MOD EDIT
Otherwise, from my experiences, the unis are too lazy to advertise... Especially on English language websites (God forbid English departments of Unis in Thailand actually have to use English language to advertise about job openings they might have)..best strategy might be to physically go to the uni and find the English dept and drop off your resume... |

A very famous university which is bang in the middle of Bangkok NEVER advertises, although the words "Instructors Wanted" occasionally appear in a tiny corner of the website.
The Bangkok Post will sometimes show advertisements, especially for the private universities.
MOD EDIT
Keep in mind that Rajabhat Universities are ex-teacher training colleges. While some are excellent in serving the communities local to them, they are perceived by some people as slightly inferior academically. In the rural ones, kids will be very grateful and keen (unlike rude rich kids in the "best" unis in BKK)...but they may not all be little Einsteins.

Unis in Thailand are very different from those elsewhere. You may end up working year round not getting the several months of vacation most profs get in say, Korea. I was offered a job many moons ago at a 'reputable' Bangkok uni and turned it down once I saw the duties involved. Basically, I would have been working harder for less salary and minimal vacation time. I ended up taking on an institute job that I was much happier at.

The pay seems quite low in Thailand.
Am I missing something? |

Gvment uni salary is 20,000b plus about 9,000b for accomm allowance.
That will creep up by about 500b a year to a max of about 35k.
(Approx)
Thai teachers get less.
All teachers on 30,000 must do privates, weekends or extra stuff if they want to do OK, especially in BKK with its distractions and quite expensive condos blah blah blah.
If you want to save money, work in Saudi or UAE.

There are a few gems among the unis. If you can get in an international program you could earn six-figure numbers, but as some people said already, these jobs are usually not advertised.
Most people are working in unis not for the money but for the teaching environment. |
