Hi everyone,
I'm Carlos, a freelance marketer who's relocating to Bkk in May. I was in Thailand long time ago and loved the culture and vibe, specially the food! I hope I can travel a lot to nearby SEA countries while I am there... Bkk has proved one of my favourites Asian cities so far... Kao Pad Khai here I come!
Cheers,

Hello, I am Steve and I plan to retire in Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2020.  We have each been to Thailand four times and find it very nice.

I am working to learn Thai now so that I can speak at least passable Thai.  We have survived on the very basics of language in the past and since we plan to live there we are working to hone our language skills.  I got on a website and connected with some people in Thailand that are looking to learn more English.  I enjoy my conversations with the people I  have met online.

We are working now to unwind our lives from America.  We have to sell or get rid of all the stuff in our house and get ourselves ready to move to Thailand.  It is surprising how much stuff one collects over time.

We think that the best at first is to go with no car or motorbike.  I have driven a motorbike there before.  We may get one later as I get used to driving on the Left.  It takes a lot of mental energy to keep to the left after so many years on the right.

We think that getting around a lot on foot will get us more exercise and be healthy for us.  We can always use Tuk Tuks or Red Trucks to get around.  Uber seems to be available as well.

I have found Google Maps is good for looking around without being there.

Best wishes everyone.

Hi Everyone,

I just moved to Phuket from England. I will be here 6 months, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of fun things I can do in the area. I don't have a car so I have to rely on walking and taxis although I was thinking about learning how to drive a motorbike.

Chloe

Hi

Be very careful if you get a motorbike.  Expect the unexpected, driving/riding a motorbike in Thailand is dangerous.  Can't help you with activities in Phuket as I live in Jomtien.  If you do get a motorbike?scooter.  Buy a cheap one, will work out cheaper than a long term rental. Good luck and enjoy your stay in Thailand.

where in phuket? i have friends who are in a band (musicians)..if you interested in live music you will enjoy watching them, im a band member too but im in koh samui,,if you will visit koh samui i have a lot of good places for you to advice.

I work in Patong, but I'm living in Kathu, oooh what type of music?

RNB..hiphop..rock..its a party band they are all from philippines you will enjoy it they are really good..wait i will ask where in phuket they are

Julien, thanks for the welcome mate.
I am a retired, divorced Australian on a pension. I am looking for a more relaxed and cost of living lifestyle.
I would love to hear from other expats as far as the cost of living, rent etc. goes living in Chiang Mai goes.
At first I would not be living on a shoestring, but a pair of thongs. Pardon the pun.
Its great to be here and hope I get some positive reviews from the forum.
Take care all, Brian 

There is another string which has a break down of many things and resources. I live in Chiang Mai. I can live very well on 30k - 35k baht a month. You could add another $500 US if you wanted to live larger, and enjoy drinking. I have a 2 bedroom furnished house for 12k baht a month.
Warning; The bar scene can be fun. After awhile chasing the hangovers lead to a dead end. Just a little friendly reminder.
There is an increasing Australian population in Chiang Mai. You can start meeting them at the expat breakfasts. (Keep away from a guy named David McPhee, he's trouble.)

Hi there

Last summer I spent some time in Chiang Mai and Koh Samui. I really liked both places and the obvious contrasts.
Throughout my professional career I have been a High School teacher in Scotland and Japan. (M.Ed qualified). I have combined this with my passion tennis and as a professional coach, have taught tennis all over Europe plus Japan and Russia.
So I hope this information about me is suitable. I also hope to develop my interest in Traditional Thai massage and treatments by taking over a shop in Chiang Mai.

I look forward to hearing from you and benefiting from your experienced advice

Chris

Thanks Nicky, you would be a handy lady to know as I am planing to retire to Chiang Mai in the near future.
Hope we can keep in touch with questions I may happen to have as time goes by.
Take care , Brian

Good Day Everyone,

I have been living here for over four years having retired early with my wife to her home in Khorat. The reason why I am on this forum is because the cost of living here is becoming a bit too much and I had bee idly looking around at alternative places to end my days.

In saying that I do not actively seek out other expats for friendship as having worked the majority of my life outside the UK I do not have a very high opinion of some of my fellow expats and their approach to their host country.

We are here and if one day we bump into you and get along fine then that is great and I hope it works out well.

We move about a lot within the LoS so that is a very real possibility

Kind regards,

Hi all, Dimi here. As a world traveler, I've always recommended Thailand in my top 5 destinations to anyone looking to move abroad for the first time. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, the breathtaking natural beauty. Secondly, the friendly and accommodating people. Thirdly, and most importantly, the huge amount of work opportunities, particularly in the English teaching profession. The Thai government actively encourages English tuition throughout every educational level, from primary school to Tertiary institutions. And the demand keeps growing. Whether you're just an English speaking foreigner or a fully qualified teacher, there are job opportunities for any skill level.

Hello All

My name is Laurel. My husband and I have visited CM several times for a few months each time. We're retired, from the U.S. and have been traveling for the last three years solid. We are in our mid 60's and love to travel. At this time, however, there is a more pressing need. While paragliding in Nepal, I had a fall in with a tree and lost. The groin pull was bad enough and almost healed, but now I have a sciatic nerve pinch. I would ask for help in finding a good chiropractor in Chiang Mai. They have helped me with the sciatic nerve pinch before. I need to get where I can move and walk correctly before I aggravate the pull again.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am in the Old City near the Suan Dok Gate area if that helps.

Thanks, guys
