If you mentioned how much money you have it would be easier to assess.

I would say an absolute minimum for a single person not planning to buy anything in particular and carefully choosing where to eat and sleep, is something like 15,000 baht per month.

But it would not be much of a life. For a decent life, calculate at least 25,000 per month.

Get a Non Imm B visa!

I guess your from UK.

Send a letter saying your going to visit friends so need a Non Imm B Visa

Or send a letter saying your going to view future business prospects in Thailand and they shall grant you the Non Imm B. I have recently just done that with no problems.

Just call the embassy up and they shall tell you what they want.

The Non Imm B will give you 90 days when you arrive then you shall have to do visa runs every 90 days till your visa expires.

Hope that helps

You appear to be over-qualified to get work as an English teacher, should your funds fall short. I would therefore suggest trying for a multiple entry Non-Immigrant 'O' or, failing that, a multiple entry Tourist visa.

what sort of additional paperwork do you need for this? and how much would you actually need in the bank for this to be viable?
