Bangkok is where Thailand's energy concentrates: glittering temples beside glass skyscrapers, floating markets and rooftop bars, tuk-tuks and the sleek BTS Skytrain. With more schools than anywhere else in the country, it's the place to be for career-minded teachers.
Teaching in Bangkok
Bangkok has the widest choice of jobs in Thailand, from government and bilingual schools to international schools, universities and corporate training. Salaries are the highest in the country, and experienced teachers can earn well above the national average.
Life in Bangkok
Living costs are higher than elsewhere, but still very affordable. Spend weekends exploring the Grand Palace, Chatuchak Weekend Market, Chinatown's street food and day trips to Ayutthaya, or simply escape to the beach at Hua Hin or Pattaya.
