S'installer en Thaïlande que ce soit dans 5 ou 20 ans
by Stabilow
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Original post
bonjour à tous,
je me doute que le sujet doit être rebarbatif mais voilà je me lance:
j'ai 17 ans, actuelement et je suis en terminal ES en France, je ne sais pas quoi faire comme étude (ni même si je compte faire étude courte ou plus longue), j'ai seulement quelques petites idée: multimedia, architecture, communication, immobilier... mais je ne suis pas du tout fermer à d'autres hypothèses.
La thailande m'attire beaucoup et d' après ce que j'ai lu, cela semble très difficile de partir à l'aventure et esperer trouver un travail là-bas, alors comme je n'est pas (encore) raté ma vie je vais rester raisonnable et étudier en France.
Ceci étant dit, j'ai lu sur diverses autres topics que en gros, pour avoir un work permit, il fallait être capable d'exercer un métier qu'un Thailandais ne peut pas. Je voudrais donc savoir dans quels domaines la Thailande n'est pas vraiment compétentes et où il serait plus "simple" de trouver un emploi là-bas en tant qu'étranger, de facon a peut etre influencer mon choix d'étude étant donné que je sais pas encore quoi faire.
De plus j'aimerais savoir si pour trouver un job en thailande il faut sortir d'une grande école francaise ou si avoir un bts ou je ne sais quoi peut suffir (à condition que ce soit un job "qu'un thai n'est pas capable de faire" comme je viens de le dire plus haut).
Biensur je compte partir en vacances là-bas pour voir si ce pays me plait réelement.
Voilà je ne vois rien à ajouter pour le moment, mise à part que comme le dit le nom de mon topic: c'est en quelquesorte un objectif que je me fixe, je compte pas necesserement m'installer dans 2ans, mais essayer d' "axer ma vie" de facon à ce qu soit possible à plus ou moins long terme (je parle pas de retraite en thailande non plus...) sans pour autant me forcer à faire quelquechose qui ne me plait pas alors qu'il est possible que je reste toute ma vie en France.
Bref.....
voilà tout...
merci de bien vouloir me répondre :)

L'idéal est de travailler pour une multinationale qui t'enverrait en mission là bas... J'ai eu cette chance en 2000 (j'ai passé 6 semaines à Bangkok).
La meilleure solution sinon reste l'humanitaire et le bénévolat. Ces dernières années, j'ai travaillé comme bénévole dans les campagnes du nord afin de promouvoir l'agriculture biologique, le compostage et une meilleure utilisation de l'eau.
A la base, je suis informaticien donc tout est possbile.
L'enseignement du français est aussi une bonne option.

Oh tu sais, le sujet ne revient pas plus que les questions sur la meteo ou "comment économiser sur ma chambre pour acheter plus de biere.
"La thailande m'attire beaucoup et d' après ce que j'ai lu, cela semble très difficile de partir à l'aventure et esperer trouver un travail là-bas, " - c'est faisable, mais en effet c'est très difficile tu as l'air de savoir ce que tu veux c a d venir en Thailande alors en effet, trouver un contrat expat qui te permette de venir ici est la meilleure solution. 🙂
"j'ai lu sur diverses autres topics que en gros, pour avoir un work permit, il fallait être capable d'exercer un métier qu'un Thailandais ne peut pas." - il y a en effet une restriction sur certain emploi, mais qui ne correspond absolument pas au savoir (ou non) faire Thai et cette regle est très théorique. 🤪
"Je voudrais donc savoir dans quels domaines la Thailande n'est pas vraiment compétentes et où il serait plus "simple" de trouver un emploi là-bas en tant qu'étranger" - Il n'y en a pas. Comme tout un chacun ils sont plus au moins compétents, selon les individus, mais je ne connais pas un travail réalisable par un "Farang" non réalisable par un Thai. Quant aux compétences globales, les Français sont les meilleures nous le savons tous. 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕
En fait, il te faut une très bonne connaissance de ton milieu professionnel, quel qu'il soit et te dire "qu'est ce que je peux apporter de plus", non pas qu'aient-ils en moins, c'est la loi de la marche, En regle général un Thai est moins cher, mais avec une tendance à etre spécialisé, toi tu es plus cher à toi d'avoir des compétences générales plus élevées, tout en étant très comptant dans ton domaine propre (difficile non ?)
J'ai conscience de t'apporter une réponse de normand, ni oui ni non mais en fait le seul conseil à te donner et de chercher une entreprise qui te propose un statut d'expat, mais cela a déjà été dis plus haut et accepter de rentrer dans un système ultra concurrentiel, ce que nous ne connaissons pas en France.

