Potential move to Thailand

9 years ago
We are a Canadian expat family current residing in New Delhi, India. My husband has been given an option to relocate to Bangkok next year and work from there. We are very excited and closely considering this because we have visited Thailand twice and we loved it there.

I just have a few questions if any of you can answer or guide me in the right direction.

1. We are considering the American International school of Bangkok for our 2 kids ages 10 and 13. Is this a good school with good facilities or should we be looking at the other options? The reason I prefer an American curriculum is because they currently go to an America school in Delhi as well as if we return to Canada then it is easier for them to integrate into the schooling system there. However, if the ASB is not good I am happy to consider other options because schooling is our top priority when moving to any location.

2. what are some suburbs we should consider for renting apartments or condos? Any reliable real estate agents or companies which can be recommended?

3. Does one have to buy a car or it's easy to get by on cabs and the train?

4. Can one live and save comfortably on approximately USD 5 -8k per month in Bangkok?

Look forward to responses. Thank you in advance.
