ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone....

Probably asking for what everyone dreams of, but does anyone on this group have any experience finding online work from UK that I could do from Thailand? Visited many times and have a Thai partner, but UK is cold and horrible so would much prefer to be in the land of smiles than here. 

Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual is seeking advice on finding online work from the UK that can be done while living in Thailand. Commenters note the necessity of adhering to work permit regulations and mention companies like IFF Research that hire remote workers. However, there are warnings about potential complications related to employer taxes and labor laws.

interesting but not relevant. You would have to work under the radar.

Probably have to find it yourself, as in theory you'd need a work permit in order to get a visa. Many do work "under the radar" but don't advertise it on social media
