ESL Careers market context
How this pay compares in Thailand
This listing vs. the local range
฿45,000 / month sits at the upper end of the 30k to 45k THB per month our Thailand guide lists for government schools. It also falls inside the range we publish for bilingual 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.
