I am looking to make the move from the USA to Thailand, but doing so methodically and with information in hand before making the leap. I have been working with animals for over six years, from exotics like, mt. lions, jaguars, wolves, and coatimundis, to rehabbing wildlife such as; coyotes, raccoons, squirrels, and skunks for release, to livestock, cows, pigs, goats, as llamas. I am currently a veterinary assistant at a small animal hospital. I have one more year before I take the VTNE and test in my state to be licensed. I do understand this license if for this state alone, but the skills and knowledge will always be with me
I am wondering if anyone has advice on how I would find out how to go about getting recognition (if that is the right word) for training her in the States, and the job market for veterinary technicians in Thailand. Alot of the information I do come across is for voluntary work, which I understand I would still need to have a work permit to perform anyway. But, because this will be a permanent move for myself, I'd like to be able to support myself as well. My occupation is not one forbidden to foreigners and I am so passionate about working with animals, that to be able to continue to do so in Thailand would be ideal for myself.
I am 33 years old, with a Bsc in Biology. I have no preference of location, although perhaps Bangkok or Phuket will be more likely destinations given my occupation, but I will be happy anywhere
Any advice or guidance would be most appreciated.
