ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, am I able to get a work permit for a non-teaching job in Thailand? I read a lot of conflicting posts about this. The job will require me to leave Thailand and go to Singapore/Japan for work at least a few times a month. Will that be a problem for immigration? I want to be 100% legal and not have any problems entering. I am holding a New Zealand passport. 

Thanks
