Hopefully you have visited several times as many areas are so different you need to tour for a couple of months and understand culture etc before you consider a move. Above post good advise regarding visa requirements

Are you over 50 years? If so obtain a Retirement Visa for 12 months in Australia. In Thailand, Two months before visa expires have 800,000 Thai Baht in a Thai bank account, then apply for annual extension of stay based on being over 50. I have been doing this for over 12 years. Very hard to get an initial Retirement Visa when in Thailand because Banks will only open an account for you if you have a long stay visa,
