BANGKOK, Thailand – The Ministry of Labour, through the Department of Employment, will host JOB EXPO THAILAND 2026, the country’s largest employment fair, under the theme “Jobs for Every Role, Every Lifestyle – Thais Must Have Jobs.”
The event will take place January 16–18, 2026, from 10 A.M. to 7 P.M. at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Halls 5–6. Over 500,000 domestic and overseas job vacancies will be available. The expo will offer skill development, career guidance, vocational training, job application services, and lifestyle features, including fashion, food, arts, entertainment, and workshops.
Minister of Labour Treenuch Thienthong noted that although Thailand has over 40 million workers, many remain unemployed or are in roles that do not match their skills, especially given global economic and technological changes. She emphasized that JOB EXPO THAILAND 2026 aims to connect people, jobs, and skills to help workers of all ages and backgrounds find suitable employment.
The Minister added that leading companies from various industries will conduct on-site recruitment, giving jobseekers direct access to employers. The event will also include career counselling, seminars, and knowledge-sharing sessions to help participants understand labour market demands.
Department of Employment Director-General Somchai Morakotsriwan stated that the expo will offer job matching for domestic and overseas positions, opportunities for older persons and persons with disabilities, freelance and franchise business options, and work-from-home roles. More than 28 leading companies and over 100 employers from various sectors will participate, providing inclusive employment opportunities nationwide.
The Director-General added that those who are interested can pre-register and check available vacancies at jobit.doe.go.th/JOBEXPOTHAILAND2026 or via the event’s QR code. More information is available through the Ministry of Labour hotline 1506, press 2. (NNT)
