Do you really think that becasue the company allows you to trade, it is okay with the Thai Government?

You need the correct visa and work permit.

The visa is valid for 5 years, even when your paid course ends after a few months.

You can visit Thailand for the remaining validity of the visa as a tourist without working.

Or if you wish enroll in a new course.

You are not allowed to trade in Vietnam, so Vietnam is NO option.

Thailand does not allow you to trade, but that became no detail in your plans.

Working illegal in Thialand seems no issue.

What is the difference between Vietnam and Thailand,?

Why is being illegal in one country a huge problem and in another country no issue?

According Immigration EACH and EVERY visitor can be asked at entry, reading on this page ONLY tourist visa holders and Destination Thailand Visa which seems to be a tourist visa, and gives you 60 days at etnry.

What ever the post is, some people keep making rules and regulations.

Thailand Immigration CAN ask these questions to every visitor:

Not every visitor is asked to show all 7 points, it all depends on the Immigration Officer, but IF you get asked you have to show.

IT saves a lot of time if you are prepared.

1. valid and genuine passport

2. IF you got a visa issued, a print out

3. Print of the Thailand Digital Arrival Card tdac.immigration.go.th

4. the Boarding pass

5. Proof of onward travel within the period you get stamped into this country

6. Proof of accommodation

7. Proof of finance, 20.000 Thb (40.000 Thb for family) or equivalent currency in CASH.

And YES, as Immigation is the first line of defence, they can ask you to come aside for a further interview about your intentions of your visit.

Your gym gave you documents from the Ministry of Education to apply for this visa.

Now the gym has no clue about their official registration to hand out documents to students?

Ask the Immigration Officer to contact the gym, or hand over your cellphone when you call them, to explain in Thai language what is needed.
