Start Your New Life as an Expat in Bangkok

The city of Bangkok is a large, exciting metropolis in Thailand. As one of Southeast Asia's most popular tourist destination, Bangkok is famous for its bustling markets and delicious street food, and there is never a dull moment to be had in Bangkok. Its traditional architecture and culture is also an important part of the city, with the bustling, boat-filled Chao Phraya River feeding a large network of canals, the impressive Grand Palace, as well as a number of beautiful sacred temples and monuments within the city. In addition to these fabulous landmarks, it is worthwhile to spend one day just to take on a street food tour and discover authentic Thai food. Traditional Thai dishes such as Lad Na and Pad Thai surely won't fail to delight your taste buds and are generally very inexpensive. In fact, many people choose Thailand and Bangkok because of the personal finance appeal. In Thailand the cost of living is very low, and so you can enjoy a large disposable income and the best possible personal finance situation by moving there. It also has a high level of medical care, which is often attractive to retirees looking for a cheaper place to retire and families who are looking for a bit of an adventure. With regards to accommodation, there is a wide variety of options for expats, from free-standing family homes typically found in the suburban residential areas to serviced accommodation in luxury condominiums or high-rise apartments. When looking for accommodation, it pays to bear in mind that depending on the wherever you live, commuting can be quite frustrating due to hectic traffic conditions. Generally, Rachatewi and Chao Phraya River are popular districts among expats since it is convenient to reach various amenities in a short period of time. Use either online property portals, or, even better, go to local real estate agencies for help with the fast-moving real-estate market in Bangkok. While the language can be difficult to pick up, many expats find Thai people to be extremely friendly and welcoming. However, learning some Thai prior to your move or while you are in Bangkok can help you gain a deeper insight into local customs. It will also prove to be a big advantage for simply getting around or when searching for a job. The economy in Thailand is centered on exporting industrial and agricultural goods, including electronic goods and cars. As the largest city and the commercial center, working in Bangkok often means working in finance, tourism, or education. Thailand attracts a massive four million workers from other countries and the Thai currency has remained stable throughout the global economic crash and recovery.

    It' such a a pity that we have to leave Bangkok soon. I'll miss the InterNations expat community so much, especially the great events!
