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!

View all the current teaching positions on the Ajarn jobs page.

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 'The students forgave me; the admin staff never did'

Friday, 11th July 2025 — A new Filipino blogger!

The Filipino teaching community in Thailand is huge, but not since the great and much-missed Ben Vacio (rest in peace, Ben) have we had a Filipino blogger on Ajarn. But hopefully that's all about to change as we welcome Teacher Lani.

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

Tuesday, 8th July 2025 — Two teachers, two outcomes

Both women arrived in Thailand around the same time. Both were qualified, motivated, and excited to teach. On paper, there was no reason why one would succeed and the other would struggle. But within four months, Julia had found her rhythm - and Sophie had packed her bags.
