We receive a lot of e-mails asking for recommendations for products, services, and companies. We can't answer all of them individually, so we’ve put together a list of the most important ones below.

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

Moving

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.

Renting

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.

Health

Bumrungrad hospital is considered to be one of the best and most expensive private hospitals in Thailand. But considering the quality of care they give, the hospital offers excellent value for the money. The hospital also comes highly recommended by Karsten’s US and German doctor friends.

You can check the quality of Bumrungrad yourself through their health check-up program.

Health Insurance

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.

Sending Money

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.

Travel

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.

Learning Thai

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.

Lawyer

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.

Business & Corporate

Registering a Company: Feel free to contact us with questions if you need help with registering a company. We’ll assist you based on our experience with running a company in Thailand for over a decade.

Accounting: Our accountant used to work for the Revenue Department. She handles all accounting, tax, payroll, and social security issues for our companies. You can contact her here.

Office Space: It’s quick, easy, and affordable to use a serviced office for your business. Two reputable companies in the market are Regus and Spaces.

Digital and Content Marketing: My current and prior companies did exceptionally well thanks to an excellent digital marketing team that I had build up. My former marketing manager now went ahead and started an agency to provide that service to other companies. You can get in touch with her here.

Need help with something else for your business? Feel free to get in touch.
