After school i want to move to thailand and do work either at a law firm in thailand or do work for an american company in thailand. I speak english ( obiviously ) and am nearly fluent in thai. Would i beable to earn enough money to live comfortably? and is my decision a good one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Are you a Thai citizen? Believe that is a requirement to independently work as a lawyer. Will move to business where you should get more response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 You need to go to Thailand , see what it's like , talk to some Frangs in that line of work , get a feel for the place , then go home , toss a two headed coin, then think.There probably will be at least two coups before you finish your education, keep that in mind.

jalansanitwong Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) It sounds like youre a half Thai so working here with those qualifications shouldnt be a problem but the pay is much lower than what you would expect in the west. If youre a farang then forget it. Youre much better off in the west with academic qualifications.

ExpatJ Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Go to law school, then join a global legal company in your home country THEN try to get a transfer to work in their Thailand office. That's the best way as you will get a full expat package- the problem is it can take several years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
