Saturday, 26th September 2026 — 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. After job ads have gone live, employers will sometimes contact us to make changes to a job description (perhaps it's a change of salary or working hours or teacher requirements) but those changes will NOT be made by the website copying the ad.

Trust the info, trust Ajarn!

Sunday, 20th September 2026 — What's Koh Samui (South Thailand) like for teachers?

Sun, sand, and sea views - Koh Samui has the tropical island dream down pat. It’s a magnet for tourists, but teaching here means juggling the island vibe with limited job options and a cost of living that can sneak up on you. Just don't confuse living there with being on holiday. You still have to go to work on Monday morning.

Do you live and teach outside Bangkok? Please help us update one of our region guides if you can spare a few minutes.

Friday, 18th September 2026 — Being a good teacher isn't always enough

Being good in a classroom doesn't automatically make you successful at a school. I've known teachers who were excellent with students but struggled with colleagues. I've known teachers with plenty of ideas but very little patience for the way their school operated. When starting a new job, a teacher should try to understand what the school actually values.
