Hello all, I’m trying to figure out if it's possible to land a 60,000 baht + job in Thailand. I taught previously in 2018-2019. My experience and networking during that time showed me that it is virtually impossible to land a 60,000 baht + job. I’ve met teachers with better credentials than me. I met a guy with a bachelor's and master in education with 10 years+ experience teaching in the US, but couldn’t find a job paying more than 45,000 baht. It took him 1 and ½ years to land a 45,000 baht job. He told me he only got offers from 35,000 to 40,000 baht jobs for over a year. He was teaching English online while doing border runs to get by and stay in the country. I’m not sure if I should try to teach English in Thailand again. Anything less that 60,000 baht, you are literally breaking even, barely getting by, and no savings. Schools pile all the visa cost & government cost on you. Everywhere you go, renting, eating out, getting a bike, visiting tourist attractions, etc… you are getting charged more as foreigners. 35,000 to 45,000 baht is a rough ride to maintain your stay in Thailand. From 2018-2019, this was my personal experience and experience of many foreign teachers I spoke to. I have no interest in teaching in any other country. I want to see if I’m able to gain credentials to teach in Thailand again making a living foreign wage. Also, I’m a native speaker (US citizen) & have non-education bachelor’s degree. I’m willing to get further education & certification to earn a higher wage. Recommend me cheap and fast schools/programs. There’s people online claiming that it’s easy to land a 60,000 baht to 150,000 baht job with the right credentials. I find it a bit ridiculous. I met a handful of teachers who have good credentials but couldn’t land these jobs. Please comment below your thoughts on how to obtain a higher paying teaching job in Thailand. *crossposting it with other groups. You may see repeat.
