Planing on moving jan 2026. Family of 4. Also 2 cats 2 dogs. Any advice?

I pan on doing dtv visa for me and my husband is going to do education visa.

Also what do you think is a good monthly income for a family of 4 in bangkok or phuket? Or other cities i should look into?

"I received my DTA visa last year in November, and I'm currently based in Australia. I work in Australia, where my primary income source is, but I’m planning to move to Pattaya for good. I’m drawn to the lower cost of living and a more peaceful lifestyle there compared to the hustle and bustle here.

I have a fair bit of savings (about 150k AUD) and plan to live off them for the first 1.5 years. My monthly budget is roughly 30,000–40,000 THB. I’m not a partygoer and would like insights into potential monthly expenses, including:

* Rent

* Food

* Transport

Could those familiar with the cost of living in Pattaya provide realistic estimates or advice on this plan? Thanks in advance!"

Attention all retirees! This one's just for you! 👍👍👍

Is this the beginning of the end for Thailand?

A small question from someone (me) who might possibly retire in Thailand one day: For a small condo, how much will I pay for electricity per month (using a/c)? And how much for water?

Thx.

Edit: My question was rather vague, I know 😂.

But I was just looking for a price RANGE - and I thank all of you for giving me that!!!🙏🙏🙏

Hello to everyone 🫡

I want to come to Thailand for a extended holiday… I sold my truck and its time for a holiday too 🙂

Please help me with the knowledge about tourist visa requirements 🙏🏻

How much money do I need to have/month for a good holiday?

Is the country safe?

Are theives there?

The police have power?

If make a mistake, they send you to jail or they judge you first?

Thanks for your answers!

Hello everyone. Coming back to Thailand for 4 to 6 months but on a bit of a budget so around 9 to 12k a month is best until my plans start to kick in. Will be back and forth from Hua Hin/ Cha Am to Pattaya/ Jomtien and looking for rental sites for monthlies studios. Any suggestions would be appreciated

How much do “border runs” typically cost? I wanted to get the DTV visa but it doesn’t look like i’m going to have the 450,000 Baht before my flight on Oct 10

i’m from US. I’ll be staying in Koh Samui, on whatever other Visa i can get. ( i guess tourist visa) trying to figure up how much it’ll cost to refresh it

What is the attitude of Thailand regarding farang retiring here to pass? Like, not the guys who go broke and want to do weird shit before hopping out hotel windows, but just like really old/sick people?

Did anyone notice you get more your money by going to the Phillipines than Thailand?
