How can I get a work permit and work visa in Thailand while on a tourist visa?
Hey guys, I'm in Thailand on a tourist visa and I'm planning to work in Thailand. Anyone has any idea on how can I get the work permit and/or work visa and how much would it cost me to get one and the process if you know it. Thank you in advance🙌🙌

If you're in Thailand now as you say don't waste your time on FB. You should know already that you need the job first otherwise forget it and start learning about Thailand.

I think the OP means ‘planning’ to work for himself and looking for advice on what kind of visa to apply for.
The ‘find a job’ comments don’t really answer the question. Then again, I can’t answer it either.
