Best Time to Look for a Job in Thailand

You can get a job in Thailand at any time of the year. But there is a golden period when many jobs open up. This is considered the golden period.

That period is between the end of December and April because many companies in Thailand give yearly bonuses from December through February.

And many employees looking for other positions leave their jobs only after they get their bonuses.

But although many positions open up during this time, applying can be slow. December and April can be two of the slowest months for companies in Thailand.

There are several public holidays in December. And at the end of the month companies busy themselves preparing for New Year’s parties.

April also has Songkran, when official public holidays fall around mid-April and many people take extended time off or go back to their hometown.

But if you miss the golden period it doesn’t mean you won’t find a job in Thailand. It just means there won’t be as many openings available.
