This falls under the " & More" category and if there is a better group for this question, please let me know.

Has anyone else developed lung nodules shortly after moving to Thailand? If so, what was the testing and treatment you received.

I guess you have misunderstood the & More part. It doesn't include health issues.

try Ramathibuti hospital, or Chulalongkorn hospital in Bangkok They are very inexpensive, and are actual medical professionals.

Unfortunately, the lung nodules showed up in both lungs on a CT calcium score at Pattaya Bangkok Hospital after only being in Thailand for two months and then a couple of months later on at PET\CT scan at Bangkok hospital through an oncologist at Samitivej Sukhumvit. They did not mention other potential causes like PM2.5 or sarcoidosis or tuberculosis and didn't want to test for those. I was wondering if many expats have lung nodules show up on scans.

No, they did not. Because I had colon cancer two years ago and since it tends to spread to either the liver or lungs, they were focused on cancer recurrence as the most likely option and didn't want to test for anything else
