TLDR : Answer Summary
The original inquiry revolves around whether one needs to register in a school to obtain a visa in Thailand, particularly as an unemployed accountant. Community responses suggest multiple pathways, including checking the Education Visa at ALA Language School or enrolling in courses like Muay Thai or cooking. There are also mentions of the Digital Nomad Visa and suggestions that obtaining a visa may be less straightforward without clear goals. Comments highlight the need for additional context about the individual's intentions—whether they plan to work remotely or just reside in Thailand without employment.

accountant charge rip off charges, you earn good money you should be able to retire and enjoy life. But if you want to work as an accountant remotely you should be able to get the DTV no problem . Get a visa lawyer , then it's no hassle and no problem. Siam legal in Bangkok

The solution requires a more defined question.

Are you planning on coming to Thailand to stay and work online?

Or just coming here to live and do nothing.

maybe has lots of savings, wants to take a year or 2 off. Who knows? Really unclear as he provided incomplete and spare information. Unclear what "solution" he is seeking.
