Opportunities for Foreigners in Tech or Social Media Marketing in Bangkok?

I am a software developer with over 5 years of experience, primarily in JAMstack, and have recently delved into mobile development with React Native. Additionally, I have another 5 years of experience in sales, marketing, and eCommerce.
I'm currently exploring opportunities for office work in Thailand, whether it's with startups, projects, or any ventures where my skills can contribute. I understand that many tech roles might require a foreign manager, such as a tech lead, to meet visa requirements, as Thailand prioritizes jobs for Thai workers, from my understanding.
I'm not seeking fortunes, just an interesting and cool opportunity. If you have any leads or know people who might benefit from my expertise, feel free to DM me. I'm also open to providing a finder's fee if a job contract is secured.
Thanks!
Yeah the Bangkok dev slack group is a good shout. You could also try the facebook group "Bangkok Tech Jobs" or "Bangkok Digital Nomads" - people post looking for devs with ecommerce experience pretty regularly there. For the visa stuff, look into the Smart Visa program, it's designed for tech workers and you don't need to be a manager to qualify.
honestly your skillset is pretty solid for the bangkok scene. the visa thing is less strict for tech than people think, a lot of startups here just hire through a service like igloo or belay for the work permit stuff so you don't need to be a "manager" necessarily. check out the bangkok .dev slack group, there's a jobs channel that gets random leads posted pretty often. also the hubba coworking spaces in thonglor or ekkamai sometimes have bulletin boards or events where founders are literally looking for a react native person on the spot.
The Bangkok tech scene is honestly more about who you know than what you know. Try hitting up some meetups at GetLinks or the Bangkok Hackerspace, founders there are always looking for devs with sales backgrounds.
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.
for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.
honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
