Salut,
Je crois qu, il est tres difficile, ... voir impossible de faire entendre la verite a quelqu, un qui est amoureux ... 😛 Le sujet a deja ete largement debattu..
Ca fini toujours par des "oui mais "...ou "celle la elle est diffrente" ....donc la seule reponse c, est<< bonne chance>> ...
La seule recommandation de base c, est que si elle a deja un gamin avec un thai, laisse tomber vite ...Apres va prier bouddha pour te donner la force de supporter ce qui t, attend..Si tu es jeune ne gaches pas ta vie si vite, pour ca tu as le temps .....😉

Ramener une femme thai en France ou pire au Quebec.....c est comme attacher un chien avec 50 cm de corde au pied d un arbre et l y laisser jour et nuit avec la gamelle a deux metres!
La, je fais fort mais ne doit pas etre tres loin de la verite...
T as Notingtong qui habite en Thailande et d autres et moi aussi...qui te disons : gaffe, attention ou tu mets les pieds et surtout le porte feuille... Enfin c est ta vie, pas la mienne, tu fais ce que tu veux.. T as le moteur de recherche aussi qui t en apprendra pas mal aussi....
J ajouterai aux propos de Thuan que pqrler la langue et savoir l ecrire serait un plus non negligeable; revenir en Thailande sans prevenir serait aussi un truc a faire..... enfin, c est a toi de voir, mais on t aura prevenu

Bon, je viens de voir vos réponses et il y a pas grand monde qui me mette en confiance....
Bref, peut-etre que vous pensez que je ne connais pas les arnaques classiques de certaines filles thais qui ne sont là que pour l'argent et de mec qui se font embobinés par des filles. J'ai connue ce genre de fille et ca m'intéeresse pas. J'suis pas la pour me faire avoir.
J'ai 23 et elle 22. Elle est vraiment amoureuse (tout comme moi) et je suis en contatc avec depuis deux ans maintenant.. Bon ca peut paraitre cliché mais c'est vrai et je n'ai aucun doute face a ses intentions envers moi.
On communique par Msn, telephone et email régulièrement, et, ya quelque mois, j'ai passé 3 mois a Bangkok avec elle en appartement . Et tout était pour le mieux. Elle a toujours vécu a bangkok et elle a finit ses études et tout, elle est donc tres ouverte face culture occidentale. Si elle se viendrait avec moi, ca serait pas pour une question d'argent.....car j'suis encore aux études et faudra vivre qu'avec le minimum pour quelque année en attendant que je finisse mon bac. Donc, dans ma relation avec, l'argent n'est pas un enjeu important. Et j'peux pas aller vivre en thailande pour l'instant.....comment j'pourrait gagner ma vie la-bas...j'ai pas de moyen pour me trouver un boulot convenable. Bref, j'envisage le mariage car ca serait la seule possibilité pour etre ensemble le plus vite possible. Je lui ai dit qu'elle risque d'avoir de se retrouver a montreal en hiver et tout, mais elle me réppond qu'elle en a rien a foutre et qu'elle veut etre avec moi avant tout.
Bref, c'était juste pour mettre au clair la relation que j'ai avec ma copine....car je crois que certains ici pensais que j'étais qu'un autre poisson qui allait se faire avoir dans une relation amoureuse avec une thai....

Pour moi tout c'est bien passe en Thailande, tout le monde etait content, bourre mais content, il n'y a pas eu de blesses et on a remplace les dragees par du som-tam. Et contrairement a d'autres, la mariee ne s'est pas enfuie apres avoir vider mon compte bancaire 😉 A part ca, si tu te maries en Thailande il faudra ammener les justificatifs et tout faire traduire ici (peut etre + complique dans ton cas car tu dois avoir des docs en francais et aussi en anglais) mais aussi normalement justifier de tes revenus financiers aupres des autorites thai si c'est comme pour nous francais. Si tu te maries au Quebec ton amie devra faire pareil avec ses docs mais en plus tu devras lui obtenir un visa. Donc a toi de voir si tu preferes les dragees ou le som-tam 😛

Si tu le peux fait venir ta copine au Quebec pour quelques mois avec un visa touristique (en France il y a des visas touristiques de 90 jours pour visite privées) avant de te marier en Thaïlande, comme ca tu pourras voir si la vie au Quebec lui convient ou non.
Pour ma part j'ai déjà fais venir ma copine Thaï deux fois 90 jours en France pour justement voir sa réaction et son aclimatation. Les incompréhensions liées à la différence de culture sont monnaie courante et il faut surtout passer du temps à expliquer ces différences. De plus il y a un aspect non négligeable à prendre en compte qui est celui de la barrière de la langue: si ta copine ne peut communiquer avec tes amis elle va vite se retrouver isolée. Bien faire attention a ce qu'elle ne commence pas à s'ennuyer (par exemple que va t'elle faire pendant que tu seras en cours) car là il risques d'y avoir des problèmes. N'oublies pas qu'en Thaïlande les liens familiaux sont très forts et qu'il faudra envisager après le mariage plusieurs allé-retour par années entre le Quebec et la Thaïlande pour que justement elle ne rompte pas ses liens familiaux.
Toi aussi envisage de passer plusieurs mois en Thaïlande au contact des Thaïs (par exemple auprès de sa famille) afin d'essayer de comprendre la culture et la facon de vivre Thaï (j'ai bien dit au contact de sa famille ou de ses amis, car même si tu as passé quelques mois en appartement à Bangkok avec elle cela ne veux pas forcément dire que tu connais la mentalitée Thaï).
Il faut aussi envisager l'avenir: tu dis que ta copine vient de finir ses études en Thaïlande mais si vous vous marriés et que vous vivez à Montréal il faut voir si ses diplômes sont reconnus au Quebec afin qu'elle ne soit pas obliger de tout recommencer une fois installée.
A ne pas négliger aussi le climat du Quebec qui risque fort de la destabiliser, il ne faut pas oublier que les Thaïs ne savent pas ce qu'est le froid (pour eux à 15°C il fait très froid😉).
Je pense qu'après tout ça tu auras une autre vision de votre avenir ensemble (aussi bien en positif qu'en négatif). Bien que cela ne soit pas une généralitée, j'ai bien peur qu'un mariage sans avoir partagé un bout de vie ensemble dans vos deux pays respectifs n'engendre quelques problèmes.

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

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’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! 🥺🏻

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! !
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.

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?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

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! :)
