— 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. 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! View all the current teaching positions on the Ajarn jobs page.
— When the head teacher isn't really the head teacher
This is the story of my journey as a “Head Teacher” in a foreign country, a position that turned out to be far from what the title promised. I share this tale to caution others about the potential pitfalls of such roles, especially when the true responsibilities and authority are not aligned with the expectations set by the title.
— Send your letters to the Ajarn Postbox
If you've got anything to say on the topic of teaching in Thailand, the Ajarn Postbox is the place to say it. Latest letters include 'any info on severance?'
— What's Mae Sot (North West Thailand) like for teachers?
What's the potential for an English teacher living up in Mae Sot on the Thai - Myanmar border? Much teaching work around?
Do you live and teach outside Bangkok? Please help us update one of our region guides if you can spare a few minutes.
— Teach in Thailand - the ultimate gap year!
I did a little three-month trip after I finished university but never did the whole year. Maybe I wasn’t adventurous enough and also I think it was just too expensive for me. However, looking back at it, I think coming to work in Thailand for a year would have been the ultimate gap year experience.
— Should the school pay for the cost of a visa run?
We've never heard of a school reimbursing a teacher for the total cost of a visa run but there might be one or two out there. You may get the cost of the actual visa back but you'd be working for the greatest employer in Thailand if you got reimbursed for train or bus tickets and hotel accommodation, etc.
— New to teaching in Thailand?
A selection of answers to the most common questions - What are the best months to look for work? Will my employer provide accommodation? Should I fix up a job before I arrive in Thailand?...and more.
