Average Salaries at a University in Bangkok – You would think that average salaries at a Bangkok university would be high but, in many cases, they are some of the lowest paying jobs in Bangkok. The positive side of teaching at a Thai university is, unlike many other English teaching jobs in Thailand, you only have to be at the university for the hours you teach and with teaching hours usually at 20 hours or less (some only teach 12 hours a week) then a 30,000 baht average salary isn’t too bad. Especially as this gives you a lot of extra time to find a second job. Depending on the university, average teaching salaries can be as low as 30,000 baht a month and as high as 65,000 baht, but most pay on the low end. Universities, however, do look good on a resume, although remember most Thai universities are nowhere near the standard of an average western, Japanese or Korean university. So the positive effect on your resume could be small. Average Salaries for Full-Time Corporate Teaching – I taught at an international company in Bangkok for two years, and started out on a salary of 62,000 baht a month. That is actually low for a full-time corporate job in Bangkok, where the average salary is 70-85,000 baht a month, but full-time corporate jobs are few and far between. As the company I worked for decided to hire their English teachers through an agency, that meant my salary was less, due to the agency taking a cut.
