What should I consider as an expat moving to Thailand with my Thai husband?

Thailand is a great country with great people. However, most of what you see in the news is either Bangkok, tourist cities (phuket, pattaya), or politics.

If you want to do good research find some of the less popular places to review.

I have to imagine it is a lot different to live in Rural Thailand (known as Isan) then it is to live in cities full of Foreigners.

To that end.. I speak no Thai and find it fun to go visit near by villages, but then I go back to Pattaya where English is good enough. If you are no going to live in a foreigner community you will want to learn Thai.

Good luck...beautiful country, amazing friendly people. We came three years ago and haven't left 🙏

Welcome to the group. I'm sure youll make the right choice.

What are you asking about getting married in Thailand?

If you are married to a Thai national, females have a quite fast track to Thai permanent residency and citizenship. Even after 3 years in Thai, become a Thai citizen. Research the road to that situation.

Try you tube. That will give you many perspectives of many different places in Thailand to live.

Native? Thai? Why you try to research for him? 😅😆

Take everything you read from Tod Daniels as being true and factual. He is the Visa guru.

Which city are you thinking about?

You have come to the correct place for help and advice Lynne.

Ignore/block any negative responses and take the advice of the moderators like John and you will not go far wrong.

By native I assume you mean he's a Thai national, with Thai passport and Thai ID?
