Hi all. I'm considering moving for Bangkok for 3 years with a very young baby (12 month). We'd have to live in the city center. I'm a little bit anxious about the environment, especially the pollution and the hot weather / mansoon. Since it will be our first child, I'm not sure that it would be the best. What do you people living there think about it ?

Hi Tec,

No worry at all.
Bangkok is very nice to live and people are friendly.
You can find some parks in downtown and it's safe to take your baby for a walk. However, the weather is so hot that your baby may get tanned.
The private hospitals are pretty good with professional English speaking doctors.

You will definitely enjoy living here.

Cheers,
Zazara.
