Alright then, what do you think about the following? Il l get an online bachelor's degree and then start teaching. I have some savings, and I know I need to document 400 000 per year that won t be a problem. I ll spend three years in Thailand studying online. That sounds like a good plan. So as I understand 90% of members this forum are Teachers?

Hi everyone, 1. I would appreciate any advice on how to find a job in Thailand. What works best? I'm trying LinkedIn, and the JobDB portal is also good. Does anyone have any other tips on where to look for job openings for positions like Technical Field Advisor, Supervisor, or Field Manager in the energy sector? I'm specifically looking for roles related to the construction of large machinery—steam turbines, gas turbines, generators, and rotating equipment, where mechanical engineering knowledge is required. Thanks for any suggestions! 2. I often have to specify my expected annual salary in job applications. I usually state 600,000 Thai Baht, which is not too much by local standards. What salary should I realistically expect for this position?

Selling napkins in front of my house is not my dream job—it was just an idea to fill my time while job hunting. I strongly assume that finding a job in Thailand will take me much longer than in Europe. I just wanted to ask on the forum if this would be an issue from an immigration perspective. Of course, I want to have a proper job and continue working in the energy sector.

This decision wasn’t mine—I have a good job in Europe. My wife wanted to live in Thailand; she wasn’t happy in Europe. So, I’m trying to adapt. My wife is happy, and so are the kids. I want to be close to my children—I don’t want to stay in Europe alone, just sending money to my family. Of course, I want to find a job in Thailand, but it’s complicated. That’s why I thought about opening a small shop in front of our house. It doesn’t have to be big, just a small source of income. My wife has a good job, and I just wanted to be useful until I find a proper job. I don’t understand why everyone on the forum is making me look like a fool, acting as if my entire strategy in Thailand is just selling Coke in front of my house.

In the past, I worked in Thailand for about two years as a technical advisor/supervisor for mechanical construction of steam turbines for power plants and cogeneration projects. I was involved in building turbo sets for Siemens, working with local Thai teams. Our clients included Mitr Phol, B. Grimm, and Toshiba. After that, I returned to Europe, where I worked as a project manager for investment projects in the energy sector, specifically in natural gas storage. Currently, I am working in Europe as a technician at a nuclear power plant. My wife and children have already moved to Thailand, but I have to stay here for another two months to finish my work and sort out some things. The kids are attending a great private school, and my wife drives them there every day, about 30 minutes from home. Our son is only six years old, so he’ll pick up Thai quickly. Of course, I am already looking for a job and applying for positions in Thailand and Malaysia. I see many great opportunities in Southeast Asia, but I haven’t received any responses. Around 80% of the job listings require a damn bachelor's degree.

Hello my dear online friends. After a long time, the whole family is moving to Thailand. Everyone is happy, I am too, but if I had at least a small job, I would be happier. I’m 36, not retired, so a job would be useful to me. I’m not delusional, getting a job in Thailand is impossible for me since I don’t have a university degree. My wife wants to open a small shop in front of our house where we will sell beer, cola, snacks – you know, like every other shop on every corner. I would like to work there. Do you think it would be a problem for immigration? I have a marriage visa, and the shop will be on my wife’s land.
