Planning on moving to Thailand with the family from the Philippines. We will ship most of our kitchen appliances etc. I would like to ship my record album collection ~3500 albums, based on what I have been reading, I would be paying hefty taxes and duty fees??? Does anybody have any information on shipping bulk items such as this? (these are personal use, not for resale)

What are some tips, dos and don’ts that you can share when renting an apartment in Bangkok?

How about rental agreements? Anything to watch out for?

Hi and thanks for letting me be here :)

I've always wanted to finally end up living in Thailand or somewhere else in SE Asia after spending decades living in Hong Kong (I can still live there too). I'm just so confused as to how to do this based on my life situation. In a nutshell (from UK and now living here ) I have a home to sell eventually if it came to that ( or rent out while im checking Thailand out). I will continue working (online teacher) and I receive alimony monthly (if that matters lol).

Im not sure which route to take 🤔. Could anyone spell it out for me in simple terms please as to the best way to make this happen :) thanks 😊 🙏

Anyone from bahamas living in Thailand and was the process easy looking to move in April

Hi, can someone recommend a Thai tax advisor? I'm planning on moving from the US to Thailand and need to understand the tax implications. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m from Australia and have just been granted my DTV visa. I’ll be relocating permanently and bringing my two parrots with me. At the moment I’m deciding between shipping my belongings as freight or keeping things minimal. I do need to bring their large stainless steel cage at the very least, so I’m trying to figure out the most cost-effective way to do this. I’ve also heard that people who arrive on a DTV visa with freight shipments can get hit with heavy import customs taxes—can anyone confirm if that’s true?

It seems like so many people are having issues getting/ renewing their visas. I noticed many people are having problems with the banks too. This makes me weary about our upcoming move… any suggestions

hello to all!

need advice, moving to Thailand next month with 1 dog.

Am I forced to take an A/R flight or will just one way do it? , I don't risk being refused because I will return with a tourist visa and then ask for my retirement visa on the spot?

where should the retirement visa procedures be done before coming back?

Do you have a solution to my problem?

Thank you

Bonjour à tous !

j'ai besoin de conseil, je vais m'installer en Thaïlande le mois prochain avec 1 chien.

Suis-je obligé de prendre un vol A/R ou juste un allé simple peut suffir?, je ne risque pas de me faire refuser car je vais rentrer avec un visa touriste et ensuite sur place demander mon visa retraite?

ou faudrait-il faire les démarches de visa retraite avant de venir?

avez vous une solution à mon problème?

Merci

Hey, chris here!

We an are ~30 couple, British and Canadian. We like peacefulness, walking distance to massage places, gyms and spas etc, also good amenities like cinema etc.

Also how much cost $ is it roughly to furnish a 3 bed house 🙂

Thanks!
