How to Make a Good Income When You Live in Thailand

The one thing that most (western) people don't know about living in Thailand is that you're a bit limited to what sort of work you can do.

Well, a lot of westerners rock up in Thailand and immediately start teaching English. Now that's definitely a job you CAN do in Thailand, especially if you come from a country where English is widely spoken. Some westerners can teach English and love it.
