Korat Jobs


In case you are considering moving to Korat and are looking for information about Korat jobs then you have definitely come to the right place.

Let me start of by clearly stating that it is rather difficult for a foreigner to find suitable Korat jobs. The vast majority of Korat jobs which are open to foreigners are English teaching jobs. You do need to have the relevant paperwork and salaries tend to be less then impressive with most English teachers in Korat earning around 35.000 Thai Baht per month. If you are just looking for a way to supplement your pension or other type of income then this type of Korat job could be ideal for you. If you are looking to teach English in Korat then you should check out the Korat Farang forum and perhaps post some questions there.

There are not many other types of Korat jobs available to Farangs. There are a number of Japanese factories in Korat but they tend to hire mainly Japanese managers. One of the reasons why most of the companies in Korat are not interested in hiring foreigners is because of the minimum salary requirements for foreigners which is around 35.000 THB per month depending on your nationality. As nearly all the local businesses target local clientele, there is hardly a way that they could justify paying a foreigner 3 or 4 times the salary of what a capable Thai would get.

The majority of expats living in Korat that are still employed and are not working as a teacher are either working in their own business or are earning money online somehow. If you are unable to start your own business in Korat but would still like to earn money during their stay in Korat then perhaps you should look at freelance writing for example. Some of the sites where you can find this type of freelance work include Digital Point forum and Getafreelancer. You could also create some websites and earn money through affiliate sales or Adsense advertising.

If you would still prefer looking for regular Korat jobs then there are several outstanding Thai employment websites where you can search for jobs in Korat.
