Are foreign teachers at a Thai government school entitled to a pension?
posted 31st January 2010
No. Foreign teachers are classed as ‘temporary staff’ regardless of how long they work at a particular government school. In fact, even young Thai graduates who will sometimes help out with teaching duties are lumped in the same category. As a foreign teacher it’s up to you to organise your own private pension plan.
