my udon thani thailand
udon thani my expat base in thailand
Most know Thailand as the world's tourist Eden yet moving to Thailand can become an expat's paradise. Finding a well paid job can be difficult but for the fortunate expats who manage, a luxurious lifestyle is just part of the reward. A warm and welcoming culture, beautiful landscapes and a chance to experience truly different customs make living in this foreign land both endlessly interesting and settling.
While most expats cluster in the dense and crowded city of Bangkok, others realise there are two Thailand: Bangkok and everywhere else. Although less likely, some expats scatter across the northern regions, such as Chiang Mai, udon thani ,and enjoy a quiet and more traditional Thai lifestyle. More popular are the beach resorts of Krabi and Phuket, where tourism related jobs and popular beaches lure fortunate working expats and retirees.

Expat economics - is opportunity knocking?
Expat economics - is opportunity knocking?
It’s interesting how economics can change people’s behaviour very quickly and how those that are ‘fleet of foot’ can benefit.
For a long time the euro was very weak against the US dollar and Sterling. The halcyon days for many were when the pound Sterling was at 1.45 euros and many things in Europe, notably property, seemed very cheap.
Now that’s all changed of course. At some levels the euro and pound touched parity… Continue
