Teaching Jobs in Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok is city that even people who say they don’t like cities will love. You will feel its energy from the second you step off the plane. The city maintains all the characteristics people come to love about Thai culture, from the extremely helpful nature of the locals to the mouth watering food. High up you'll find shining offices and beautiful apartments, but stick to the ground and walk through floating markets, pass fresh fruit shake stands, and mounds of sizzling peanuts. The greatest number of teaching jobs in Thailand is offered in Bangkok in a variety of schools, and the booming business of the city has left the population eager to learn English.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Bangkok

What Else You Need to Know

Private Language Institutes are very popular in Bangkok often offering English language courses for specific industries, such as tourism and business language classes. Something to note about the private language schools is that they are ALWAYS open. A teaching job in Bangkok at one of these schools will likely result in unusual work hours.

Public Schools. Opportunities to teach English abroad in Bangkok through teaching positions at public schools are popping up more and more. Teachers are usually contracted for 16 to 20 classroom hours, but will be expected to spend additional hours at the school for lesson preparation and other tasks. Opportunities to teach subjects beyond English in public schools are available as well.

International schools are Western style schools with curriculum taught entirely in English. These schools will expect teachers to have a degree in education, and teachers will teach their subject of expertise rather than English, or perhaps both.

Universities will have higher requirements for foreign English teachers in Bangkok. There are many private and public universities located in Bangkok, and some of the most highly regarded universities in Thailand, such as Mahidol University and Thammasat University. Many will require a masters degree, but it is possible to get your foot in the door with a bachelors degree and some good teaching experience too.

Three weeks volunteering in Siem Reap

August 11, 2025by: Olivia Aurora Lamassa - SwitzerlandProgram: Worlds #1 Volunteer Programs. 40+ Countries from $20/day!

I spent three weeks volunteering at Salariin Kampuchea Learning Center in Siem Reap, where I helped teach English to younger students and supported the development of their social media presence. It was one of the most enriching experiences I’ve ever had. Some days were more challenging than others—adapting to a new environment and finding ways to communicate across cultures. But what I’ll carry with me, more than anything, is the deep sense of connection I felt with the people. I can confidently say I’ve grown and learned so much, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for. Living and working within the local community gave me a complete perspective shift. I was struck by their warmth and generosity, and the quiet strength with which they face life. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed. The children, the staff, and my host family made me feel included from the start, making it easy to feel at home throughout my time there
