Bonjour à tous, j'ai vu qu'il y a beaucoup de connaisseurs au sujet de Bangkok.
J'ai postulé dernièrement pour du boulot sur Bangkok, on me propose un job intéressant.
Je me pose quelques questions, que du coup je vous soumet également.
J'ai pu lire plusieurs autres sujets, certains se contredisant ect..., donc je me permet d'en faire un juste pour moi :)
Donc pour commencer, cette société me propose un salaire de 70 000 baht par mois, moins les taxes, ce qui fais un salaire a 62 000 et des bananes net. ( moins mon prêt étudiant francais ~270€ )
Ca se trouve dans le quartier Bang Kapi
Plusieurs questions :
En ce qui concerne les logements, j'ai entendu dire qu'il ne fallait pas trop se fier aux prix que l'on peut trouver sur internet sur des sites de logements. J'ai pas besoin de grand chose, si ce n'est la chambre séparé du salon, et l'idéal serait un appart' déja meublé. Point important également pour moi, une ligne ADSL de bonne qualité, pour mon boulot j'ai besoin de pouvoir envoyer et récuperer des fichiers assez volumineux, comment procéder, et a quel tarif ? et aussi, un garage, ou un truc clos pour un deux roues.
Pour la bouffe et les fringues, tout le monde s'accorde a dire que c'est très light dans le budget, donc passons.
Pour les transports, je suis motard, donc j'étudie plusieurs solutions, a savoir, expédier une de mes motos depuis la france par containers, soit en acheter une la bas ( transalp, africa twin, pas une moto chinoise, si je peux eviter ), je sais pas trop a combien on peut trouver des bonnes motos par la bas.
Voila, je pense avoir fais le tours, je suis preneurs de tous types de conseils.
😇 Bon... thai styl apartment meublé + TV + FRIGO et air condition faut compter Thai Baht 7500 l électricité en plus ...disont que tu laisses ta air con 6 heures par jour au mois aprox 3000 thai baht ....( l électricité est cher a Bangkok dans les aparts il majore de plus de 100% le tarif normal)).....
La bouf par jour thai baht 300 avec boisson...= 9000 par mois.......IL te reste de ton salaire euros 25 par jour( soit 1000 thai baht) pour tout le reste.......😇 tu n as qu a rajouter tout ce qui te passe par la tete de ce qu il te faut
Je te conseilles de faire très attention en ce qui concerne l'importation de véhicule en Thaïlande.
Il y a des taxes très élevées donc renseigne-toi bien avant d'envoyer ta moto. Sinon, sur place tu peux trouver un grand choix de motos. Cela étant, faire de la moto a Bangkok ce n'est pas très sain, il faut un masque filtrant car l'air est assez pollué.Le mieux est de trouver un logement près de ton travail et y a beaucoup d'offres sur Bang Kapi, ce n'est pas un problème. Ton salaire est très suffisant pour tes dépenses courantes.
+ 1 surtout pour la motos .. étant motard .. j'ai eut un tas de grosse motos .. mais au final le mieux est de faire comme tout les thaïs .. un scooter automatique .. sa passe partout , sa se répare partout , sa se revend partout ., . et sa consomme pas grand chose .. c'est la meilleur solution .. il me semble que papa est aussi membre de ce magnifique forum .. car les questions sont très similaires ........ 😉

Cela va te faire 50 000 Thb / mois environ, moins le soucie de visa, avec 70 000 Thb par mois tu auras a priori ton W.P. sans problème.
Tu ne va pas faire des folies mais oui c'est faisable, ... Ne compte pas économiser avec ça, ... c'est quasiment impossible, tu vas économiser certains mois et d'autre tout utiliser.
Attention compte prendre une assurance hospitalisation, en cas de pépin, surtout motard, un rhum se soigne dans les "dispensaire" pour pas grand-chose, en revanche un séjour prolongé à l'hôpital te laisse sur la paille.
Mais bon c'est franchement une bonne somme pour un début, un trop gros salaire en Thaïlande te donne de mauvaise habitude, comme cela tu auras l'occasion d'en prendre de bonnes et ensuite quand tu seras plus riche, tu les garderas, enfin je te le souhaite. 😉

