Have a job before you arrive because its not that easy to find work that will provide a work permit which is required.

Thanks..
Any suggestions of type of work or websites for foreigners to find work?

Besides teaching what options are there?

Thanks man

There are many forums talking about work and formalities, have a look under : https://www.expat.com/forum/211-5-work-in-thailand.html

There is also a list of jobs prohibited to foreigners in Thailand

Great stuff

Job section is here : https://www.expat.com/en/jobs/asia/thailand/

Company Directory is here : https://www.expat.com/en/business/asia/thailand/

Many foreigners here are teachers but you need right qualifications, there is no small job or manual job for foreigners.

A Thai company who want to recruit 1 foreigner need to do a lot of administrative papers like B visa and work permit support documents, plus the company need to have 2 million baht capital for each work permit, plus they need to recruit 4 local Thai people for each work permit, plus they need to pay a minimum wage 50,000 THB per month,...

That mean they will look for qualified foreigners in specific field where they can not find Thai.

It is better to get job where you are in a multinational group which have offices or plants, or resorts, etc... in Thailand, they you can try a move later on inside the group by applying for internal vacant position...
