I have been to Thailand a few times now and just love it. I was thinking about maybe moving to Thailand for a year or 2. What type of jobs are there in Thailand that are easy to get? I know working in a bar is not good as the wage is crap.

I have a degree and I heard teaching is what a lot of foreigners are doing, but I don't want to teach. Is there anything else there?

[Bulldog]

Well if you don't have a degree, you can only opne a business or become a teacher, many sources will say you also need a degree to be a teacher but that is not the case. You do need to do a TEFL course.
But teaching in Thailand is a easy job and anyone can do it.

Jobs at the moment in Thailand are hard to get, unless you want to teach.

Nonsense....!!!

It all depends on what you want to do.
If you want to be a teacher or engineer, then there is plenty of jobs. If you want to work in a bar or takeaway, you won't get anything

labours in thailand are too cheap unless you have certain qualification such engineer, lawyer, accountant

@ ROY

Please specify, IMHO the Kingdom has a very protective policy towards entrepreneurs and jobseekers alike. The industries in Southeastasia all seem to have larger growth in foreign investments due to the judical hurdles here. I live here a mere decade now and consider a move in the forseeable future.

Well if you know of lots of job vacancies then how about pointing Skippy in the right direction

Isn't that the purpose of the forum, to help one another ?

[Skippy]

Maybe I can do this

Being a teacher is one of the easiest jobs to get, if you get to teach kids, then it is the easiest job in the world.

You need to get out a bit more, Bulldog.

Care to expand on that a little Roy, Im curious. Are you saying there is work out there besides teaching?

[Damo]

If you can speak English, it is easy to find work, you don't need shit. My mate teaches and is hung over half the time, it is a piece of piss.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what Roy's problem might be?

One word, snide answers, or outright hostility to someone looking for an honest answer don't seem to me like good ways to attract forum participation.

I can sympathize with his apparent fear the the 'old' ways are disappearing, and Thailand is changing (I fell in love with the 'old' Thailand, too), but he seems to think that he's the only one who is entitled to live here.

What gives?

Too bad, because there appears to be a core of well-informed folks here, who genuinely care about Thailand and what happens here. It's a shame to chase people with the same interests away, in the name of guarding your (imaginary) turf.

I'll keep reading, and see what happens.

It is Ok, I don't think Roy is will be posting here anymore by what he has done recently.
