What are the best options for immigrating to Thailand with a child, including schools, housing, and visa advice?

This discussion provides insights for an expatriate considering a move to Thailand from the UK with a young child. Key points include the high costs of international schools, with annual fees reaching hundreds of thousands of baht, often exceeding those of private schools in the UK. Renting is strongly advised over buying, as foreigners can only lease property and not own land outright. Recommendations suggest areas like Chiang Mai for affordability and some decent schooling options, priced around THB 210,000 per child per year. Additionally, potential visa challenges are highlighted, indicating the need to check visa requirements before planning the move.
