TLDR : Answer Summary

An Ed visa is specifically for students and cannot be used for employment in Thailand. To work in a school, you need a Non-B visa and a work permit. Attempting to work on an Ed visa can lead to severe consequences, including deportation and potential blacklisting.

The ED visa is for studying while in the country, not working. Working requires a work permit and appropriate visa.
