Any Tips to find employment in Chiang mai

Good luck

I received a job offer from CLBS a few months ago. I went far 2 interviews but then I said to myself that it wouldnt be a good idea to work there. Here is a few infos :

Salary is about 25'000 THB per month, you work from around 1pm to midnight 5 times a week. They take care of your work permit. However, 25000 is clearly not enough to live in Chiang Mai. You have to pay your rent, the food, medical insurance and you need to enjoy life a bit as well too... So that is why i didnt take the job. Be carefull on the phone with them, they try to make it sound like a dream...

Hey there would you maybe like to teach in Thailand, let me know.

Your chances of any employment are slim. Your chances of any legitimate employment are even slimmer. There are a few caveats:

-Teaching English (to do so legitimately you need to 1. Be from a country where English is the native tongue, no matter how clear your accent is. And 2) Have a degree in relevant subject).

-If you have decent IT skills, check out the firm 'Big Wednesday'

-Modelling or acting work.

-Be prepared to work for CLBS for peanuts. I don't knock this option at all (except maybe the hours!) because it would suit a person with savings who just wants to extend their trip by earning/having a reason to remain in country and not get booted out.

-Get hired by an international company  or government body (ie Foreign Commonwealth Office who transfer you to Thailand). You obviously don't fall into this bracket.

What are your skills and qualifications?

Thailand is a very image conscious country. They tend to hire white foreigners with English as a native tongue, the younger the better. It makes little sense to alot of the outside world l, but TiT.

Hi guys I’m English and  im looking for some work in Chiang Mai anyone help? Thank you

yeah, I would like to work/teach in Thailand. You got any offer ?

@Smiley B: i am looking for a teaching Job in Thailand.kindly help if you have leads.

the above saying is right. If you want a lot of money to teach in Thailand, you must come from the countries which use the languages(English, Chinese, Japanese) as native or official language. and you'd better having degree on teaching. Otherwise, you must find the teaching jobs at secondary schools which mostly have low budget on hiring native speaking teacher and only few teachers are needed per school.

In Chiang Mai, Have you tried hotel business? just like front staff or chef?
