You have picked two very different places!
Do you have language skills? What kind of work would you be looking for?
You have the right to work in Spain, so legally that would not be an issue. I'm not sure about Thailand TBH.
Why are you bored of this country? Have you thought about going to another area of the UK? xGone ... or have I?0 -
I suspect you don't have the qualifications to collect a working visa to work in Thailand, but that wouldn't deprive you of the possibility of working illegally like many people, although I believe Thai Immigration has cracked down on people making Visa Runs.
Spain would be a great option. You have the right to work straight off.0 -
Spain is a good option if you speak spanish! I know it sounds obvious but you will have a lot more employment options and more earning potential if you can actually speak the language. I also happen to think it's just bad manners to go and live in another country if you have no knowledge of the language.0

I agree with Rubia1409 - Spain is easier because you are allowed to work there but actually getting a job, particularly out of season will be difficult. I have a place over there so go regularly and have lost count of the number of people who have tried to make themselves a new life there but have had to return to the UK because they have run out of money. Normally there are bar jobs around but probably few and far between at that time of year. But....if you do decide to go Good Luck!0
