English Teaching Jobs in
Thailand

TEFL jobs can be found throughout the country and at all times of the year, although, for public schools, peak recruitment times are in the months before the terms begin. Many teachers can find a job in April to start with the new term in May. Most work in Thailand involves teaching children, either in government schools or bilingual and international schools. Private schools offer more lucrative salaries than government schools and teachers are able to supplement their salaries by tutoring. While online job adverts and job boards have grown more popular, many teachers still find that getting work once they’re in the country is easy to do, particularly for university positions and private colleges, which like to hire locally. Jobs can have a preference for female teachers, but the vast majority of foreign teachers in Thailand are male, and they tend to stay for longer, too. Some positions will require you to apply for a full teaching licence rather than a provisional teaching permit.
