Just a friendly warning ⚠️

Some foreigner and Thai people don't like that people without a work permit and they will gladly report you to the migration police.

I use to live in north Thailand before and the police arrested many foreigner who asking for job, ore who already work without a work permit.

It's easy for immigration office to check your name in the system and checking what type of visa you have.

Hopefully with the replies above you realize, 18 years of retail is not going to get you any work here in Thailand. Good Luck

It honestly is a dumping ground of the rejected, uneducated sleazy low-lives with nothing better to do. I keep blocking them but new cockroaches just keep showing up. Need some serious fumigation.

Frank-Steven Eichholtz admins join the party every time as well. The only way to get serious answers here is asking how to get a retirement visa.

I heard that the leader of a country to the west of Thailand, with a population of over a billion, is looking for assassins to eliminate his opponents living in foreign countries. Do you have those skills? 🤣 🤣 🤣

The reason people are treating you like shit in this post is because 1. You're most definitely not the first one asking this. 2. In order to work you need to have a work permit. You cannot simply go around and ask for work. 3. People living and working here (with permit)for a long time are sick and tired of these questions.

So if you don't have a specific background which allows you to bring added and wanted value/work or you don't have online stuff that gives you enough to go bye (or something else I'm not seeing yet) it's advisable to review your plans. 💛
