You really should do some research first. Comments above are mostly from retirees that have never bothered looking for work. Yes it is harder to find a job here than in the UK but I and many of my friends have worked in Thailand many years. Teaching is very popular, if you are interested then maybe study TEFL befor you get here, best if you hold a degree but it isnt law to have a degree to teach as so many people believe. Telesales is another area, many UK companies have set up businesses in BKK, you have work permit and reasonble salary. Programming is another area for Expats. Chefs, hospitality such as FO Manager et, there are opportunities if you spend time searching, once you are here networking is a great way to find what is available. Good luck and dont be too put off by the negative comments from the failures that have already replied, just because they cant, dosnt mean you cant.

Not being funny, but have you considered the Philippines for grocery shopping? On my visits there I notices most of the american products in every shop that would be unique to the American palate.Pop over there, box up a load, send it back, job done.
