Work

The two main opportunities for work for foreigners are teaching English and dive instruction, but both are very competitive and divemasters in particular are paid a pittance. Finding any other kind of work in Thailand can be difficult, as wages are poor and a large number of occupations are legally off limits to non-Thais.

An excellent way to get to know and understand more of the country is to do some voluntary work. There are several organisaitons such as Travel to Teach that arrange work for international volunteers in Thailand and other countries in the region.
