Heads up: my partner is a refugee from Thailand. She was locked up for criticizing the monarchy on Facebook. It still might be better than your current situation, just saying.
Comment on Could I seek asylum as a US trans person in Costa Rica (or other countries)?

idk about asylum but Thailand has a pretty permissive visa system where you just keep renewing it every few months for a small fee

Tbh, all I want is a single room apartment, a full time job, and access to medical care. If the monarchy can give me that, I’ll shut off all socials and shut up. I am not going to be alive if I am here in October.

Don’t let comments in the thread end your resolve. You’ve got valuable skills to pitch. Start researching countries and learn as much as possible. I did this in 2021 when I decided to flee this country if the orange bad got reelected and settled on New Zealand. I even did a phone interview. But since 2021, I also entered into a relationship and I decided to stay because her refugee status prevents her from coming with me. Now I’m in the hell that is Tump2, but at least I’m in a healthy livng situation when I turn off my screens.

That’s the one thing you don’t do in Thailand.

Not at all how it works. I live in Thailand on a work visa, but you can only get those for a very short job list (like a teacher). People do border and visa runs every few months but that’s tiring and you can be denied entry randomly, and obviously you can’t have a job in Thailand with that. There’s a DTV visa you can get if you can prove a remote job and have 500 000 baht in your bank account (that money will always have to be there, you can’t move it out). Other than that there’s a marriage visa and retirement visa (800k in a bank account at all times).
