Bonjour à tous,
J'aimerais échanger avec des Français ou francophones ayant une expérience de scolarité des enfants (collège et lycée) en Thaïlande.
Merci !

Bonjour, je vis en thailande depuis le mois d'août de cette année, nous vivons sur l'ile de phuket. J'ai deux enfants, l'ainé est âgé de 12 ans et le dernier est âgé de 7 ans, ils sont tous les deux scolarisés à "British college" une des deux écoles internationales de phuket. Malheureusement ou pas d'ailleurs ! il n'y a pas d'école française ici, donc nos enfants sont scolarisés dans une école anglaise et suivent leurs cours en anglais .
Pour le grand deux, trois semaines d'adpatation ont été nécessaires, pour le petit c'est un peu plus compliqué !
Voilà si tu veux nous pourrons en rediscuter.
1 seule adresse pour le moment l'École française de bangkok, , attention elle a déménager elle n'est plus sur sathron, ,
pour ceux qui ne sont pas des nantis, , faire la demande de bourse, , il y en a, , ne pas hésiter a faire la demande, ,

Bonjour Wanael,
Voilà qui est étonnant ! Comment 2 jeunes enfants qui n'ont -s'ils ont suivi le cursus traditionnel- que quelques notions d'anglais, peuvent-ils suivre des cours dans cette langue ???
Vraiment, je suis curieux, et sincèrement intéressé, d'en savoir plus !

Les enfants ont beaucoup de ressources et tellement de facilités d'apprentissage !
Oui c'est étonnant ! Gwen qui est mon fils aîné et qui est depuis peu âgé de douze ans avait quelques notions d'anglais, je dis bien "quelques" notions, puisqu'il venait de terminer sa classe de 6ème. Pendant un mois en juillet avant notre départ nous lui avons donné des cours privés à la maison pour le familiariser un peu plus avec l'anglais "parler", la discussion en anglais....Ce n'était pas gagné, il n'apprenait pas son vocabulaire, manquait totalement de motivation et parlait avec un accent excécrable ! C'était peu encourageant et moi ça me paniquait. Cependant gwen a toujours était bon elève et suivre les cours en anglais ne l'inquiétait pas !
Il est entré à British collège, anciennement Dulwich, fin août, les deux premières semaines ont été très difficiles ! il se plaignait beaucoup, ne voulait plus entendre parler d'anglais...et depuis bien des choses ont changées !
Il parle maintenant avec beaucoup de facilités l'anglais, il ne cherche pas ces mots s'est très fluide, il regarde les films en anglais, fait tout son programme scolaire en anglais avec quelques difficultés de compréhension parfois parce qu'il manque de vocabulaire, il a le dictionnaire à portée de la main ! Et le collège lui fait suivre un cours qui se nomme "esl", c'est de l'anglais renforcé !
Bref quand un enfant est en classe 7 heures par jour et entend causer l'anglais plus de 40 heures par semaine il apprend cette langue très rapidement.
Pour le petit c'est une autre histoire !
Quel âge ont vos enfants et penser vous les scolariser dans une école francophone ou anglaise ?
Nous sommes vraiment tres heureux d'avoir scolariser les enfants dans cette école, parler l'anglais couramment de nos jours n'est pas un luxe, d'un point de vue professionnel et personnel d'ailleurs .
Je vais manger, nous pourrons en rediscuter plus tard vous voulez .
c'est tellement facile pour eux de s'adapter à cet age !!!
Le mien a vécu en Martinique, (il avait 8 ans) en 1 mois il parlait le créole, juste parce que les enfants antillais parlaient créole dans la cour, comme si il y était né ! et finalement il parlait français à la maison avec nous, dès qu'il en avait l'occasion il parlait créole.
Je trouve que c'est une bonne expérience de les mettre dans une école anglaise, l'anglais c'est nécessaire !!!
L'humour suppose une forte dose de détachement et de liberté.
a 50 ans ++ non je ne l'ai pas tester, , mais du cote privée OUI les résultat scolaire sont très bon, , le seul problème est que les jeunes sont un peut trop gâtée par la thailande, , et dur le retour en métropole, , mais je suppose que ce n'est pas un cas unique, , le problème de l'éducation n'est pas celle l'a est meilleur ou non, , mais ou vont ils suivre leurs études ? si les personnes vont rester en thailande autant leur donner une éducation locale, , si ils vont faire leurs études en France, , un seul moyen est l'École française de bkk, ,
la nouvelle école, , est neuve, , spacieuse, , et comme tout college international elle a sa piscine, , standing oblige
un conseille, , habiter pas trop loin, , dur a la saison des pluies, , 2 h de transport rien que aller, , , ,

pour cleming, , apprendre le thaïe ne coûte pas cher, , enseigner les langes etrangeres c'est bon, , le prix a l'heure est entre 400 et 500 bt ce qui est très bien en thailande, , mais attention souvent ils prennent des étranger mais sans permis de travaille, , donc c'est a vos risques, , car il est interdit de travailler avec un visa tourisme, , bien sur la majoritee des prof sont sous le visa tourisme, mais il y a des risques, , le mieux est de travailler dans une université en province, , l'a tout sera légaliser, , mais c'est une vie a la province, , il faut aimer, , en tout cas c'est plus authentique que dans les grandes villes, ,

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’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!!

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[;)!!!]

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,
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!^^
