ESL Careers market context
How this pay compares in Thailand
This listing vs. the local range
฿20,000 / month sits below every range our Thailand guide publishes. The lowest is 30k to 45k THB per month for government schools.
Living costs in Bangkok
Roughly 12,000 to 30,000 THB a month for a one-bedroom condo, widening fast the closer you get to a central station. Thailand pays less relative to cost than Vietnam, so most teachers here live well and save little.
Visa and paperwork
Three separate things are involved: a Non-Immigrant B visa, a work permit from Thailand's Ministry of Labour (applied for by your employer), and, for school teaching, permission or a licence from the Teachers' Council of Thailand. A bachelor's degree is the usual baseline for school roles.
What's the Teachers' Council process?
Under the Thai government's temporary-permit guidance updated in 2023, a school can request permission for a foreign teacher who has no licence yet: age 20 or over, and a degree in education or a bachelor's in a field the school needs (or a foreign teaching licence if you have no degree). Permission is granted for up to 2 years at a time and 6 consecutive years in total, and you must qualify for the licence within that time. Training requirements and details change, so check the Teachers' Council website or ask your school.
