Hello-
I am moving to Phuket with a colleague of mine in early March. This will be my first trip to Thailand and am extremely excited for the change. Any advice on acquiring a job that will satisfy living expenses, will I need a work Visa, and how much money should I have on hand when entering Thailand?
Thanks for the advice!
Any advice will be appreciated

You will need lots of luck finding work in Thailand. You can check the two sites below for possibilities. To be legal you will need a work permit otherwise you run the risk of being jailed and deported if apprehended.
Funds required when entering Thailand must equal 20k baht for tourist visa but rarely is anyone asked to show.
