I would like to travel to Thailand to look for an English Language teaching position at a university. What would be the best time(s) of the year to be there and putting in applications?

Hello feenix:

The academic year runs from June to March.

It is generally divided into two semesters. Relevant dates are as follows:

First Semester:
Registration: First week of June
Classes begin: Second week of June
Examinations begin: First week of October
First semester ends: Second week of October

Second Semester:
Registration: Last week of October
Classes begin: First week of November
Examinations begin: First week of February
Second semester ends: Second week of March

Note: The academic calendar can vary slightly from one institution to another. The months of April and May are considered 'summer holiday' in Thailand, although some universities do offer a 6-week summer session.
