2026 Expert Guidance

Everything about Teaching in Thailand.

The definitive guide to help you Teach in Thailand 2026 with K.E.T.

Is a university degree mandatory to Teach in Thailand?

A Bachelor’s degree in any field is legally mandatory to obtain a Non-Immigrant B Visa and Digital Work Permit for paid professional teaching roles in Thailand. For those wishing to Teach English in Thailand without a degree, K.E.T. provides alternative legal entry through our Summer Internship and Volunteer Residency programs, which allow for legal classroom participation under different visa categories.

Can I Teach Subjects in Thailand other than English?

Yes, there is high demand to Teach Subjects in Thailand such as Mathematics, Science, ICT, and Social Studies. These roles exist within English Program (EP) and Mini English Program (MEP) departments in Thai government and private schools. Specializing in subjects often leads to higher salary brackets and is a key focus for our 2026 academic placements.

Do you handle the Non-B Visa and Work Permit?

K.E.T. provides a Professional Umbrella of support, managing 100% of the Non-Immigrant B Visa paperwork and Digital Work Permit filing. We coordinate directly with school directors and the Thai Ministry of Education to ensure your legal status is fully secured before you ever step into a classroom.

How do I set up my phone and bank account?

Every K.E.T. educator receives a permanent Thai SIM card immediately upon arrival. During your orientation week in Sukhothai, our local team personally escorts you to a Thai Bank to open an account. This ensures you have immediate access to mobile data and can receive your Teach in Thailand 2026 salary via direct deposit from day one.

How much can I save while Teaching in Thailand?

Teachers earning a standard salary of 33,000–35,000 THB in provinces like Sukhothai or Nan typically save between $450 and $600 USD per month. Because Northern Thailand has a lower cost of living than Bangkok, your Teach English in Thailand salary goes significantly further, allowing for a high quality of life plus monthly savings.

Can Non-Native speakers Teach English in Thailand?

Yes, non-native speakers can legally Teach English in Thailand provided they hold a Bachelor's degree and a valid English proficiency certificate. The Thai Ministry of Education typically requires a TOEIC score of 600+ or an IELTS score of 5.5+ to legalize your teaching documents and work permit.

Is there an age limit for 2026 placements?

There is no strict legal age limit for foreign teachers in Thailand; however, government schools generally align with the Thai retirement age of 60. K.E.T. successfully places qualified educators aged 21 to 60+, valuing the maturity and classroom management skills that experienced teachers bring to their 2026 placements.

Can I bring my pet with me to Thailand?

Yes, you can bring pets, but it requires 3–4 months of advance planning for vaccinations and export permits. K.E.T. supports long-term teachers in sourcing pet-friendly AC housing near their schools to ensure a smooth transition for your Teach in Thailand experience.

Am I covered by health or accident insurance?

All K.E.T. educators are covered by Accident Insurance for the full duration of their contract. Additionally, once your Work Permit is finalized, you will be enrolled in the Thai Social Security system, which provides comprehensive subsidized healthcare at local government hospitals.

Are meals provided during orientation?

Yes. High-quality catered meals are included throughout your 6-day Sukhothai orientation. Our local family team ensures all dietary needs—including Halal, Vegan, and specific allergies—are fully supported so you can focus on training and bonding with your cohort.

Can I choose where I live in Thailand?

Yes. We prioritize your preferences, and 98% of K.E.T. teachers are placed in one of their top 3 province choices. Whether you prefer a historical hub like Sukhothai, a cultural center like Chiang Mai, or the vibrant energy of Bangkok, we match your profile to the right school network.

What happens if I have an emergency at school?

As part of the K.E.T. family, you have 24/7 direct access to our local team, including Matthew John. We provide immediate ground support for medical emergencies, classroom hurdles, or housing issues, ensuring you never have to navigate a crisis alone while Teaching in Thailand.
