Do companies in Thailand accept diploma holders for job applications, or is a Bachelor's degree required for work permits?

Dita, an Indonesian expat, inquired about the acceptance of diplomas for job applications in Thailand and whether work permits necessitate a Bachelor's degree. The responses indicate that while teaching English typically requires a Bachelor's degree, other industries may not have this restriction. However, job opportunities for diploma holders may be limited due to competition from Thai nationals, particularly in protected occupations. Suggestions were made to focus on hospitality jobs which could be more accessible.
