JobThai's 2026 Salary Survey reveals sales jobs lead market demand in Thailand, followed by manufacturing and technical roles. Despite tight hiring, IT jobs command the highest average salaries (฿26,896–39,544), particularly in AI, automation, and cybersecurity. Five emerging sectors—finance (+7.6%), insurance (+7.5%), law (+6.1%), secretarial (+5.6%), and e-commerce (+4.8%)—show strong wage growth but face talent shortages, presenting opportunities for SMEs and job seekers. Bangkok/Eastern zones offer the highest salaries, with Rayong Industrial Estate 304 reaching ฿160,000 for specialized ops/supply chain roles.
