Can I bring my wife and child with me on an ED visa to Thailand?

You will need to do a degree/masters/PhD at a university and find a university that will support the applications. Language/Muay thai/Cooking etc schools can not support dependency visas.

Can I obtain a long-term teaching license in Thailand with UK qualifications?

Declan **********

@Christine ******

you can get 2 license waivers which is 4 years, it is possible to get a 3rd waiver if you can prove you have enrolled in a top up course if you're not a licensed teacher in your home country near the end of your 2nd waiver.

Can a foreign teacher with a work permit teach privately at home in Thailand?

Declan **********

no, it's not legal. Anyone who tells you otherwise is clueless or trolling. Your work permit only allows you to work at the school.

The only exception for this would be if you are still teaching at home for the school.

What is the best pay as you go phone deal in Thailand focused on internet usage?

Declan **********

I'll echo what Rob is saying, you can also walk-in to any AiS store and get the same deal, you can even just grab a SIM and set it up yourself on the MyAiS app.

What is the purpose of a Non-Immigrant B visa in Thailand for establishing a business and obtaining a work permit?

Declan **********

It's none of those options...

You aren't going to get a non-B without already having the business established, and you definitely aren't going to get a work permit without having 2m in capital for the business and 4 Thais working for you too.
