Tell them you are in love with Thailand and are in a relationship but you have other businesses that require you to travel. Also your children or grand children like you to come home for family events. Basically truth. Your country has religious events right. Buddhist understand this. Family and spiritual is important.

My wife tiny village has tons kids. It’s really not a place that can afford an English teacher. Outside wat bot Phitsanulok farming area. My wife and I are replacing her house. I often wondered if I can get a special visa as married to teach conversational english. I don’t need to get paid also I don’t want long hours. I want it to be fun. . My wife only took three years from nothing. I’m actually considering moving there full time but my next trip for 3 months. Will make me decide.

Look your talking to a maze of possibilities you need to go to the immigration and attorney or you will fall into a pit that you can’t get out of.

Marry the girl

Please tell me how you resolved this

I second that

Why asking us. Go to Thai embassy

It’s smooth. Bring as little as you can.

Start a business is one way.

Marry her if she’s Thai. Stop dragging your foot
