Work at Khaosod English. Do Great Things.

Khaosod English is looking for tenacious and talented reporters to cover everything from street crime and politics to development and nightlife in Bangkok.

Are you a compulsive communicator who knows how to get the story? Can you write crisp copy on the news of the day as well as thoughtful features? Have your finger on the pulse of Bangkok’s trends, neighborhoods, restaurants, nightlife and the arts?

If so, we have a job for you in a news organization that values truth-telling, high professional standards and online innovation. Our ideal candidates are bicultural, bilingual Thai nationals with a keen interest in telling it like it is without equivocation. Humor and wit are a plus, as is some tech savvy.

We prize newsroom diversity as essential to serving our readers.
