You forgot to mention that there are no paid holidays for university lecturers opposed to teachers in basic education government schools who have paid holidays in March/ April and October.

 

Good luck in finding a good candidate.

You don't know anything about working at Rajabhat if you think there aren't any paid holidays.

 

2 terms of 16 weeks 'working' 18 hours a week, the remainder of the year is ostensibly paid holiday.

8:30 - 4:30 isn't 18 hours a week.

[Snackbar]

It says 15-18 hours of classes per week.

 

If you know anything about this type of job. It means 'teaching' 6 classes of two hours. The other 6 hours is for 'practice'. Which means homework. Which students do while you're off wherever doing what ever.

[Rob13]

I know what it means when the boss tells me to be in the office M-F 40 hours a week. It's all work. On duty or off.

 

If you like the conditions, you should apply. Can't imagine there being much in the way of competition.

Wow! 20 weeks of paid holidays.  That's almost 5 months. Wow, if this were true.

Do the students shuffle their feet, when they walk?

If it is the same as my university, all the weekend hours are paid extra, (some, depending on level, very handsomely), and are optional.

[harrry]

At my Australian University Lecturers were on campus usually from 8.30am to about 6.30pm most days.  They had a maximum of 10 hrs lectures a week.  The rest of the time was spent in lecture preparation, student consultations and research and of course staff meetings.  The policy was in general that staff should be accessible for students as much as possible.  Most had the policy that if their door was open they were available and the door was open most of the time.

      Well, that's fair, but still raises the question why a university lecturer has a lower income than a Baan Nok English teacher at a government school?  I think it's fair to the students and colleagues to be available when on duty.

 

     Teachers and lectures in "more civilized countries" don't just show up for their lessons.

20,780 THB is the salary and 8,000 THB is the housing allowance!

Wow! 
Just wondering...
The last three numbers of the salary (THB20,780)

THB780 seems to be a little odd. 
Why not just round it up to 21,000 or down to 20,000?

Maybe they could add a "food", "car" "Mia Noi" and some other allowances to make the offer more attractive?

maybe even a WP and a paid van trip to Laos for a "B."

I can offer a better salary than this.
