yeah, it's pretty bad. I can't figure why any black person would stay. I prefer asia to the US so I moved, and didn't have hardly any money. why would you stay in a place that would shoot you like a dog. I'd move immediately. You might not ba able to get to Thailand because of the paperwork but you could go to Europe tomorrow and fill out the paperwork from there. but europe has gotten pretty racist over the past few years with the migrants and brexit and all. maybe the only place you'd be really safe is Africa, hate to say.

find a school in Bangkok to sponsor you or contact an "agency". they can do everything for you visa wise. however, the country is currently closed to foreigners and will be for a long time due to covid, maybe if you have a work visa they will let you in. need to call the Thai embassy in LA or DC to see if you can even get a visa now. they probably aren't issuing visas now so you're move will have to wait. also, it's the job you find in thailand before you can get a visa. so, step 1, find a job or agency, and teaching English is probably the easiest job to find, step 2 your job you find will help you get a work visa, which the embassies might not even be issuing, so call them and ask. Finding a job and getting the visa is very hard, then if they let you in you have to have health insurance and quarantine for 2 weeks in country before they let you out and you have to have 15k in the bank or some requirement like that so they know you won't get here and start begging, you need to look that up too. and FYI, not sure if you've been to Asia but they are a lot more racist than europeans and americans. just a heads up. once you get here, housing is cheap and easy to find, travel and food is cheap and fun. it's worth it if you can make it. you need to do significantly more research but don't let it stop you. you will never be fully prepared for a move like this, just do it and don't let anyone tell you you can't, unless it's the Thai embassy telling you they won't give you a visa, then you can't.
