You can also check out Thailand Starter Kit for a complete solution to help you get setup as an expat in Thailand.

Moving companies: If you’re looking to move your belongings into or out of Thailand, use this form and get free quotes directly from moving companies.

Agent: I’ve met a ton of real estate agents in Bangkok over the years, and most haven't really lived up to my expectations. If you want to avoid the trial-and-error of finding a qualified agent, you can use this form to get in touch with an agent who receives consistently great feedback.

It’s a quick way to find a place to live and completely free for you.

Hospital: You can visit Bangkok Hospital in Thailand for any treatment you need. They have experienced specialists and use advanced medical technology to treat all ailments. Bangkok Hospital is especially good at treating heart disease, cancer, and bone and joint issues, and has an excellent baby delivery ward.

Health Checkups: Bumrungrad is considered one of the best private hospitals for health checkups because of the quality of healthcare they provide. The hospital is known for diagnosing illnesses that other hospitals missed or misdiagnosed. Bumrungrad also comes highly recommended by US and German doctor friends of Thailand Starter Kit.

Karsten, the founder of Thailand Starter Kit, uses the French insurance company ACS. They pay with no deductible for all inpatient and outpatient treatment. With a coverage limit of $500,000, their Silver Plan is one of the few plans in Asia with sufficient coverage.

Luma Health is a good alternative.

Xendpay is among the cheapest ways to send money to Thailand. The fees are some of the lowest, saving you about 1,500 baht on a 30,000 baht transfer. They’re also a cheap way to send money to other countries as well.

Flights and Hotels: Expedia offers good deals when it comes to flights and hotels. This is mostly due to them having lots of special promotions in the Thai market. You can easily save hundreds of dollars using Expedia.

Travel Insurance: If you want to travel to Thailand with peace of mind, then get travel insurance with World Nomads. It’ll costs less than $10 a day but come with a $300,000 limit on emergency evacuation and repatriation.

Car Rental: Renting a car is a great way to explore Thailand, especially when your destination is outside of Bangkok. You can do easily rent a car with HappyCar. The rate you get from them can even be cheaper than renting directly from a rental company.

Thaipod101 is a great way to learn Thai online, no matter where you are in the world. They have a full list of audio and video lessons to help you quickly get started in speaking Thai.

Legal: Finding an ethical, professional, and affordable lawyer is super hard. Fill out this form and we will put you in touch with someone that meets all three criteria.
