Quality Assurance and Control Jobs in Thailand
Gaining employment in the Land of Smiles as a foreigner normally means occupying an English teaching position. Even though there are highly paid English teaching positions in universities like Chulalongkorn or Thammasat, the vast majority of such positions offer little pay.
In point of fact, don’t anticipate a decent salary for any job requiring skills, teaching or not. It does sound all bad, but actually if you hope to live in the Land of Smiles for a few years, such low salaries aren’t any trouble since the cost of living is very low in Thailand, the infrastructure is arguably the best in this region of the world, it’s a safe country, and there’s still every chance to advance your career and get some useful work experience.
However there’s an obscured dilemma that slowly presents itself over time: so you’ve been living in Thailand for a few years, and you’ve accumulated great work experience, your wage isn’t great, but then again things are cheap in Thailand so that’s OK. BUT, guess what? You’ve been unable to save money while working in Thailand. Airfares look very expensive compared to your salary in Thailand. The price of things in your home country begins to scare you when thinking about your Thai wage slip. This dilemma troubles many foreigners in Thailand a year or so after deciding to work there. Lasting future plans can often be delayed because you haven’t the nest egg of money to put into action any plan like buying a home, buying a car, or tieing the knot..
So, important point : when considering staying in Thailand, it’s smart to also remember that it is very challenging to save substantial quantities of hard currency when thinking about the costs of “back home”.
However, it’s not all about money is it? You can have a great time in Thailand, perhaps learn the language, make new friends, travel around the country when you have time off work, and get yourself some worthwhile overseas work experience.
