Thak you

Unless you have already connections with a Thai company that can provide work with all the needed paperwork for work permits and such, or have the ability to deal with companies abroad on freelance basis (and have the peace of mind with the gray area of employment of such), I wouldn't really bother. Any job that can be done by a Thai, will be done by a Thai.

Also while "making ends meet" can be achieved with as low as 500 EUR, that's not exactly a life you'd want to have. Sure people have different tastes and needs, but I wouldn't bother to with under 1,500 EUR (58,000 THB) - it's just not worth it.

Hi thanks for the insite , how a work permit can be achived , can i pay some one to get it or can i just keep on working on tourist visa as i have not seen any body checking the  papers and i saw a lot of expats from asian countries working and opening shops do all of them have permits.
thank you

I don't know much about the work permit stuff as I'm not a business owner, but I highly doubt that one can just purchase it. Sure the checks might not be that frequent, but at least get ED visa for 25k or something to cover your ass.

Thanks , i think Ed means education, but not a slghtest clue how to do it, you means i have to enroll in some kind of course , or thai language class to stay there , and it may cost 25k bhat ?if any body can guide , i will be greatful
thank you
