I've been looking for a shop where to buy German food here in Bangkok. Fellow expats on InterNations finally told me how to find the right stores.
Living in Pattaya
Located on the east coast of Thailand, Pattaya is a beautiful and thriving city which has a great appeal with expatriates because of its many beaches as well as the stunning surroundings. The city has the nickname “The Resort City” since it is particular popularity with tourists. As a resort city, Pattaya has plenty to offer in terms of sights, culture and entertainment and expats living in Pattaya will be able to take advantage of visiting areas such as Pattaya Beach which is bustling, lively and home to a large number of shops, restaurants and hotels in the city. The city also has a large number of golf courses, a zoo, the Nong Nooch Tropical Botanic Gardens as well as more cultural attractions such as the Sanctuary of Truth, a remarkable building made entirely of wood which houses various traditional Buddhist and Hindu sculptures. The city also hosts a number of annual festivals and celebrations which can be enjoyed by expats living in Pattaya.

Moving to Pattaya
The cost of living in Pattaya is considered to be low, and much lower than the cost of living in other major resort cities. Located approximately 100km from the Thai capital Bangkok, the city is located on the coast and any expatriate moving to Pattaya will find that the city has a tropical wet and dry climate. Whilst temperatures are hot all year round, the driest months are from December until February. Expats relocating to Pattaya will find that the city has a number of recommended schools, including a choice of international schools. There are a number of ways to get around Pattaya including road, rail and bus – which also offer easy connections to Bangkok and other destinations in Thailand. Expatriates new to the city should join InterNations, the largest online expat community in the world, the members of which could help provide information and advice about moving to Pattaya and Thailand in general.
Working in Pattaya
Pattaya has a growing economy, largely thanks to the tourism industry, which provides a number of work opportunities in a number of areas. Expatriates working in Pattaya may find work in retail, hotel, leisure and other areas as well as in other business related fields such as finance, technology, customer services and more. Education is also a popular industry to work in, with a number of expats in Pattaya choosing to work as language teachers. In order to get the most useful and accurate information about finding work as an expatriate in Pattaya, you should join InterNations, a fantastic online community for expats from all over the world. On our platform, you can socialize and network with global minds and fellow expatriates alike who may be able to offer advice about the city and areas such as housing, education, transport and more to help you find your feet and settle into your new home quickly.

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!
