical spot for teachers wanting more space without sacrificing convenience. Plenty of schools and a growing expat crowd make it a solid choice for those who want the best of both worlds.
