I am 42, married to a Thai. I have a degree and TEFL cert. I have been teaching for 15 years but unfortunately bad health means that I can't work much any more.

I would though love to work about 12 hours a week, but no more than 4 hours in one day. Is there any way that this is possible?

In no way would I like to do something illegal and risk my visa.

Thanks, its much easier than I thought!

400,000 bht in a bank for 3 months, then run it down over the year and top up the following year.

400,000 bht is about what I will spend a year too. Property paid for.

You can get 12 month extensions if you have 400,000 Baht in a Thai Bank.

Thanks, so with 400k in a Thai bank I can stay in Thailand and just have to leave the country once a year?

Bad health means work is out. I am a bit lost and wonder if I can stay in the country without having to leave on visa runs all the time. Can I make Thailand my home? I have no proof of income, but enough savings to last me as long as I am careful.
