First of all, you must find a foreign company that will hire you. So you can get a work permit and be able to get a visa too, for at least a yearly visa, renewable every three months within the country. If you are legally married to your girlfriend, you can use your marriage certificate to get a visa too. Foreign firms pay better to enable you to live the life you used to be. Local companies give salaries that might not be enough for you to sustain the living you used to live!

Probably highly unlikely. I guess you are an expert. where X is the unknown factor and spurt is a drip under pressure

It is possible, although unless you have a connection to a company that is hiring it is highly unlikely you will find such a job. You won't find any jobs like that advertised in Thailand and any openings a company might have would normally be quickly filled internally or through word of mouth.

There are two options for you here. 1) Marry your girlfriend and obtain a Marriage Visa in Thailand, then seek a job in the country. 2) Apply for a job in Thailand and when you will receive a job offer from a company who will be hiring you as an engineer, obtain a 90 day Non-Immigrant B Visa in your home country. Documents are to be provided by your employer to obtain the initial 90 รข€“day non immigrant B visa. Once you enter in Thailand, your company will have to issue you a work permit, so the process of the permit should take place before you will start working. However, since engineering positions in Thailand are likely to be preserved for Thai nationals, the Labor department might question why the company needs foreign engineer when there are Thai engineers, during the application of your work permit. In that case, your position might not state that you are an "engineer", but it might say " engineering consultant" And with this regard, you can supervise staffs on site but as an engineering consultant.
