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

Hi Folks! Just joined today, have lived in Thailand before {Koh Phangan}, coming back in October. Staying in Pattaya/Jomtien for the first year, may I ask what is the preferred Apartment .listing site?

I will also [badly] need a Dentist asap

Thank you! - Pat

Hi everyone! I am kinda new here and hopefully some of you can give me some advice concerning renting a studio or small appartment in Bangkok. I am traveling to Bangkok with a non O based on retirement arranged in my home country the Netherlands. I booked a hotel for a month in the Phra Nakhon district. During that month i will be able to look around concerning renting a studio/small appartment in the BKK area. I would prefer to live in a local area on a street level. Last year i visited Thonburi, west of the Chao Phraya river, and i loved that area. Distance to public transportation is not really an issue for me. My standards are basic. A small furnished studio for 1 person with airco would fit me perfect. I guess airco is unbeatable in BKK….

What is the best strategy to find a studio in BKK? Do you use the internet or do you suggest to walk around in an certain area and just explore if something is available? Recommended internet sites to search for a studio? Accompanying a thai speaking person or will english be sufficient?

I would appreciate any suggestions from you all!

Have a great sunday and thanks for reading my post.

Kind regards

Koen

Hello

We are a retired couple plans to move to Bangkok. Our monthly pension and rental income is about USD 3,000.- is the amount enough to comfortably live in BKK?

Moving to Thailand in the next 60 days being retired

Looking for an honest real estate agent to help me with finding a condo in Pattaya or Jomtien area............any real recommendations 🙏

If this post should be directed someplace else please let me know. Considering Thailand retirement moving from the US. We are planning to re-visit this year to more carefully explore preferred cities in terms of residing. My question is - are there neighborhoods or communities surrounding Bangkok that would be recommended to consider? We are not interested in condo/high rise living. Prefer to rent/lease a house with a bit of a yard since we are used to that plus would be moving with our dogs. Appreciate any informed opinions/advice.

Hi all, hope you are having a great week

Property rental

May I ask, under normal circumstances, when you rent a property for the first time, what is usually the initial outlay

For example,

Would you normally be expected to pay a security deposit/ bond

If so, is that usually the equivalent of 1 months rent

Would you normally be expected to pay for the first 2 months upfront?

I am just trying to get a rough estimate how much money we will initially need to ‘settle down’ once in Thailand

Thanks if advance
