bonjour !
je vais partir en thailand pour un an minimum, je voudrai avoir des renseignement sur la possibilité de trouver du travail dans l hotellerie,
quelqun aurait eu une experience dans l hotellerie en thailand me serai d une grande aide pour me renseigner
ps : j ai une grosse experience de l hotellerie, je peut travailler dans un petit bar comme dans un hotel de luxe, tout les conseil seront les bienvenu merci
et tu as raison, pour les 2 fonctions citees, on passe pas par la case VF 😛
autre chose, ne pas oublier que le personnel, Thai est très bon, et que les GM's n'ont vraiment aucun intérêt a prendre un farang, ( plus cher +plus pénible + arrogants ) m'a rapporter le GM du royal méridien phuket😉😉

non je ne suis pas GM mais j ai le niveau de manager restaurant ou bar, je connais le groupe accord mais je me disait quand demarchant sur place se serait plus facile, je croyait que les grand hotel embauche plus d etranger que 0, 01 %
non
et en plus les embauches doivent etre approuves par les proprietaires et pas seulement le GM
entre eux qui veulent pas payer cher, la main d'oeuvre pas cher en local et le GM qui touche un bonus sur objectif GOP, les hotels embauchent de moins en moins d'expat
tous les GM que je connais ont ete recrutes a paris ou debauches d'autres chaines
moi meme a paris puis via les reseaux de GM sur place
si tu n'es pas GM, FB ou DOSM/RM, les chances sont quasi nulles
et encore, tous les hotels n'ont pas le budget pour prendre un FB francais ou etrangers...
tu n'as tjrs pas dit quel poste tu cherchais ou occupais

je dirais, 0, 00001%🤪🤪
Pour ne pas tomber dans le pessimisme, , ce que il manque en Thailande, est une petite école de langue, destinée a l'hôtellerie, anglais, français, espagnol, , chinois, jap, etc, après discutions avec des GM sa peut les intéressé bougrement, a phuket entre autre, , , , , , , , 😉

pour le moment je suis responsable d une brasserie a paris
j ai vu pas mal d annonce sur internet pour des place de restaurant manager et je pensai avoir plus de chance en postulant sur place, de toute maniere je part quand meme .
tu a l air de connaitre le milieu, tu n aurais pas des adresse ou autre a me conseiller .
l ecole est une bonne idee mais surement tres cher
salut à tous !
comme tu l'as dit Thuan, j'ai l'impression que la thailande a un gros systeme protectionniste et je crois que le seul moyen assez sur d'y travailler est effectivement de passer par les groupes internationaux comme Accor.
c'est un heureux hasard que je sois tombé sur ce forum car j'étais justement allé sur le site Accor hier pour rechercher un poste dans l'hotellerie en thailande ou asie pacifique.
Du coup, je crois que j'ai bien fait d'attendre avant d'envoyer ma demande...
car je n'en sais pas beaucoup sur ce genre de démarches et si tu pouvais m'éclairer un peu (comme tu as l'air de t'y connaitre un peu), tu me serais d'une grande aide pour ne pas dire d'une aide énorme.
J'aurais donc quelques question à te poser avant de déposer une demande (ceux qui tomberont sur cette discussion et qui pourrons me conseiller sont évidemment les bienvenus 😉 ) et si tu as le temps de me répondre, ce serai génial !! 🙂
Voilà mes questions : Est-ce qu'on a beaucoup de chances d'etre accepté par un groupe comme Accor pour faire réceptionniste d'hôtel en asie pacifique (même si j'ai jamais travaillé pour ce groupe) ? poste que je fais depuis 2 ans apres avoir obtenu un diplome d'accueil réception. Comme j'ai fais aussi dans la restauration je connais d'autres postes comme le service en salle ou le bar, quels postes sont les plus faciles à obtenir dans un pays comme la thailande ? Est-ce que les salaires sont différents d'un poste à un autre ? Qu'est ce que cela vaut par rapport au niveau de vie local ? Comme ma recherche s'étend sur l'asie pacifique en général, est-ce qu'il est plutot conseillé de cibler ma demande (auprès d'un groupe comme Accor) sur un pays seulement, ou sur plusieurs ? Est-ce que faire ma demande maintenant est inutile si je ne suis pas disponible tout de suite ? car je voudrais en fait partir entre la rentrée prochaine et noel et etre sur d'avoir un job la bas avant de donner mon préavis à mon employeur et de preparer mon voyage. Est-ce qu'il y a d'autres groupes hotellier bien implantés en asie du sud-est aupres desquels je pourrais faire ma demande ?
Voilà, je vais m'arrêter là, c'est déja assez long comme ça 😛 En tout cas, un grand merci déjà à ceux qui voudront bien prendre de leur temps pour m'aider et désolé pour les autres d'avoir été aussi long.
Salutations à tous.

En ce qui concerne la Thailande :
Vous n'aurez pas de permis de travail (et donc de visa) pour être réceptionniste, serveur de restaurant ou barman. Ce sont des professions protégèes. Le plus simple est franchement de rechercher depuis la France auprès des grands groupes hoteliers (ils sont tous présents, Acco, Marriott, Holiday inn etc...) mais ne recrutent que des chefs de cuisine ou des gM ou des F and B managers...

merci pour cette première réponse !
Après avoir suivi plusieurs discussion sur ce forum, j'ai bien réalisé qu'il etait interdit en thailande d'employer des étrangers dans certains domaines et si vous me dites que c'est le cas pour les postes que j'ai cité (receptionniste, service en salle, bar), je vous crois. Mais est-ce que c'est forcément aussi le cas quand on passe par les grands groupes hoteliers (par rapport aux quotas d'expats' autorisés) ? Est-ce que ces postes sont vraiment condamnés ? Je sais faire beaucoup de choses en hotellerie-restauration mais n'ai malheureusement jamais touché à la cuisine ni au management. J'ai simplement réussi à acquérir de bonnes notions commerciales grace à mon travail où j'ai eu l'occasion de suivre de près le travail effectué par le service commercial sur des organisations de séminaires et de banquets. Je connais bien ce domaine mais ne peut pas le valider en tant que poste exercé sur mon CV. Est-ce que cela peut suffire ? Est-ce que la connaissance du Français + Anglais + Espagnol est un bon atout ? Est-ce qu'il y a une langue étrangère particulièrement demandée la-bas ?
Tous vos conseils seront les bienvenus, je souffre à rester dans ce pays et plus particulièrement dans la banlieu parisienne, région où il fait gris tous le temps et où la mentalité des gens doit être l'une des pires au monde !!! J'ai sûrement pas eu beaucoup de chance dans ma vie et dans mes rencontres et je ne perd vraiment rien à partir. Je gagnerai au contraire de la motivation supplémentaire et un espoir enfin d'avoir une vie meilleure... (j'aurai bien mis un petit smiley avec une larme pour finir ce post mais je n'en ai pas trouvé 😛)

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[;)!!!]

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!^^
