Greetings from Colombia. Questions

7 years ago

Hi all. I'm a 35 year old guy living in Medellin, Colombia. I more or less work from my laptop. I left the US last year to follow a dream of mine, seeing the world. So far so good. I wasn't planning on it, but I met a wonderful woman in Colombia whose dream is also to travel. I think we're going to continue the adventure together.

Thailand had always been high on my list for a few months or a year abroad. I did tons of research on it years ago, and tonight I'm re-starting the research. Couple quick questions:

What's the tourist visa situation in Thailand now? I read years ago that it was constantly changing as far as the ability to do visa runs. Is it still 6 months and then you have to do a visa run?

My girlfriend speaks Spanish, native, and English as a second language. Have you ever heard of people teaching Spanish as a second language in Thailand? Obviously there's an English teaching market, I'm just not sure about Spanish.

Thanks so much
