Hi again,
Thanks for your responses; they kind of told me what I thought would happen with regards to my wife's employment. She teaches English Literature and Language from Key Stage 3 to GCSE and A Levels. She has also been teaching for almost 4 years - again I'm not sure if that matters, but I think that employers abroad look for a particular number of years experience before employing someone(?).
To answer your question, we're both British, and aged 30 and 26 respectively (I'm not sure if this matters with Thailand, but I know it does with Australia so I though I'd mention it). We will be in Thailand for a month from around the 24th of July this summer, so it'd be good if you could perhaps suggest agencies (embassies?) that we should meet while we're actually in the country?
We really appreciate your advice with this as we've got no idea how to go through the process of emigrating yet and any help is gratefully received!
Thanks again,
Scott and Emma

As Cynthia pointed out, your wife should have no problem in getting a job as a teacher., depending on her qualifications etc and school, or University she applies to, the salary will be relative. Salaries range from 30000 to 60000 baht a month as a rough guide, these figures are based on people who I have met and teach in Bangkok. The guy making 60000 baht has been teaching in Thailand for 11 years and the 30000 baht guy for 1 year. The type of visa you get is dependent on your situation. Your wife should she have a job here will have no problems in staying here on the long term. Will you survive once here? The only way you will know this answer, is to take the step in the direction you want to go. Nothing ventured, nothing gained is a common phase people quote. Should you be this way in the future, and I can be off asistance, then send an email. I live in Bangkok, saying that I will be out of country from the 17 April for approximately 3 to 4 months, and am unable to access email where I will be. Anyaway good luck and welcome.
