Finding Work Off the Beaten Path

Job boards and networking events not getting you anywhere? A handful of Facebook groups and your own extended network still turn up real jobs in Thailand, as long as the job comes with a work permit.

If you want to stay in Thailand long-term, then you need steady income.

But job hunting is challenging, especially if you’ve attended countless networking events and applied on every job-seeking site in Thailand to no avail.

We’ve put together some off-the-beaten-path options that’ve helped expats land their dream jobs when traditional methods didn’t yield any favorable results.

You have a few ways to find work through unconventional methods. Depending on your industry, some methods might be more successful than others.

But with nothing to lose except a little time, these methods might be worth your while.
