Thailand's number one TEFL site: Established in 1999 and still the best.
What's new on ajarn.com...
— 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.
— Getting the kids hooked young
Teaching English in Thailand isn't just about sharing your knowledge of the language. You're also sharing your culture, your stories, and your quirky ways, etc. All of you and what you eat and how you dress are important aspects of being an English teacher here in the Land Of Smiles.
— 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.
— What's Chantaburi (Eastern Thailand) like for teachers?
Chantaburi is of my favourite provinces in the whole of Thailand. It's always clean and tidy and the town is a place where you feel the locals have a great sense of pride. It would certainly make a wonderful place to live. But is it a wonderful place to teach?
Do you live and teach outside Bangkok? Please help us update one of our region guides if you can spare a few minutes.
— 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 'You won't compete with the social media platforms'
— "I love teaching so the money doesn't matter all that much"
Our next cost of living survey comes from Faisal, who teaches at a school in Ratchaburi and earns 25K a month. It's nice to hear from a non-NES teacher and reading if they can live OK on lower wages.
— Why you aren't getting any replies
Applying for teaching jobs in Thailand by e-mail can be a frustrating process at the best of times. Thailand, like many other countries, relies almost totally on messaging apps such as LINE and Facebook Messenger these days.
