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!

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.
