Just an addition to the degree requirement. It must be certified as ligitimate, and notarized by your university. Too many were buying their degree from the fake document sellers on KhaoSan Road. Now it must be certified as being ligit.

Due to Covid you need to come to Thailand first. You need to have a bachelors in any discipline to be legally hired. If your under 40, a native speaker, free of a criminally record and have a degree you’ll have no problem finding a job once you’ve landed in Thailand. Get a police clearance before you come.
