🌱 Term 2: Nov 2026
Is a degree mandatory for 2026?
Yes. For professional Paid Placements, a Bachelor's Degree is required for TCT compliance and Non-B Visa sponsorship.
How does the salary & payout work?
Salaries are paid monthly. Once you are settled (usually at the 2-month mark), K.E.T. establishes a Provident Fund where we add 5,000 THB to your savings. Throughout the year, 3,000 THB is kept for 5 months in a completion guarantee. Upon successful completion of all role duties, the full 15,000 THB deposit, a 5,000 THB reimbursement, and your final salary are returned. This ensures you leave Thailand with a large sum of 40,000 – 50,000 THB outside of your personal savings.
Can I teach other subjects besides English?
Absolutely. K.E.T. regularly places educators in English, Science, and Physical Education roles depending on the school's needs.
Are there age or pet restrictions?
While there is no strict age limit, schools prefer energetic educators. Regarding pets, finding pet-friendly teacher housing can be challenging, but we usually succeed and provide full logistical support.
