Has anyone moved from the Middle East particularly Dubai / Kuwait to Thailand ?

Monthly budget for 2 in Chiang Mai?

I cant seem to turn up any results in the search bar and the youtubers are all over the place with answers.

Looking for a realistic budget for a couple to live in a city like Chiang Mai or equivalent, walking distance to shopping, love eating local when we've travelled and using wet markets for fresh produce.

Might either rent a scooter or just use Grab to get around.

Would like a 1 to 2 bedroom unit ideally with pool and gym.

Thanks very much

Quick question, will my TM30 be valid if the land lord files it like 5 days prior to my arrival?

I rent a house with my wife, however I don’t stay in Thailand much as I have to Work in the USA while we wait on my wife’s US CR1 visa process, and I mentioned to them I’ll need the TM30.

However they want my passport page now, as if they want to do it now.

I won’t be staying long enough to have to do 90 day reporting, but I will have to get a certificate of residence to update my drivers licenses, as my first 2 years ends in February.

Concerned them doing it ahead of time will somehow cause problems later.

Found a house near Hua Hin area that finally feels right — big space, rare 2 master bedrooms, perfect setup. Owner dropped rent from 45k to 35k/month with 1 month free, but only if we cover repainting, deep clean, small repairs, and all new furniture (looking like 100k+ upfront). If it were turnkey it’d probably go for 55–70k. We do plan to stay long term, but not sure if the landlord will be reliable since he’s pushing all work on us. Would you take it at 35k + repairs, or keep searching?

How much does it cost total monthly to live well in Bangkok for a single person?

Hey, chris here!

We are looking at getting DTV and going Phuket way.

Any recommendation?

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!

What do I select on my DTV application regarding accommodation type/address if I have not relocated yet and have not found housing (too soon)???

My relocation date is in July!

We are looking to relocate to Thailand via the DTV soft power, ideally in May-June. We have the required funds and stable online income. Our plan was to go for 60 days under tourist visa, look at different areas and decide where we'd fit best as well as locating schools in that area. Then possibly flying to Vietnam to apply for the DTV. What do you do for housing without actually having a long term visa? Just rent short term, pay for classes and hope for the best? Just wondering everyones experiences, and recommended course of action.

What’s the best method of finding long term accommodations is there any good groups for it?

Hello, I'm a flang married to a Thai lady and we want to buy a house, can it be in joint names? (I'm on a retirement visa)

Thanks very much
