Living in Thailand might be something you are considering at this time. There are many questions
and areas to consider before you pack up and leave your home country for Thailand. This article
will review some of the major considerations you will need to put thought toward if you are serious
about living in Thailand for a long or short time.
Income?
Unless you are going to live in Thailand off your savings, you are going to have to figure out a way
to make money to pay your bills. Yes, you have bills in Thailand but, they are quite affordable.
Rent for a house might cost you two hundred dollars in a town away from Bangkok. In Bangkok an
apartment might be four hundred dollars. Food outside Bangkok will be about three hundred
dollars. In Bangkok, the sky is the limit.
Most choosing to live in Thailand are teachers. In Bangkok, with a bachelors degree and a TEFL
(Teacher of English as a Foreign Language) certificate one could make $1,500 per month on
average. Some teachers make quite a bit more than that. Outside Bangkok the average starting
teacher salary is about $1,000 per month.
Finding a teaching job in Thailand is quite easy if you have a bachelors degree from your home
country and English is your native language.
If you do not wish to teach English then the other primary option is to work in Bangkok with one of
the many companies there which need English speakers. There may be companies from your
home country with an office in Bangkok that need employees. Use online research to find these
positions.
Choosing a Place to Live in Thailand
Thailand is quite a large and diverse country in terms of climate and terrain. There are mountain
areas, virtual desert areas, and lush tropical jungle. Where you live in Thailand will be a major
consideration. The right place for you to live is here - the issue is just choosing where to live.
The warm months in Thailand are February through June. The rainy season runs May through
December. From November to January it is usually cool.
Northern Thailand is characterized by mountains, heavy rains, and very cool temperatures in the
winter months. It never snows in Northern Thailand, and it gets quite hot in the summer.
Central Thailand is mostly flat and includes Bangkok and surrounding provinces. The central

2. region is very hot when it is not raining, and when it is raining - floods often. Bangkok is known as
the hottest city in the world due the night time temperatures remaining very warm. You will need
air conditioning in Bangkok.
Northeastern Thailand is flat and very dry, even during the rainy season and the summer months
are blistering hot. During winter it does get very cool and if you are riding a motorbike you will
need a winter jacket to remain warm enough.
Southern Thailand is lush jungle and, though it's quite warm even during winter months, the nights
are cool enough that no air conditioning is needed. The land is mostly flat in the southern
provinces with rolling hills and stunning limestone mountain topography.
If you need to be near the ocean, the southern provinces are where you will need to be. If you like
the mountains, the north is for you.
If you are concerned about the friendliness of people in Thailand, you need not be. Thai people
are friendly across the country, but most visitors say the northern and northeastern Thais are the
friendliest.
Safety?
There are a number of safety considerations you should be aware of. Thailand is a country far
different from wherever you hail.
Thailand has 45 species of poisonous snakes, 9 types of scorpion, and many other stinging
animals like jellyfish, spiders, and insects. One of the smallest biting pests is the most
troublesome... mosquitoes.
Malaria, Dengue Fever, Chikungunra, and encephalitis are all found in Thailand and transmitted
by infected mosquitoes. Mosquito repellant is a must - and anything with DEET 28+ usually works
well.
Driving in Thailand is a real horror-show, and you would be wise to ease into it. First, you will be
driving on the left side of the road, which might be a change for you. Secondly, the driving habits in
Thailand are quite different from anywhere you have probably been. To say driving in Thailand is
dangerous is vast understatement.
If you are a person that intends on enjoying the nightlife in Thailand there are numerous
considerations to take into account. Use and possession of illicit drugs are penalized very strictly
in Thailand and for anything with heroin or methamphetamine you might be looking at more than
ten years in a Thai prison.
Fights often erupt in bar situations and you really should know what to do in these instances.
There are many safety issues that confront the visitor or person wishing to live in Thailand long-
term. Below I have linked to an entire survival guide dedicated to the topic of safety in Thailand. It
just might save your life.

3. One of my passions while living in Thailand has been developing the "Thai Black Book" for visitors
and persons looking to live in Thailand either briefly or long-term. This book covers many safety
issues that you need to be aware of, but that are not covered in any other Thailand guidebook.
Have a look at ThailandeBooks.com and choose "All Books" at the top, or click, Thai Black Book,
to see what this 128 page guide can help you understand about the mysterious land you are
thinking about moving to.
