Most jobs are restricted to Thai nationals, unless your highly skilled or have a degree, it will be tough going.
Most visas are obtained through your prospective employer.

From my experience in Thailand, some women take advantage of foreigners financially, whether in the name of friendship or a relationship. They make foreigners believe they are poor, even when they have jobs, earn a good income, and have decent savings in their bank accounts. Despite being financially stable, they pretend to be poor to get money from foreigners.

If you want to work legally in Thailand you must first find a job. Your employer then provides the paperwork for you to apply for a Non-B visa, which they might ask you to do outside of Thailand as its easier, and they organise a work permit. It's your only realistic option

, the general rules are that the employer must have 2 M THB in paid up capital in the company per foreign employee, plus 4 thai employees per foreigner, plus the work takes a foreigner (or whitelisted), plus your salary must be 30-50,000 THB. There are exceptions from those rules, but those are the normal rules.Assad *******

it’s very very hard to find employer who give me work permit, in Thailand no one give easily work permit with job, I’ve visited many restaurants to ask about job opportunities, but they all tell me to arrange my own visa first.

Assad Ullah I think they are politely saying that there is no job for you
