Hy iky,

Sorry to have to burst your bubble but you won't be able to work in thailand. Maybe a slight chance as an english teacher but surely not in financials or an office job.

YOu need a work permit to work and it's only given with a lot of administrative hassel to people who can bring knowledge in to thailand. since you're only 20 you'll never get one of these as you have no knowledge to bring.

Bring sufficient amount of money from home and come on a years holiday.

budget for about 30.000 bath a month to be safe.

If you get caught working without a license the penalties are harsch.

Do a search on this forum for relevant info.

Greetings

DK

You can try emailing ahead to some of the schools but frankly they have enough applicants with more experience.

I'd suggest trying the GAP schemes available. Some of them offer paid work, but these are obviously really competitive. Google for gap work in thailand.
