 It's way easier to get morphine sulfate ( if you really suffer from severe pain) from a government hospital than codeine. It's high on top of the red list and people who'd sell it to you take a great risk.

Thanks for the replies. I am thinking she might be better off initially getting work in one of the Rajaphat colleges upcountry which often provide accommodation. She should befriend the students and have a bit of a social life in an area less intense than Bangkok or other Cities. She might teach privately as well and may move to a City once she's aclimatised.
I am now also looking at arranging for her to take up a volunteer teaching position where the organisation would take care of her initial needs and she might teach privately for cash flow. 

The senior students at Rajabhat are 18, or older. Sorry, but having a European daddy doesn't really qualify to be a teacher. Your daughter is young enough to go for a BA in education. Everything else is not what you're looking for.

They will want to work her and pay her as a Thai. I'd try China on the European passport. Imo it will be a huge struggle for her to settle in to a decent job with mediocre pay. I know this as fact. 

 

Thai teachers also have a heavier workload and responsibilities 

 

Scott's teacher is one of the lucky ones

China has just changed the laws and I don't think that a 19-year-old without a BA would have many chances to find a decent job.

  I don't doubt my wife's work ethic or good intentions however I have no idea what kind of profits a small restaurant/food stall can even generate. I realize I will never get my seed money back however if she can become self sustaining i would call it a victory.

 "Self Sustaining" in a way that money is still coming from you, then okay.

    100 K will get you a lot of decent stuff, ask those who had to shut down their businesses for understandable reasons and buy it second hand.

I'm slightly worried that the locals will see a farang funded food stall as a "free lunch" and will try to get out of paying and expecting free meals. I also have no idea how much money the villagers have or how large the potential customer base is. The good news is that her house is very close to a large government office and she claims most of her customers come from there. 

 Tell her that she won't do eat now and pay later/never. Once they've tried it a few times they'll give up on her.

My main concern is local free loaders who "borrow" food or will "pay later" as I don't know how "jai dee" my wife is when it comes to dealing with the villagers. 

 Have a long chat with your wife about your idea(s) how such a shop should run. Once you've got the government employees coming from Monday to Friday, there's a chance to actually make money.

Good luck with your new business.
