thanks for the list, I am not trying to do any of these occupations that are prohibited.

My goal is to live in Thailand for 1-3 years or so, and my objective is to continue my culinary research I've done over the past several times of visiting but much more in depth. I would very much love to work in a restaurant in some capacity if I'm going to be there that long, for the hustle and bustle of something I love doing and longevity of living there.

Financially I would only be able to do maybe a year or so supporting myself there with savings, work would be able to extend that a bit.

I am a sushi chef that has trained in Japan, so have a high level of niche skill in the culinary field, and my friend that lives in, is from Chiang Mai and runs a cooking school there told me japanese food has gained huge popularity there and i should try to work at one of the many sushi spots around the area if I were to move there for awhile.

Didn't want to bog down too much personal details in original post, more wanted to see if anyone has switched between visas, or problems with that etc.

ok thank you a lot on this info, did not know there were salary requirements that needed to be met on a Thai job that had to do with my home country's salary.

thanks for the input, I'm aware I wouldn't be really making much money doing that, more of using it for the same benefits it gets me in my country of saving a lot of money on my main daily expense of food and drink. Maybe I'll just stick to DTV then and just volunteer at businesses my friends own if that reason for work visa doesn't make sense for me.

I'm sorry, I guess I didn't think that that possibility was that outlandish? To help out at one of the bars my friend owns or at my friend's cooking school eventually. I apologize if that seemed out of touch? Just trying to figure out the best visa for myself.
