Bonjour Itaparika,
il est tres difficile pour un fareng d'avoir un permis de travail en thaillande, cela depend de votre metier .Il y a une liste
de metier interdit au fareng mais je ne saurai vous dire si le votre et celui de votre epoux en fait partie .Je vous la transmet des que je me rapelle ou je l'ai vu ou surement un membre du forum sait ou la trouver.
Mis a part cela, allez en vacance en thailande ou y vivre et totalement different , d'ailleurs, personellement je vais quitter definitivement le pays cette annee . Avant de tous lacher dans votre pays je vous conseillerai de louer un logement dans le pays quelques mois et y vivre afin de vous faire une vrai idee de la vie ici . Ne plaquer pas tout sur un coup de tete, beaucoup d'occidentaux ont fait cette erreur et l'on amerement regrette .Bien sur il y en a aussi qui en ont ete ravis mais ils ne sont helas pas la majoritee.
Amicalement et que votre futur soit radieux .
Amicalement et que votre futur soit radieux .
Bonjour Xbow,
Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse, en effet j'ai appris qu'il y avait des métiers inaccessible pour les fareng, mais je ne pense pas l'immobilier car je connais justement des agents immobiliers français installés en Thailande. Par contre je serai curieuse de savoir pourquoi vous souhaitez quitter le pays, pourriez vous m'éclairer ?

Bonjour Itaparika,
vous dire pourquoi je quitte le pays est chose difficile car chaque personne est differente.Si je vous disais franchement ce que je pense je m'attirerai sans aucun doute les foudres de nombreux membres du forum 😠 .
Je ne vie pas a l'annee dans le pays mais seulement 3x1 mois par annee depuis plus de 7 ans afin d'etre aupres de ma compagne et de notre petit garcon qui aura 5 ans bientot et qui parle deja le thai bien mieux que moi 😎 . Depuis ce temp je loue une maison dans un lotissement , plus exactement c'est le deuxieme lotissement ou je loue une maison .Region ISSAN a Udonthani pour etre precis.
Alors voila, vivre dans un lotissement est difficile car les maisons sont les une sur les autres, moins de 3m d'une maison a l'autre, pour info 4500 bath par mois , bruit et musique a fond parfois des 6h du matin ou jusqu'a tres tard le soir de la part des voisins et surtout chaque famille thai possede un ou plusieurs chiens dont ils s'occupe peu ou pas et qui aboies toutes les nuits et lorsque vous avez 200 chiens dans la meme rue qui se mettent a hurler en meme temp chaque fois que quelqu'un passe il y a de quoi devenir fou mais cela ne derange en rien les thais .Il est impossible de rester a l'interieur sans air conditionner en permanence car la temperature y est toujours de 20 degre superieur a l'exterieur dut au fait de la methode de construction des maisons avec des murs de 5 cm d'epaisseur.En ete le cout de l'electricite est de 2000 bath par mois.J'ai visiter enormement de maison, a louer ou a vendre et ces problemes sont constants ou que ce soit .Panne de courant frequente, panne d'eau frequente, telephone et internet souvent hors service
Bien entendu si vous louez ou achetez un logements dans un condominium haut de gamme vous n'aurez normalement pas ce genre de desagrement.
Deuxiemement, mais la c'est vraiment personnel, je ne supporte pas tres bien la chaleur qui me transforme en loque se trainant lamentablement du matin au soir 🤪
Troisiemement, je n'aime pas la nourriture thai qui soit me rend malade soit me condamne a etre marier avec les toilettes, souvents les deux en meme temps 🏴☠️
Et enfin je ne comprend pas la logique des thais qui est totalement inverse de la notre, leurs manques de cultures, d'educations, d'intelligence et leurs imcompetences dans tous les domaines .Cela n'enleve en rien a leurs gentillesses et accueil des farengs je tiens a le precise.😉
J'ai aussi parcourut le pays du nord au sud et d'est en ouest en voiture et j'ai constate que toute les villes se ressemble, sauf rare exception, toujours la meme architecture des batiments, moches et sale, et leurs facon de conduire n'importe comment a de quoi faire peter les plombs meme au plus zen des conducteurs.
Je trouve dans son ensemble le pays tres moche et sans interet aucun.
Etant perfectionniste en toute chose il est impossible pour moi de m'adapte a ce pays raison pour laquelle je prefere ne plus y venir .
Et enfin tous ce que l'on peut acheter made in thailande, habits, chaussure, outils, meuble..etc est de qualite lamentable et bon pour la poubelle apres un delai tres court et lorsque vous faites reparer quelque chose par des thais , vous recuperer l'objet dans un etat pire que lorsque vous l'avez amene et en plus ils ont encore le culots de vous faire paye la destruction totale de votre bien, cela 2 fois sur trois.
Voila, ce sont mes principales raison mais je le redit chaque personne vie les choses differemment et il y aussi de nombreux farengs tres heureux ici et j'en suis ravie pour eux 😇
Pour vous faire une idee personnel il faut venir y vivre, il n'y a pas d'autres choix .
Amicalement et que votre choix soit le bon 😏

