Your problem will be getting a work permit. There are ways to do that but unless you can find a company to provide one the only alternative is setting up a company, officially employing 4 thais for every work permit, paying social security for them etc

Despite what people are saying its not a profession that is reserved for Thai nationals.
My friend opened gym and hired the mandatory 4 people.
Another friend had the Phuket Movement clinic.
Also see couple of people in Bangkpk and they have according to there adverts full work permits
You would best be talking to a lawyer who specialises in this. But there will be a lot of set up costs

it has to do with visa and work permit. You can't freelance as a sports trainer. If you have enough money you might be able to start a gym, but you would need to employ minimum 4 thai national before you could even be considered for a work permit etc. It's not easy like "hey, let's move to another country and work as a freelance trainer". Ask yourself - could a thai person come to your country, get the visa to stay long term and get a work permit for a "random" freelance job, that many of your countries citizen can do as well? Most likely not... it would not be easy.Mark ********
You will need at least 5 employees and even then i don't think you can work other than management. Likely as with most things a protected proffession.
