If you are looking to find employment in your trade here in Thailand you will not have any luck. Plenty of good local welders available and at a rate much lower than what you would expect.
If you look on this forum you will find a list of prohibited jobs for westerners.
I suggest you research what type of visa you can get as some visas do not allow you to work anyway.
May be best to do a Goggle search and see if you can find work somewhere else and use Thailand as your base.
