Original post
Bonjour,
je suis étudiante en tourisme en france et jai 20ans. je souhaiterai effectuer mon expatriation universitaire proposée par mon école de tourisme en thailande à bangkok. Cependant, j'ai une amie d'origine singapourienne qui vit depuis peu en france qui me déconseille fortement cette destination ...Elle pense que ce n'est pas trop sure pour une fille toute seule (je ferais l'expatriation avec 2 ou 3 autres personnes mais pour le logement et tout le reste je pense que l'on va se dévrouiller seuls) et que je ne pourrais pas sortir de chez moi seulement pour aller en cours.
J'aimerai connaitre l'avis de thailandais ou de personnes qui vivent expatriées en thailande ou encore d'étudiants qui y sont allés pour leurs études.
Merci pour les informations que vous pourrez m'apporter.
Bangkok, ville dangereuse pour une fille seule ? Pas plus que Paris, Londres ou Berlin. Je n'ai pas la prétention de connaître tous les quartiers de Bangkok, loin de là, mais ce n'est vraiment pas une ville qui craint. On voit beaucoup de filles de 20 ans voyager seules, elles ne sont pas plus menacées qu'ailleurs...
franchement , c'est vraiment exagéré de dire que ça craint pour une fille tte seule.
il faut être prudent comme partout, c'est tout !!
je me méfierai un peu du point de vue singapourien .... Cité hyper hygiéniste, t'as un PV si tu jettes un chewing - gum ... 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 c'est assez particulier là-bas, ça en fait pas un modèle d'objectivité
comme la Thailande est très touristique, cela peut être très formateur pour toi
et tu t'amuseras bien aussi !! 😛😛😛

C'est vrai, et même, si on insiste, on peut se faire fouetter ... Mmmm, çà va en attirer certains, çà (et les menottes ... j'vous dis pas !)

salut ho que la critique est facile bkk est une des rares megapoles au monde ou on vois des femmes seules a 2 h du matin .. et il faut vraiment chercher les ennuis ( home ou femme ) pour se mettre en difficulté ..
puis si cela peut te rassurer on est pas mal de monde a vivre a l'année ici ( aux 4 coins de bkk ) et si tu as besoin d'aide je suis certains que les membres seront la .. déjà tu peut dire dans quelle coin de bkk tu seras? comme cela un membre peut te donner un avis pour un logement dans le coin ......

pour une fille toute seule
a Bangkok les etudiantes thais ont habitude de sortir en petit groupe , petite regle de securite.. culture thai .. les jeunes sortent en petit goupe.. rarement seul....
pour fille farang 20 ans NO PROBLEM toute seule .... tu ne porte pas d uniforme universitaire comme les thais

IMPOSSIBLE ! 😎
Tu ne peux pas avoir de PV pour avoir jeté un chewing gum par terre ! Tu as déjà eu un PV quand tu mâchais le chewing gum, mais là encore IMPOSSIBLE, car avant, tu en as eu un quand les douaniers ont trouvé un chewing gum dans ton sac au passage de la frontière....😉

Merci de tous vos conseils ! pour répondre aux questions de quand j'arrive, pour le moment tou n'est pas déterminé car ce n'est pas encore sur que j'ai cette destination. Je serais dans l'université Shrinakharinwirot à Bangkok donc j'espère trouver un logement pres de cette université. Quelqun connais cette université ? je ne suis pas encore dans la recherche de logement puisque j'attends la confirmation. je ne comprends pas trés bien le message de "thaidoc" concernant le privé ? est ce que les étudiants thailandais parlent un peu anglais ou pas ? car je ne connais pas le thai, je l'apprendrai à l'université mais pour tous les jours il faudra que je me débrouille ... Pour mon amie singapourienne j'ai pris son avis en compte puisqu'elle connait deja beaucoup plus l'asie que moi et par rapport aussi à la culture que je ne connais pas encore.
Si vous avez encore des conseils n'hésitez pas à me les donner ! L'expatriation c'est pour septembre 2010 donc j'ai encore le temps cependant nos choix on était envoyé mais les réponses vont être assez longue.
Bonne continuation.
si mes souvenirs sont bons c'est pas loin de l'aéroport .. 🙁 un peut excentrée .. dans ce coin il n'y a aucun probleme de trouver un petit condo .. ces chambres a la gueule de cage a lapin .. 1 pièce 1 mini balcon et une mini salle de bain mais pour moins de 100 euros .. ( vérifie si il ya le whi fi .. pour reste en contact avec vf .. )
les étudiants thai dans l;ensemble parle peut l'anglais .. 😉

