01Thailand
Thailand Eastern Seaboard manufacturing
Rayong and Chonburi host car and component plants, electronics factories line the industrial estates north of Bangkok, and the Map Ta Phut complex anchors petrochemicals. Tourism and construction fill out hiring in Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya.
Thailand is an hour and a half ahead of India, so an Indian evening class is a late-night session locally and Indian morning classes suit evening study.
Where the jobs are
Electronics factories
PCB, embedded and automation roles.
Petrochemical and construction contractors
Piping, electrical and planning roles.

08FAQ
Thailand – FAQ
Still have a question? Message us on WhatsApp.
Ask on WhatsAppWhich course helps in the Rayong auto belt?
GD&T, SolidWorks and PLC are common in supplier and plant roles.
Can I join from outside Bangkok?
Yes. Any stable connection works.
Which course should I start with in Thailand?
Rayong and Chonburi host car and component plants, electronics factories line the industrial estates north of Bangkok, and the Map Ta Phut complex anchors petrochemicals. A sensible order is GD&T first, then SolidWorks once you are comfortable.
What is GD&T?
GD&T stands for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. It is a set of symbols and rules used on drawings to control the form, orientation, location and profile of features. This course follows the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard.
What is SolidWorks?
SolidWorks is 3D CAD software from Dassault Systèmes. It is used to design parts and assemblies, sheet metal and weldments, and to create production drawings. It is common in machine building, fabrication and product design.
Can I learn online from Thailand?
You can. Every course is available as a live online class, and learners in Thailand who want lab time can add an occasional visit to one of the centres in Tamil Nadu.