Je rejoins l'avis de l'expat souhaitant quitter la Thaïlande définitivement. J'y suis arrivée en 1989 2X l'an pour les vacances avec mon ex-compagnon. Ensuite y ai résidé à concurence de 2 puis 3 mois d'affilée, et ce, 2 puis 4 fois l'an. Durnat 14 ans.
Contrairement à lui (je suis une femme de parlant français, néerlandais, allemand couramment, accessoirement l'anglais appris en Thaïlande !) Je vivais dans un condo hupé occupé de 1/2 par de étarngers issus des USA, France, Belgique, Canada, Allemagne.
Ai donc un aperçu et expérience q.q.peu différente mais bien similaire. Ex.: les chiens errants ou non , le bruit règnat de façon constante du matin tôt jusque dans la nuit. Le non respect quant au bien-être mutuel et tranquilité comme on le considère en Europe , à savoir ne pas de bruit dérangeant le voisinage après 22 heures. Cela n'existe pas dans leur culture. Nous sommes parvenus à maintenir une certaine tranquilité à force de rappel à l'ordre des nouveaux arrivants qui "pètent les plombs" car se
sentent libérés de toute contrainte .Qu'elles soient professionnelles, morales, familiales. Reprendre pied sur terre , coûte à bien de
de farangs leur fond de pantalon. Donc , s'installer comme agent immobilier relève du défi perdu à l'avance sans vouloir vous décourager car il en existe "en veux tu en voilà" et la plupart depuis de nombreuses années . Associés comme il se doit à des Thaïs à qui il faut savoir payer car tout dans ce pays tourne autour de l'argent. Si votre succes est trop évident cela sussite la jalousie des Thaïs. Ex: un restaurant belge à Phuket réalisant plus de recette que le resto Thï voisin a été brulé par la mafia locale qui est OMNIPRESENTE sans parler de la police à qui il vaut mieux ne pas avoir à faire ou sinon les payer pour en être débarassé !
Leur culture est belle de par leur Art religieux ou non. Mais n'a rien de similaire à la nôtre et encore moins les notions d'éducation ! Excepté ceux issus de familles hyper riches et ayant fait leurs etudes à l'étranger (USA, France ) que j'ai eu l'occasion de cotoyer. Comme il vous a été suggéré : passez-y un an et surtout apprenez les chiffres en Thï avant même de pouvoir le parler . Cela vous permettra d'accéder aux prix de Thäïs bien différents de ceux qu'ils nous appliquent.
Dernière recommandation : derrière un sourrire il ne s'y trouve pas toujours un sourire. Nous sommes "des pourvoyeurs de fonds" Un point à la ligne.

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

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?

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).

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.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia.

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!

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! 🥺🏻

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[;)!!!]
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🤪!

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

Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune

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!^^