bonjour voila j ai 59 ans et je voudrais m instaler en thailande pour 1 ans en attendant ma retraite j ai que 720e pour vivre esque cela est assez en sachant de louer un studio dans une ville pas touristique pas loin de la mer peut tu me donner quelques renseignement
merci
jeanine
Pour les dépenses courantes 720 Euros, tu peux y arriver, mais il y a aussi l'assurance santé qu'il faut prévoir. Il faut juste éviter les endroits chers comme Phuket
Par contre le problème c'est le visas pour un an car pour l'obtenir il faut justifier soit de 1600 Euros de retraite par mois
ou bien faire un dépôt de 20.000 Euros environ dans une banque en Thaïlande.
Cela dépend bien entendu de l'endroit, du standing du logement, de la présence d'équipements tels que piscine ou salle de sport, de la durée du contrat de location etc.. A mon avis il faut compter autour de 250/300 Euros par mois pour le logement.
bonjour de 2500 bt ( bas de gamme🤪 ) a 20 000 bt , , le studio , , bkk est énorme tout dépend du quartier ou tu veut resider , , si tu est économiquement faible il est préférable un coin thaïe , , c'est généralement moins cher , ,

🤪jeanine... j ai lu ton profile.. et tes questions depuis ton inscription .. oublie la Thailande ..sinon tu vas terminer comme une dame que jai connu a vendre des poupées et des bateaux au cafe de l alliance française.......
😇 il y a des explications qui sont réservées.. par exemple comme des droits d auteurs..disons c est mon sixème sens qui ma fait répondre a ton post.....cela n a fait que de me souvenir d une dame française.. qui pour survivre avec plus de 500 euros par mois a vendre des poupées quelle a faites elle meme et vendre a l alliance francaise pour survivre....
Jeanine peut tout a fait s'en sortir avec un budget de 720 Euros par mois en Thaïlande.
Bien sur il faudra qu'elle fasse attention, mais c'est faisable. Son vrai souci c'est le visas.
Ne vous inquiétez pas Jeanine, vous trouverez toujours a vous loger pour un prix en rapport avec votre budget. Il vous faut juste choisir une région qui puisse vous convenir. Il faudra aussi planifier par rapport a votre visas pour pouvoir éventuellement changer de pays. La Malaisie accorde un visas de 3 mois pour les ressortissants français.
Je regarderais la régions en dessous de Krabi ce qui permet de se rendre ensuite en Malaisie a peu de frais.
merci pour ta reponse je compte le faire l annèe prochaine car je suis en instance de divorce je compte m installer dans une ville tranquile non touristique mais avec la mer a cotè
bien a vous
jeanine
Je me permet de ré-upper ce topic,
Donc le départ est prévu pour la semaine prochaine, je suis en train de me renseigner pour une mutuelle. ( ou assurance 😉 )
Le problème avec les mutuelles, c'est que quand on fais des devis, on a toujours l'impression de se faire avoir 😊
Quelqu'un a déja souscrit à une mutuelle en tant qu'expat' ? A savoir que je ne cotise absolument rien en france car je travaillais en Suisse avant cela, du coup, l'offre semble changer un peu.
Si quelqu'un a des conseils, je suis preneur ( une fois de plus )
... A savoir que je ne cotise absolument rien en france car je travaillais en Suisse avant cela, du coup, l'offre semble changer un peu.

...
Ce n'est pas d'une mutuelle dont tu as besoin alors, mais d'une assurance.... Mon conseil, c'est de prendre une assurance hospitalisation, pour les petits bobos il y a des "dispensaires" peux dispendieux un peu partout, en revanche pour un gros pépin la facture peut monter très vite.
Je ne vais pas te faire de la pub pour telle ou telle assurance, si besoin je te donnerais des contactes en M.P.
bienvenu ! 😉
P.s. Désolé je viens de relire le poste et ... je radote.

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!^^