A 17 ans tu as encore plein de temps devant toi. Un peu trop tôt pour entrer dans une vie professionelle, surtout si tu vises un niveau qui te permettes de te mettre sur le marché professionnel international.
N'oublie pas que surtout dans un job d'expatrié, on demande une certain expérience. Privilégie les études et surtout apprends les langues. Et pourquoi pas te mettre au Thai, avec la globalisation qui court, c'est déjà et ce sera un très très grand avantage pour bosser dans une multinationale.
L'humanitaire est en effet un moyen utile et relativement facile d'accès avec une bonne motivation.
En tous cas tu m'as l'air décidé ce qui est déjà une bonne chose.
Good luck,

bonjour,
Je n'ai qu'une chose à te dire : pour tes études et tes choix professionnels, surtout ne te base pas sur ce qui serait permis à un étranger en Thaïlande ( ou ailleurs) ne serait-ce que pour une seule raison - cela peut changer sans préavis d'un jour à l'autre.
J'ai quand même autre chose à te dire : pour le job, on ne fait bien que ce que l'on aime faire. C'est à toi de voir et pas à un forum d'inconnus.
Et pour finir : il n'y a pas que la Thaïlande, si c'est l'étranger qui te tente, fais un petit tour un peu partout avant de t'engager.
Quand un pays est à une douzaine d'heures d'avion ou même plus ce n'est plus le bout du monde.
Amuse-toi bien ;-)!
Amuse-toi bien ;-)!
Salut Stabilow.
Dabord si tu as l'occasion et les moyens, bouge. Vois du pays. Va dabord en Thaïlande si ce pays t'attire. Tu aimeras c sur. Pour tes études choisi une filiere porteuse. Les langues sont un bon compromis. Avec ça tu pourras toujours bosser dans des tas d'entreprises. La plupart des "farang"(étrangé en Thaï) qui vivent la bas sont marié ou associé à des THaï. Ils vivent principalement du tourisme. Sinon les technologies de pointe sont toujours porteuses l'idéal pour vivre à l'étranger et ça partout dans le monde. Mais t'as du boulot devant toi. Sinon, en effet il y a l'humanitaire, mais la sélection est de plus en plus dur et tu ne choisi pas toujours ou tu veux aller. Donc commence à voyager et observe. Rien ne vaut l'expérience presonnel pour se rendre compte. On est jamais mieux servi que par soit même!

Voyager c'est s'adapter.
je comprend bien c'est envie, , simplement pour le choix de la Thailande il faut faire très attention, , si j'étais toi, , je me taperais une année de chinois .et ferais mon baluchon. pour la chine, , ça sera la locomotive du monde que on veuille ou non, , autant être en tête de ce qui ce passe ??
la Thailande est bon pour ceux qui sont prêt a faire pas mal de sacrifice
sans espérer aucune gratification,
Vivre en Thailande est bien plus dur, que ce que << the land of smille >> montre dans les catalogues, ,
c'est la raison pour laquelle j'ai beaucoup de respect pour tous ceux qui vivent en permanence en thailande, ( sauf les pattayste qui pourrissent ce pays )
il ya bien 30 ans de cela Lucien Bodard, mai dit< fout le camps en chine, , >
je ne lai pas écouter, , en m'arrêtant au pays du sourire, , je le regrette, ,
si j'avais 17 ans, , c'est la chine, , mais a 54, , c'est la Var, ,
Réfléchit, , mais a 17 ans je ne reflechissait pas, , 😏

Hi everyone,
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...

Hi there,
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!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
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!

Hi everyone,
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.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

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.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
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 everyone!
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?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
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! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
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?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

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.

Hi,
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!^^
