You don’t need to speak much Thai if you live in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, or the more popular beach resort cities. You can get by with no Thai at all unless you intend to live in rural Thailand.
Thailand does not have a remote worker visa like some European countries do. The requirements for the DTV (erroneously called a digital nomad visa) look hard to satisfy, and then you only get to stay 180 days in a year.
Thailand does offer other visas you can research. Digital nomads in Thailand typically come and go on tourist visas. Look into Thailand Privilege (formerly Thailand Elite) for a decent visa you can just pay for.
Honestly without a college degree and a high income you can document, combined with a passport that I guess limits your options, you will have to put significant effort into moving anywhere long-term. Look into Indonesia and Malaysia, both friendly to immigrants and nomads, cheap, safe, if not democratic in the American/western European sense.
