I’d recommend searching online for job portals which specialize in remote work jobs, then find the ones which allow full remote, contact them to ask if they are ok with the employee working from Thailand then submit resumes to those who are.

A lot of the remote position listings will say something like “Remote US” or “Remote UK” but that could mean either you can work from anywhere but have to be legally allowed to work in that country (US or UK for example) or that you can work remote but only within that country.

Also keep in mind the work hours.

If they expect your husband to work US or even UK hours then that can be a big lifestyle hurdle.

If you want to keep somewhat normal Thai hours then you’d have to find a company willing to be flexible on the hours, which reduces the pool of available jobs even more.

If working at night is an issue then finding a job in Thailand might be worth the lower pay and other issues such as longer hours, probably having to live in Bangkok, language and cultural barriers, etc.

my friend used Michael Page agency for engineering.

Try Central group for developer

They’ll be paying Thai wages and usually with Thai hours 10h/day 6d/week although I’ve seen some web dev jobs open to foreigners that did 10 hour days 5 a week and fewer still that were 8 hours 5 days a week.

But even the highest paying ones were maybe like 50k baht a month and in Bangkok and those were 6 day a week jobs, usually lead developer jobs that is going to require a lot of meetings and time managing Thais (with all the cultural quirks that need to be learned for that).

Oh and that’s 50k before income tax.

Better question is can you both live off a monthly take home of 25-40k in Bangkok the way you want to live.

The best option is to find a job with an international company that allows remote work, set up a Thai company to get a work permit and go that route.

It’s more complex and there’s costs involved with the company/work permit but that’s nothing compared to making 4-5 times higher salary, being able to live anywhere in Thailand and not just Bangkok, not dealing with Bangkok daily commutes and all the other quirks of being a foreigner working in a Thai office.
