i thought of that but my wife and I agreed we don't want to deprived our kids of the school environment, making friends, sports days and all the activities etc that school offers. We were planning to move to Pattaya but we are in the Philippines where schools are 10% of the cost of Thailand
you might want to check out schools costs first. It's extremely expensive. It will shock you how much private schools are. Or go to public school but sub standard.
