Thailand

Feeny is tracking about 559 open tech roles in Thailand, from roughly 60 companies hiring. Each one is pulled from a company's own careers page, so a listing means a role they're actively staffing. Almost all of it runs through Bangkok, the country's single tech hub. Filter by discipline to narrow it down.

Bangkok centers it. The overwhelming share of the country's tech roles sits in the capital, and for most job seekers Bangkok is effectively the whole market. Other cities have some engineering activity, but nothing that approaches Bangkok's concentration. Across the 1 we index, this is a one-hub country in practice.

The strongest sectors are fintech, e-commerce logistics, and a large digital-consumer base, with super-apps and payment wallets leading the way. Thailand is also a major node in Southeast Asian delivery and travel tech, so a lot of hiring sits in those platforms. That gives the market a clear consumer-and-payments tilt rather than a deep-tech one. Feeny lists roles from about 60 companies, so the current openings are worth a direct look.

Fintech is the biggest category, driven by payment wallets and the broader shift to digital money. Logistics and delivery tech are close behind, since Thailand sits at the center of a lot of Southeast Asian movement of goods and people. Consumer platform work fills out the rest, from super-apps to travel tech. The common thread is products aimed at a large, fast-digitizing population.

Bangkok pairs a low cost of living with a genuine consumer tech scene, which is part of why it draws people from across the region and beyond. The deep-tech options are thinner, so the work skews toward fintech, logistics, and consumer platforms rather than frontier engineering. The pace is generally more relaxed than in the biggest Asian hubs. The honest trade is affordability and lifestyle against a smaller pool of specialized roles.

The standard route is a Non-Immigrant B visa paired with a work permit, both tied to a specific employer. Thailand also runs a Smart Visa aimed at tech and startup workers, which streamlines the process for qualifying roles. Openness is moderate, and foreign hires are more common at multinationals and startups than at local firms. If you're targeting a tech or startup role, the Smart Visa is worth understanding before you apply.
