We're moving there for good, been there as tourists but want to know what we need to take that we can't buy there or that would be difficult to get

Hi, I have lived in Asia for 17 years, moved here to Bangkok 6 years ago from Manila (was in Hong Kong prior to that). I had visited Thailand 65 times before I moved here and thought I knew all about it...Living here is completely different from visiting or holidaying here. The most valuable thing you can bring with you is a mile of patience and a sense of humour. Learn the language first and foremost, go to school as soon as you get here. I recommend Union Language School (ULS) near Asia Hotel, Ratchatewi BTS. Everything else you need you can get here so you only need to bring personal belongings, just as if you were moving to a new house in your own country.

Been there and moving there for good - so you should know :-) Depends on which location. In general, most things are easily available here, one way or another. I'll not be too concerned ... money talks :-)

check if you really can live there for good. Take care
