Thailand is becoming a popular destination for padel coaches looking to work abroad. The sport is growing fast across the region, with Bangkok, Phuket, and Koh Samui leading the growth.
Thailand offers an attractive, paradise-like lifestyle, with a choice between the energy of the city and the slower pace of island life.
Expat coaches are highly valued, especially those who are mobile, driven, and able to build their own client base. Salaries and packages vary widely, so it's important to compare the full offer before making your decision.
AT A GLANCE
Padel scene in Thailand
Thailand is one of Asia's biggest padel scenes. Bangkok is the largest market, while Phuket and Koh Samui have become padel destinations in their own right. Most coaching work is at clubs and resorts, and the number of both is growing quickly. Chiang Mai is newer but growing too.
DAY TO DAY
What to expect from life in Thailand
Thailand combines a warm climate with a strong international community and a relatively low cost of living. Bangkok offers fast-paced city life, while Phuket, Koh Samui and Chiang Mai provide a slower, more relaxed pace. English is widely spoken, so settling in is straightforward.
