I had try my luck thru online job agents but wasnt sucessful as i can.t speak thai.Really miss my spouse as we are seperated now and can only see each other about 3 times per year.

There’s a big Chinese community in Bangkok, you should try but salaries here are very low.

had tried,no luck i am really contented even for earning about 8000 baht.

I'm not sure about your visa requirements (assuming you are a chinese passport holder) but i imagine you will need a work permit and for that you must obtain a Non-Imm B Visa.

I think you should focus on your chinese/english language skills and try to get a job near the chinese comunity. Keep looking for jobs and something might appear. Good luck.

Anson,

Non Imm O Visa multiple entry is okay for a work permit, since you are married to a Thai.

As for work, you could try to seek employment in SG that have a branch in Thailand. I have seen a few SG travel companies in Bangkok, you just have to look harder. Maybe you could also look into the hotel industries with your F&B background.

I could tell you this, it's not easy but one must never give up.

And lastly why don't you invite your wife to stay with you in SG while you get this sorted out?

Best of luck
