How do you think living in Thailand it's expensive one? 🤔

I'm currently on a DTV and have been in Phuket since July. I'll be exiting next month, close to the 180 days I am allowed to stay here.

I am planning to fly to Singapore and I am wondering if it is necessary to stay a night before I return, or I can catch a flight on the same day back to Phuket.

Any advice is appreciated.

I answered questions. My wife and I are retired and live gold coast Australia.

Looking for local advise, thinking May next year.

1 week in phuket, 2 weeks in koh samui

Can someone suggest an agency in Phuket that was successful 🙏 thanks

Hello everyone! I hope you're well.

I'm a 46 year old woman from UK. I'm planning on moving to Thailand on DTV soon and looking to rent a property for myself for 3, 6 or 12 months. (I may move around Thailand but coming to Phuket first). I've heard there are lots of scams with renting property.

Can I ask what I need to check in terms of documents, information, credentials, bank accounts, ID, qualifications and anything else to make sure both the agent and landlord are legitimate and my rent is going to the correct account etc?

Edit. I'm aware to not transfer online and wait to view and meet the person. My question is related to documents, info ID as above.

Thank you so much for your help 😁✨️

Can anyone recommend a Muay Thai School in Phuket - Rawai Area that is registered,is able to provide the necessary documents and offers affordable 6 months plans (Max 30k)

I want to apply for Dtv visa, Soft power muay thai or cooking course.

My question is if the course has to have a minimum lenght to be accepted.

I'm still not sure whether to live in Phuket or Koh Samui, and what would be the exact location in one these 2 islands.

I don't want to pay for a course in one place if then I decide to live in another.

Would Muay Thai be accepted for a 55 years old woman? Obviously I dont want to go on the ring, but would love to get fitter. I regularly go to the gym and I can consider to do something more challenging. I would start from a basic course.

Thank you

Anyone can suggest a cooking course in Phuket (Bang Tao or Rawai area) that can also release documentation for dtv?

Is it necessary that the course lasts 6 months?

I would prefer 3 months as I'm not sure yet what part I want to live in, and definetely want to take part to the course.

Many thanks!

Hello, I have lived in Phuket about 20 months but have just recently moved to a house we are renting from some Thai friends. This is their first time to do the TM30 for tenants and they showed us today that it is still showing as Pending on the immigration site after more than a week since submitting. Is that normal? We thought usually it was a very straightforward and easy thing for a landlord to do. They are not sure what to do about it.

Could someone send me a blank copy of the residency certificate form for Phuket or direct me to where I can download 🙂. For driving licence application
