TLDR : Answer Summary

To work and live in Thailand, you will typically need to secure a job first, as direct work is not permitted under an education visa. Your prospective employer must sponsor your work visa and provide a work permit. If you enroll in a language school, you are not allowed to work legally in Thailand unless you have the appropriate visa.

An education visa is work prohibited.

If you want to work in Thailand you need to find a job first. Then your employer will sponsor you for a work visa and a work permit.
