Respondents of this study are 123 foreign teachers from different primary and secondary Schools and international schools in Thailand through the use of snowball sampling technique. They are non-education graduates, were teaching in various schools in Thailand, were enrolled in the Academic Year 2017, and those that are currently taking the Graduate Diploma in Teaching Profession in one of the private international universities in Rangsit and Nakhon Nayok, Thailand. This study utilized the descriptive method. The instrument utilized for gathering the data was a researcher-made survey questionnaire which was tested for its validity and reliability. The data were statistically analyzed and interpreted through basic statistics, such as frequency, percentage, and mean; and inferential statistics, such as Spearman rho, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient (Pearson r), t-test for significant difference, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Findings revealed that foreign teachers agreed that factors such as personal characteristics and technological characteristics influenced the adoption and integration of ICT in teaching.
