Q3. What was your main reason for moving?
The changes to the visa regulations ultimately did me in. The work that I enjoyed the most - language schools and corporate training - could not provide me with a work permit and I could no longer stay by renewing my tourist visa. The only alternative for me was to find full-time work in a Thai government school, the idea of which filled me with the greatest repugnance. There is no provision for companies who employ English instructors on an hourly basis to be able to supply work permits, in my experience.
