Job Opportunities / Market Demand / Market Trends

Currently, the trend of health consciousness and a return to nature has been increasingly popular over the past 4-5 years, and there is a growing preference among doctors for using Thai herbs in disease treatment. As a result, many traditional medicine clinics have emerged, partly due to the Ministry of Public Health taking the lead in developing a national plan for Thai herbal medicine and traditional medicine in collaboration with various institutions. Educational institutions offering traditional medicine courses, such as Ramkhamhaeng University and Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University, are linking efforts to continuously develop Thai herbs and traditional medicine. Therefore, those who are trained in this profession or wish to pursue this career can find employment relatively easily.
