So can you do the extension at any point during the 2 months, even at the beginning or does it have to be towards the end?

Thanks guys, should have probably said I've been to thailand a few times before and have already made contacts there, I will only have enough money for about 2-3 months and I've already booked my flights but I'll take all your advice into consideration :)

I definitely know this is how it works, I've been to Thailand many times and have spoken to a lot of people who say it will be near impossible to get a job there other than teaching English really... but I have also met the foreigners working in cafes/bungalows/restaurants etc. that show it can happen. Like I said I can only try, I'm not going to give up before I've even started but I respect what you're saying I know it's unlikely but when I want something bad I usually try as hard as I can to get it, If it fails then I'll try something else

I'm just going to try get a work permit simply as working at the bungalows or possibly general manager, if this goes through then hopefully I shouldn't get into any trouble while I'm there as long as I'm only doing the jobs i'm allowed...

Yeah honestly Robert you've helped so much... I'm going to try to do this properly, if i get declined ill keep trying otherwise it's just not meant to be :(

Ah okay thanks

Yeah, I know it's uncommon but I've been to this place several times and its like a second home, we always said when i turn 18 i will come and work there... I just want to make sure I do it right and actually be an asset to the business. I think It could be good for an english speaking person to work there with thai people, I could help them and they could help me

That makes sense, but when the employer goes to the ministry of labour (I think there might be one in samui) Does he need any information from me? There isn't a lot of information about the wp3 online...

Okay, so I have the average GCSE's and a diploma in photography... I also have experience working in retail and cafe's/hospitality, would I be able to work at this company with these educational records?

I have heard a few people say 'if you start your own company you can do some of these jobs' but honestly I don't know what that means... starting my own company?
