Prospects Of Working In Thailand?

[xerostar]

I am a 60 year old dentist, still in private practice in WA.

I wondered if someone could advise me where and how to get started with emigration to Thailand with the idea in mind to work part time as a dentist either in my own practice or for a Thai dentist, perhaps even in Nakhon Sawan where my Ti lak comes from. I'm not worried about earning levels otherwise I'd go somewhere else. I was hoping to get a visa on the basis of having a "special skill".

I have made enquiries via the Thai embassy in Oz and other forums as well as Thai dentists but my questions must have ended up in the "too hard" tray.

Any help gratefully accepted.
