Hello Stephen

Welcome to Expat.com.
Could you explain your questions more specific ,a 3 bedroom house are you going to buy or rent?
Best area? Is mean peaceful area or a convenient commercial area ect.

Awesome. Thanks Karen!

We are looking to rent a 3 bdrm home for one year. Whaen I say "good" area I mean safe, yet the closer to centre, the better.  I am curious about schools for my 8 year old but have not even started this search yet. We are coming to Thai to experience a beautiful culture (warts and all) that we'd never get to experience otherwise.
I am also curious about home/day care for my 18momth old....

So many questions...so little time.

Thank you!

Sawasdee Stephen,

There are many international schools here. You can get the school first and find accommodation near school.

Let me know if I can be any helps.

It IS helpful, thank you so much!
I think it will be so much easier to gain perspective once we get there. Almost impossible from way far away...but we continue to try
QUESTION: When does the school season start?  Here in North America, as you know, its September.
Also curious about finding a network of parents who home school...

Thanks again

Still one and half year 20 hour 15 minutes 30 seconds from my retirement and my new life in Chiang Mai I am already having butterflies on my tummy thinking how my new life will be alone there.
Please be my friend write to me from there.
regards
Rene
