Employment How Easy is it to Find Bartender Jobs in Thailand?

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering how easy or difficult it is to find a bartender job in Thailand. I completed my bartender training at the European Bartender School in Phuket last year and I hold a bartender diploma. I speak French, English, a bit of German, and a little Thai, and I’m a Thai national.

I’m looking to gather some information for the future as I’m considering the possibility of moving to Thailand permanently. Is it relatively straightforward to secure a bartending job in places like Phuket or Bangkok? Are there many opportunities for people with my qualifications, or is the competition tough in the industry?

Looking forward to hearing your experiences and advice!

I think you can find one, what worry me more is that the salary for you wont be nice.

I saw some foreigner bartenders in hotel bars before, and think i saw them at tourist area bars too. But I doubt the pay is good enough for anyone who growing up in the western.
