Prohibited Jobs
The basic rule of prohibited jobs in Thailand is much like anywhere else in the world; if a Thai is capable of doing a job, a foreigner is prohibited from doing so. To view the list of jobs prohibited by the Thai government, click here. 
Immigration / Visa Section

Unless you plan on entering Thailand for thirty days without a visa, obtaining a visa is the first thing you'll need to do. This section summarizes each visa and what is necessary to obtain one. Click here to find out more.
Transportation
Two useful websites with regards to your transportation around Bangkok and through other parts of Asia are Transit Bangkok  and Seat 61.

Transit Bangkok can help figure how to get from Point A to B via sky train, subway, bus and boat taxi and I use it regularly. Although not completely flawless, Transit Bangkok  can lead you in the right direction and make navigating the Bangkok transportation system much more simple. Seat 61 has long been a  favorite of train travelers. The site is the passion of British railwayman Mark Smith and provides information on how to travel by train anywhere in the world — anywhere there are trains. Smith has written two books, Man in Seat 61: A Guide to Taking The Train Through Europe and The Man in Seat 61: Beyond Europe. If you're planning a train trip in Thailand or anywhere else in the world, this site is the best, bar none.

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage
Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.
Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout
Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".
Step 3. Create A Blog
If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".
Step 4. Setup Blog Automation
Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.
