@Graham *****

really? I’ll have to look into that.

Put 800 k in the bank and get a retirement visa

@Ryan-Kristopher *******

why would you use her UK passport! If your dual always use your home passport when returning.

@Reidar *********

your clueless

@Lauren *****************

yes they have staff to handle that. What hospital?

I’d only bring in personal effects. The rest sell and buy new when you get here. Way more cost effective effective.

If she is studying why not get a education visa?

@Neil *****

yes but in phuket you won’t get close to western style anything for 10k

@Catherine **********

just curious. Have you spent any amount of time in Thailand prior to this move?

@Catherine **********

if your renting a small condo then that condo is probably set up for a single or 2 person family. Like someone mentioned it makes no sense to cook for yourself. In fact it will cost you more to cook in then eat out. Same goes for laundry. Get a large wash bucket and drying rack if you must do it yourself. That what most Thais do. If you want a washing machine go to laundry mat and do it yourself. You’ll need to park the US type housing and lifestyle at the airport when you arrive. That’s western style living is available here but you will be paying western prices (that includes food).
