What visa options are available for a British national moving to Thailand with a Chinese spouse?

Martin **********

You not mention age. From 50 years old, retirement is best. Even if your wife is not 50, she can get a following spouse visa. If your wife want a job as teacher, then as said go for that. Indeed avoid ED visa. Gives problems often if you travel back into the country.
