TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, a bachelor's degree is only a legal requirement for teachers seeking to obtain a work visa. For other job positions, the requirement for a degree depends on the specific employer's criteria.

It's only a legal requirement for teachers. Other jobs do not require it, so it will be based on what the employer requires.

 For foreigners, I expect the list of non-graduate jobs open to them is pretty short.
