Im seriously considering moving to Thailand at this point, chiang mai specifically, and figured i have enough money put back to live for about 1-1.5 years finding a cheap $75 a month apartment or thereabouts. In that period of time, ill need to find a job. Is it possible for expats to get a job say stocking shelves or something at a grocery? How easy is it to find employment? Does the population speak much English? What should I know before leaving? Any tips or advice welcome.

From what i know a lot of people have done it, im not even sure what visa to purchase
Honestly, if you want to stay their long term, one of your best options is going to be teaching English. You're going to need a visa to work, too. From what I am reading, when you sign a contract with a school in Thailand, like I have done here in Taiwan, they will provide you with the documentation to obtain a non immigrant b visa. Unless you speak fluent Thai, you options are quite limited. Starting a business is another possibility. I have foreign friends here in Taiwan that operate pizza trucks and do pretty well.
