Received an job offer to relocate to Bangkok and now I'm freaking out by Danilinho

Tony Sirotkin

Tell me what US 6k is in numbers. Simply if your salary is paid by US or European company it will be largely enough to live on. If it is a Thai company and thai level of salary, this will be less income. 1$ US is about 32 baht. The biggest expense ... Read More

Thai translation please. by leepatrick

I am new to the forum. I am considering moving to Thailand soon. I need help with some translation. I can figure out some via Google and others. Sometimes they do not make sense. Please let me know what this means. ...

Tony Sirotkin

P.S. if you move to Thailand learn Thai you will never regret it. Outside of expats and tourist spots nobody speaks English and the richness of the culture can only be experienced by some capacity to communicate with the locals. Read More
