But if you showed up as a tourist, talked someone into giving you a job as a trainee plumber or something, that would work too.

Well aside from the ridiculous visa situation, its a good country to live in.
Basically in Thailand you cannot work, full stop. Any work that a thai national could do, or be trained to do you cannot do (as a foreigner).
Also you cannot own land or basically anything. It all has to be owned by a thai company. There are loopholes to the system (IE. making your company 51% thai owned, but giving them no power) but it's a real hassle.
But if you don't mind that, come visit!
