What are some recommended areas to live in Thailand for a new expat?

I read an article yesterday where they're going to focus on you very rich the elite the 1% of the population coming to Thailand they think one of those will replace a thousand tourists or expats. leave me getting the what's called a typo non-immigration Visa or commonly referred to as a retirement Visa a lot harder. Even with one of these visas you still have to report every 90 days. And you have to maintain I think the amount is somewhere close to $28,000 a month every month in your banking account it can never dipped below that and you must show proof for that every time you report.I would recommend the Philippines because it's just like living in Thailand and almost everyone there speaks English after the Philippines I would look at laos or Vietnam. Read the Bangkok post . And Thai news to see what is happening day to day .

I just left Thailand after living here for three years on a retirement Visa my wife is in Thailand and having trouble getting back to her because of the restrictions however I would not recommend going to Thailand the government has become hostile and aggressive towards tourist and expats.

A airbnb for a permanent move??

Hi Stephen,

I have the room for rent in Thailand,



If you’re interested

Thank you

Probably trolling i think - if you spend the remaining money on a plane ticket, i recommend "View Talay" near the beach - anything higher than 10th floor should be good. As long as you have money you take the front door - if money is gone you take the "balcony accident" exit - like many others that came with no cash or spent their cash on the wrong girl/business/dream/castle in the sky ...

Think this might be a bullshit post but not sure

You’d better dot all the ‘I’ and cross the ‘T’ and have the paperwork these days. They are cleaning out the overstayers and freeloaders and making it harder to stay here. Accommodation is the least of your problems ;-)

Yes do what martin green is telling you good advice

If you’re planning to stay on a tourist visa, it’s not long term. You’ll be doing costly and tiresome border runs every three months. If you have a degree, you can work as an English teacher there which gives you a Non B visa and work permit which would allow you to stay in Thailand for a year. Both are renewable but depends on whether your employer wants to keep you. The job also gives you extra money to top up your monthly allowance. Thailand is getting more and more expensive.

If you’re into big city life, Bangkok is the place to be. If you’re into a more laid back lifestyle then look at Issan-the Northeastern part of Thailand ( look up Udon Thani, Khon Khaen, Nongkhai, etc) or up North (Phrae, Nan, Lampang, Chiangrai and Chiangmai)

If you wanna spend more time at the beaches then look at the Southern places such as Samui or Phuket, etc.

However, I do agree with the other commenters saying you should travel around Thailand first to see what it’s like. Doing that for a few month you’ll be fully informed and prepared when you finally move there.

Have u ever been to Thailand before?

Stay at home

Is your wife Thai or from the Philippines ?

Sounds like you'll not be able to live in Thailand (at least at the moment)

Too young to retire.

Not enough money to satisfy immigration requirements.

Tourist visa can be eked out for quite a while with border bounces, extensions etc, but they're tightening up on those who try living in the Kingdom under the wrong visa.

As others have said, come for a few months to see how it suits you, then think about options to stay longer.

Why would you want to move to a country when you have no idea where you want to actually move to once there?

Come over for a few months and see what there is. Your budget is tight that’s for sure so you’ll be out of town somewhere. Consider transport when you’re here and how you’ll get around. You won’t be able to live here on a tourist visa without loads of issues, especially once the country opens up again.

Thailand is a fantastic place to visit and live, but be under no illusions, this place can also be your worst nightmare if you try to be clever with the rules. Best bet is to visit and stay for 6 months then make an informed decision And get the right visa for your needs

If you need to be asking you haven't given it enough thought or research. ..say home.

Really depends upon what you like doing. Thailands a big country. You surf or climb you would want to be down south etc etc

If you’re thinking of retiring here, why not spend 6 months or so travelling around, living in one place for a month (cheaper option than shorter stays). This will allow you to experience the location, figure out the prices and the possibility of meeting others. Thailand is a big Country, and as different as say, Brighton and Basingstoke!

What visa will you be on?

What's your age?

Where have you been in Thailand before and which did you prefer?

You say you're not into "going out", but what ARE you going to do?

I know I'm asking loads of questions, but it helps us to answer ... a small village in isaan, central Bangkok and samui (for example) are very different and attract different people.
