Not Telling
Another option might be for you to contact the Honorary Consulate at Hull and see if they will provide you with a list of names of NGOs in Thailand for whom -- if one of their 'preferred' NGOs provides you with a Letter of Invitation -- Hull Consul will provide you with a one-year Non-IMM 'O' visa ... this is all detailed on the Hull website except for the list of names.

I fail to see how this is a problem.
Many bars do not let them in either, because we don't want to drink with them.
I said to a bargirl once, 'Why do you keep the blacks out?' and she said 'Because if Farang see African man, he not come in'.
I said 'Yep, you're right'.
All they do is try and sell me cocaine, and try to 'look after me' on Sukhumvit. It gets quite tiring.

I know plenty of those white folks who sell drugs also you bigot!

Well, let's see...Are you a religious/missionary type? Are there any Thailand volunteer programs you want to volunteer for? Can you get a job and work visa for Thailand? Do you have lots of money to invest in Thailand? Are you and your boyfriend ready to get married?
If the answer to all of the above is "no", then an education visa is probably your best bet. However Thailand is trying to crack down on the "buy-a-visa" businesses, and based on the experiences of Chiang Mai University Thai language students who thought they had a safe Ed visa by going through a reputable institution (see www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/395023-cmu-fails-to-provide-visa-support-documents), choosing a safe program can be a challenge.

I'm job hunting at the moment. Although it has to be said, I'm fairly pessimistic about me landing a job here. I have no degree, and I also have red dreadlocks and two nose rings. My tattoos I can cover up of course...

No chance unles you get rid of the nose rings and tidy yourself up. Schools here are looking for qualified teachers with experience that can set an example to the students which does not include tatoos and dreadlocks. Best for you is an ED visa or a get a 1 year visa from Hull.and then see what turns up job wise

Young lady, stay at home!
This is a serious advice from somebody who has done international moves many times successfully and has observed others doing the same, some of them failing miserably, so I know what is and what isn't required.
You are simply not prepared for such a move.
First thing, you have no real reason to come to Thailand (pull factor), just the idea that you need to leave England (push factor).
Second, you know next to nothing about life in Thailand (or in a foreign country in general) and worry about it excessively.
Third, you are worrying about the wrong things! Minor details of life, like accomodation, where to buy what and how to open bank accounts, will sort themselves out once you are here. There are people in similar situations who have done this before, and it worked - that's all you need to know for now. What you need to worry about is e.g. how to survive a major depression (read about culture shock for first timers and you'll know that you will almost unavoidably go through one!) without the support network you have back home, what to do if your plans fail, money runs out and you are stranded (this happens to surprisingly many foreigners here), or how to cope with the fact that you dislike other foreigners here (which are a mixed bunch at best) and realize that you cannot relate to locals, even if they speak English (this happens to almost all foreigners here).
These things can throw off more mature people who come here with a network (e.g. through local girlfriend/wife) and an idea what they want in life. Read this forum and you'll find plenty of stories (of course in their eyes it's always somebody else's fault - or at least Thailand is bad - but in reality it's only themselves who is to blame!). Do you really want to go through something like that? Don't fool yourself into thinking it won't happen to you!

From what I have been reading recently, Drug Smuggling For Dummies (Arabic version) may prove to be a hit with the latest bunch of Iranian inmates.
Sorry cant lay my hands on my spare version right now, but know where to send it when its found.

Iranians don't speak Arabic, they speak Farsi.
Though I guess nobody ever said bigots had to be literate.

Since when was any school worth fighting over? In civilised countries interschool sports such as rowing regattas and football matches take care of any aggressions but it seems in Thailand a 9 year old takes a blast from a shot gun carrying student (????) who fired a 'bullet'.
Shot guns fire blasts not bullets and any student carrying a gun would be fairly obvious surely? Shot gun or rifle. And as yet there are no arrests or disclosure about the assailant!
Serious problems here.

Sorry,but fights between schools in the UK and I bet America as well have been going on for years and moved on from fisticuffs to knives to now guns over the last 20 years especially in places like South London, Coventry, Nottingham, Manchester etc.
