international school is peng maak maak. They definitely charge you raakaa farang. You can look up the prices online. Each school is private and has their own prices. Maybe 20k pound a year. I am not sure.
You can move your family and just get a dtv for 5 years that you are married to a Thai. This will bring you to 50. But international school is going to be peng maak maak for your daughters. You might want to get a online job before you move. That 2k pound is not going to cover it.
use your mobile phone at an atm to withdraw your money and it is free. If you deposit cash into a different branch then they will charge you a small fee. But I use wise to deposit money so it is okay. Worst case scenario, tell the misses you "have to" go to Pattaya to deposit money. You'll have to stay the night too since it is dangerous to go back.
My ex Thai gf told me she wants me to bring her back to LA for a whole month so she can enjoy the socal life. I straight off told her I can do 2 wks max because she would bankrupt me. We broke up the next week because I choose not to be broke. So guys, don't bring your gf back to your home country. It is a lose-lose situation.
Thailand is always an exporter of goods, so it makes their stuff more expensive. A stronger baht is not good for them. Also, they are not hitting their tourism numbers this year. The Chinese economy is struggling. It is pathetic that the government has to give 10k baht starting this week to struggling individuals to simulate the local economy. For sure, I know they are selling bonds to give out the 10k per person. They are giving money they don't have in their budget.
I think you are fine with an ed visa from a university. It is the ones with an ed visa from a language school in Pattaya that would be questions. Come on, it is an open secret that the language schools in Pattaya are scam schools. Just make sure you have a re-entry permit with a letter from the school.
