Je suis actuellement en fin de Première Littéraire et après mon Bac (l'année prochaine) je voulais faire un BTS Toursime mais j'ai de plus en plus envie de partir à l'étranger après le Bac et plus particulièrement en Thailande, car je suis littéralement tombée amoureuse de ce pays lors d'un voyage... J'en ai longuement parlé avec mon père et il est d'accord pour que je parte après le Bac. Mais je me pose plusieurs questions ... Premièrement, puis-je faire " un an de pause " après le Bac et partir en Thailande pour travailler ou bien faire de l'humanitaire, puis rentrer en France pour enchaîner avec un BTS Tourisme ou puis-je continuer mes études en Thailande par exemple pour faire une LEA (Langue étrangère appliquée ) et pourquoi pas faire mon BTS Tourisme en France a mon retour ? Dans tout les cas il est préférable, je pense d'avoir ce BTS pour trouver un travail non ?
Mais j'aimerai avoir des informations sur ce qui est le mieux, ou discuter avec quelqu'un qui est partit à l'étranger après son Bac car je me pose beaucoup de questions sans trouver de réponse et je préfère avoir des choix déjà définis.
Tu as la possibilité de rester un an en Thaïlande avec le visa étudiant, Visa ED non-immigrant, je pars en septembre à Bangkok, il y a des écoles dans différentes villes.
Je viens tout juste de faire un article expliquant toutes les étapes pas à pas, le prix aussi. Il te faudra un budget pour vivre là-bas.
Personnellement, je vais apprendre la langue thaïlandaise, 200 heure à l'année, soit 4 heures de cours par semaines.
Si tu as besoin d'autres informations, hésites pas, je pense notamment à l'hébergement qui peut être du simple au double facile, le top faire une recherche sur google en thaïlandais, affiner sur le site (en thailandais)
Un exemple : J'ai trouvé un 32 mètres carré ( chambre, cuisine et salon), pour 6000 bath par mois =130 € mensuel, faut rajouter tes conso d'eau et d'électricité (20€ )
Jette un œil, clic ici
Alors, plutôt sympa non ? ( bien sur c'est un contrat d'au moins un an)
Je viens de checker le lien, ça marche pas, je crois que le site voyage forum ne prend pas l'écriture thaïlandaise, si tu veux, tu pourras like la page facebok du site, je te donnerais le lien
Je te laisse lire mon article qui détaille comment obtenir le Visa ED, clic ici
Et si tu as besoin d'autre info, n'hésites pas, à plus 🙂
Merci d'avoir répondu, je ne savais pas qu'il existait un visa étudiant et je n'avais jamais pensée aussi à la possibilité d'apprendre le Thailandais ! Vous partez pour vos études de quoi ?
Personnellement, je vais apprendre la langue thaïlandaise, 200 heure à l'année, soit 4 heures de cours par semaines.
Ta question était peut etre dans quel but je vais en thailande pendant un an ?
J'ai choisi ce type de visa car il me permettra de rester un an en thailande sans avoir à sortir du territoire.
En plus j'aurai 4 heures de cours de thai, possibilité d'assister au cours en une journée, le reste du temps je compte développer mon site internet, j'ai aussi des projets de réalisation de vidéos
Ah d'accord !
Vous pensez que c'est avantageux de faire des études en Thailande puis retourner en France faire mon BTS Tourisme ou bien c'est inutile ?
Je viens de voir sur ton profil que tu n'as que 16 ans... vraiment ??
Possible à ton age de partir seul pendant un an ?
Tu as un projet ou une envie, qui n'est pas conventionnel, ça va être difficile de te répondre et de trouver les mots justes.
c'est avantageux de faire des études en Thaïlande puis retourner en France faire mon BTS Tourisme
Dans le titre de ton post tu avais écrit "humanitaire ou études?"
Si je comprend bien, tu souhaites plus vivre une parenthèse qui pourra t'apporter une expérience afin de poursuivre tes études en France.
La première question est de savoir si c'est possible.
- Ton age le permet ?
- Tu as l'argent pour ? ( tes parents accepteraient de financer ?)
Par exemple, si tu optes pour le visa étudiant plus les cours ( 1000euro à l'année) pour le logement (2500e /an) nourriture en mangeant thai et occidentale (3000) avion (700) assurance maladie si..(600)
De l'argent de poche pour vivre aussi, sortie, transport, on arriverait à 10.000 € tout compris
Si la réponse est oui...
Tu pourras apprendre le thaïlandais, perfectionner ton anglais, t'ouvrir à la culture thaïlandais...
Pendant un an, tu vas peut être te faire chier ou pas. 4h de thai semaine et après ???
Pourquoi pas partir en Australie, en Angleterre, au USA, comme fille au pair ??
Là ça serait un plus pour ton orientation professionnelle plus tard...
Oui je vais avoir 17 ans cette année, et le problème c'est que j'aime quand mes futurs projets ne sont pas définis c'est pour ça que j'y pense déjà et que je me pose 1000 questions. J'en ai parlé à mes parents et oui ils sont d'accord puisque dans un peu plus d'un an ( c'est à dire après mon Bac ) je vais avoir 18 ans ...
4h de Thai par semaine ET faire mes études là bas c'est a dire entrer dans une université mais je trouve pas de site qui en parle clairement ... L'Australie, les USA fin les pays comme ça ne m'attirent pas du tout, je préfère la nature, et la simplicité des Thailandais.
Si j'ai aussi pensée à l'humanitaire c'est que je me vois mal enchaîner 5 ans d'études (c'est a dire Lycée + BTS ) en France ( pays qui me déplais de plus en plus ) et donc je voulais faire une sorte de break à l'étranger. Mais pourquoi pas si je peux faire quelques études là-bas ce qui serait avantageux aussi !

My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency?
- When did you start preparing for the USMLE?
- What advice would you give to someone still in medical school?
- Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids?
- Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency?
- What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!
Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D
I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...).
Thanks again!
Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies.
PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant.
In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there?
Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on!
Thanks for your feedback!!
Hi there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga.
To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that...
I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background:
• I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*.
• I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor.
• Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience:
• I work as an *Employment Counselor*.
• I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0.
• I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles?
We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!!
Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin.
I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well:
I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers?
First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand?
Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]
Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
