The only difficult part is finding a job that will allow you to have so much time off.
This can be overcome in many many ways
By having a skill or trade that is always needed.
Working temps jobs, or contract work.
Being self employed or freelance.

Hi Southern Rabbit,
Not sure where you obtained the salary figure from, I suspect someone is being very optimistic when they quoted it. I've not much knowledge of the South of Thailand but can tell you that in the North Chiang Rai/Mai area thats not even close to the going rate.
As an example of Thai salaries my friend is a professor at Rajbat university and is senior his salary is 25000 baht per month. (He's Thai) The average salary for a graduate in Chiang Rai is 6000 Baht per month. (Unless good english then its higher.)
I have four English teacher friends in Chiang Rai, Two work with Hill Tribes, One works at the University and one at local schools. Three have the full certifcations obtained before entering Thailand none of them earn over 25000 baht a month. (I suspect the South is probably about 10000 Baht more per month) I can imagine you would earn more in Bangkok for example but the cost of living is higher. About the only place I could think you would earn that higher salary is at one of the private schools in the south and my guess is that getting a position their will be like getting blood out of a stone.
All of my friends in the North live like paupers, and the constant gripe is that Thailand pays the lowest salary in all of Asia for English teachers. (Because everyone seems to want to live there!) Now if you get certified and want to earn money then the country to try is South Korea which does pay considerably more. One of my friends heads there every 3 months and teaches English with the money they save they return to Thailand and subsidise there earnings. (They Teach the Hill tribes and love the people hence the reason they are prepared to continue doing this.)
It looks wonderful on paper to live in Thailand but the reality of obtaining a position in the country that pays enough money to allow you to live reasonably well by western standards are few and far between. English teachers can scrape by if they have the correct qualifications but do not expect to earn large amounts. If your young and can live more like a Thai then it can be a wonderful experience and teach you a great deal but dont expect the cash available to visit a LB very often. (Unless you meet one socially.)
Sorry to seem to put a damper on your expectations but as many posts on the employments topic mention from people living full-time in Thailand the reality of finding work and earning a good living are very rare.
