I'm very new to here and trying to gather information for moving to Thailand but what I see and please correct me if I'm wrong, if you want to work your best bet seems to be teaching. What other types of jobs would a westerner be able to do without buying a business nor having a Thai family or partner?Is there possibility?Tired of cold, rain and gloomy weather and my partner and I looking for a change.We are not in retirement age yet late 50's for both. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Greetings: I’m planning to move from US to Thailand in January, and living with my girlfriend in Ayutthaya where she owns a home. I can’t determine whether I can arrive on my passport and apply for a visa there, or whether I need to get one before I arrive. Further, the reading I’ve done on Thai visas doesn’t seem to fit my circumstances. I want to eventually generate some income and will want a work visa, so a retirement visa is out. I would like to avoid having to leave every 90 days, and be able to renew in country. I’m ready to just hire a visa service to help me. Love to hear any advice or experiences from those who had similar circumstances.
