Opening a Bank of Bangkok account from abroad by Ruffian Dick
Hello all, just curious if anyone here has been successful in opening an account in the Bank of Bangkok from overseas. http://www.bangkokbank.com/BangkokBank/PersonalBanking/DailyBanking/Accounts/SavingsAccounts/Pages/Default.aspx For a foreigner ...
Just FYI: I found out, in general, that Citibank (based in NYC but has branches in the USA) is the only bank that accepts international wire transfers into their bank FEE-FREE, and they will then send that transfer, FEE FREE out to your Citibank ... Read More
Especially on Visitation rights by lcosini
My ex girlfriend and I had a baby, but she decided to raise him alone and went off to her parents. They, being rich and powerful (or rather spiteful), refused to allow me to see or visit my child. What legal recourse or rights do I have? Especially ...
Go to a lawyer if you want legal rights/visitation advice. Read More
Moving to Bangkok with a large family by jeremy_syd
Hi, looking for any people who have moved or know people who moved to Bangkok with a large (more than 2 kids) family. I've got a heap of questions about schools, transportation and where to live!
Car: if you are in BKK the traffic is so bad its actually one big, moving jam. Already in 2008 I had to get out of my car (I employed a driver) and went on the Skytrain to be on time for an appointment. Another time I had a speaking engagement and ... Read More

Hi, looking for any people who have moved or know people who moved to Bangkok with a large (more than 2 kids) family. I've got a heap of questions about schools, transportation and where to live!
P.S. I didn't ask you if you plan to be in BKK a long time - or if it's just for a few years. Since you mentioned Brussels, I assume you move around in your profession. There is a Lycee in every capital, more or less, and that gives ... Read More

I lived in Brussels 9 years :) As long as one parent can speak French and can be supportive, it would work. But if you are interested, I would encourage you to contact the school to see the requirements - and maybe you both go to the school to ask ... Read More

Hi, looking for any people who have moved or know people who moved to Bangkok with a large (more than 2 kids) family. I've got a heap of questions about schools, transportation and where to live!
P.S. FYI, we had three kids (2 boys, 1 girl) and we got around just fine in a Renault 5 when they were younger. The Lycée was perfect for them (we were in diplomatic life, so it was the best choice for us - our kids grew up tri-lingual). ... Read More

If you want to get feedback from parents (and the students) about a particular school, just go there at school closing time and mingle. Parents will be happy to tell you their impressions, and hopefully the kids' commentaries will match up. I ... Read More

NIST has an extremely high reputation. The founder was dissatisfied with the other intl schools and started his own with the best of the best. Check them out. How many kids are there in your household, by the way? Sometimes multi kid discounts apply ... Read More

Living the life by Robert5074
So, from what I have gatherd, and I have done alot of home work. For a comfortable life of two years, it would cost between 8,000 and 9,000 US dollars. Thats pretty good. For a budgeted life style of two years, you could do it for 6,500 to 7,500 US. ...

Have you asked your new doctor/and/or pharmacy to order them from Bangkok for you? A pharmacy should be interested in having a continual supply of meds for you, even if you are the only one ordering them. An alternative: if you have the scripts ... Read More

You don't speak Thai. - is your English fluent? If yes, you can look under Thailand's various visa offerings. It seems you haven't even looked up requirements for work visas in Thailand, and yet you say you want to find work in a ... Read More
Thai medical pratices. by bill kip
It looks everyone missed a post I made somewhere else. I am very surprised that there wasn't a flurry of comments. Generally speaking I am very happy with both the medical practices, and the phenomenal prices. The first time for me was with ...
Without a colonoscopy, my husband (whom I had not met yet) would have surely died of colorectal cancer. He did not fear or suspect anything. He hadnt been sick a day in his life. He is quite thankful this test saved his life. But because he had no ... Read More