Si ton amie est Singapourienne, ne cherche pas plus loin l'explication : les Singapouriens ont le crâne bourré par leur gouvernement qui leur ressasse "low crime doesn't mean no crime", le monde extérieur est dangereux, attention quand vous prenez l'ascenseur, etc. Quand j'avais raconté à une Singapourienne que j'avais pris le bus de Singap à Melacca en Malaisie, elle m'avait demandé - avec une tête effrayée - "mais ce n'est pas trop dangereux ? Tu n'as pas eu peur ?". Je me suis retenu pour ne pas exploser de rire...
Bref : Bangkok est bien plus sûre que n'importe quelle capitale européenne, aucun souci à te faire. Je n'ai jamais eu l'esprit aussi tranquille que depuis mon arrivée à bkk.
Si tu veux, un Singapourien qui va en Thaïlande c'est un peu comme une quand une fille passe du XVIeme qu Veme arrondissement de Paris... c'est la zone, ça craint ;-)
Désolé si j'ai froissé un Singapourien au passage, mais bon sans généraliser à tout le monde c'est quand même assez vrai ! :)

Bonsoir,
Aucun problème de sécurité ou d'intégration pour une étudiante étrangère... évidemment si on tente le diable, c'est comme partout...
Les facs de Thailande accueillent des centaines d'étudiants de toutes les origines et langues, et évidemment l'anglais est un facteur de communication international, avant de parler thaï (et qu'on te comprenne!)
Cette fac est très bien desservie par les transports en commun, et comme pour chaque étudiant qui s'expatrie dans ce pays comme ailleurs, le meilleur conseil est de contacter les assocs étudiantes du campus qui te faciliteront ton installation.
PS:en Thaïlande, il existe un grand respect pour tout ce qui concerne l'enseignement, c'est toujours une valeur très reconnue par la grande majorité d'une population qui d'ailleurs n'a pas la chance (et les moyens!) de faire des études.

est ce que les étudiants thailandais parlent un peu anglais ou pas ?
Chat-lut,
Très souvent, ils peuvent parler anglais, même assez bien, mais n'osent pas ...

Savoir parler anglais est nécessaire pour pouvoir parler ...
Mais on peut savoir et s'abstenir (se taire).
Ce que j'ai observé très souvent, c'est une sorte de terreur de ne pas parler correctement, qui fait que les étudiants se taisent et donc ils ne progressent jamais ... (c'est en parlant -conversation- qu'on apprend à parler)
Effectivement, en ôtant les complexes au départ ("je suis français"), çà permet de briser le silence !

Ok, la je suis vraiment plus rassurée, j'en ai reparlé à mon amie et je me suis effectivement rendue compte qu'elle n'etaipeut être pas si objective. Je parle un peu anglais je sais tenir une conversation basique et je comprends bien donc si j'ai le même niveau que les étudiants thailandais tout vas bien ! Je contacterais quand je saurais que je vais la bas les étudiants pour avoir toutes les informations. Si certains connaissent cette école, as elle bonne réputation ?
Pour répondre à "thuan" concernant les chambres "cages à lapin" ça m'a un peu laissé perplexe ! je sais que cela existe mais il doit bien y avoir d'autres logements ? savez vous si c'est dans les coutumes ou du moins si c'est assez courant pour les thailandais d'être en colocation ?
si c'est assez courant pour les thailandais d'être en colocation ?
les etudiantes sont toujours deux dans chambres.. les garcons eux cas par cas... tout seul..maintenant une thailandaise ne te connaissant pas de va pas forcement partager la chambre si elle ne te connais pas....
cage a lapin khun thuan a une drole de facon a s exprimer ..... cage a lapin thuan = chambre deux personnes 28 a 32m2 en thailande pas de coin cuisine..

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.

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

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’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! :)
