He's from the UK so I take it you mean a Visa exempt entry? 30 days if arriving by air for UK passport holder.

You're from Notts right? I'm from Mansfield!
Get yourself up to the Thai Consulate in Hull. Apply for a double entry Tourist Visa (even triple if they will issue)
A double entry gets you 6 months give or take a day or two in Thailand. 60 days + 30 days ext Thai Immigration - Border run - Re-enter Thailand do the same process.
Plenty of time to get yourself organised in Thailand. Find some work, apply for B visa in nearby country etc.
You cannot get a work permit on a tourist visa.
Make sure you have a plan B in place, in my opinion Pattaya is not the best place in Thailand to find your feet. Very easy to get hooked on what's available there and end up skint!

Hi Brett
You can do postal stuff with Hull. BUT if you ring them you can book appointment and they are very efficient. The Consulate is on the outskirts of Hull near the Humber Bridge.
You might like to read this article I wrote on working in Thailand, the link in the post( finding work in Thailand) is also worth following and reading.
Good luck.
