Hi all.

I plan to move to Thailand, specifically Phuket, in March but am almost clueless as to what to do and all the other how-to's. Can anyone help by giving info on Visas upon entry, Living costs and whatnot, Jobs, etc. I am in a distance learning post-graduate program with Chulaloongkorn University but would prefer to live in Phuket instead of Bangkok. I am an RN but have certificates in IELTS and TESOL.

Looking forward to hear from y'all!

Thanks,

Ji

That's exciting.. have you ever been to thailand?
I moved to phuket about 3 weeks ago. Its different, but beautiful and lots of fun. I have made a couple friends, but would love to meet more people and do exciting new things.

We could definitely meet up if you are keen?

How old are you and what job have you found?
