Hello.

I hope I have posted this in the correct area.

I would like to move to Thailand and work for a digital agency.

Any tip on how I can do this?
Will Thai based companies take English people on whom have experience.

Any websites you think would help.

thanks people
josh

These guys were looking for developers not so long ago but based in Khon Kaen.

flameweb.net (Khon Kaen web development)

The problem with foreigners is usually around the difficulty in gaining work permits/immigration visas for them. So you may encounter some problems there.

The other problem is the salaries are probably vastly less that you are (or think you are) entitled to.

I wouldn't mind taking a pay cut! I'm sure it would be more than enough to live out there.
It really isn't about money for me, its quality of life

Strongly suggest you do a bit of research. Thai salaries are far less than foreign counterparts so who would you hire if your were a company.

Are you really willing to take a pay cut that will make your quality of life not so good. We are talking about a big cut not one you might see if you changed companies in the west.

When you say "digital agency" you refer to a design/advertisement company?
