Is it Possible to Make Enough Money Teaching in Thailand to Live Comfortably?
The answer to this question will very much depend on what each person considers as comfortable. The average teacher, outside of Bangkok, only earns about 30,000 THB a month which is about $900 or 660 Euros. Those working in the big cities like Bangkok will tend to make above 40,000 THB, but the cost of living in these places tends to be higher. Those who spend a few years in Thailand will usually find higher paying jobs. If somebody likes to party a lot and needs to have all the western comforts then it can be difficult to survive on a teacher’s wage in Thailand.
