Moving Family to Pattaya???

17 years ago
My husband has been working in and out of thailand for the past 3 years. We are now considering moving there.
I myself have a few concerns. $$$ wise, we can afford to live in Thailand, my concerns are more for my children (11yrs and 7 yrs).
We are possibly looking at living near Pattaya, is it safe enough?
Are houses reasonable to rent? (sorry cant live in a complex with other ppl, i need my space!)
Are there any good schools there and are they good?
My youngest has speech problems and is autistic (slightly) is this an issue in schools etc?
Can you bring pets?
Wow i have 101 questions but i cant think of them all. My main concerns are really my children. I think this would be a wonder experience for them BUT i also have concerns about taking them away from family and friends and how they would cope.
Also what would i do with myself? Im not a stay at home person, im more then willing to do volunteer work, any ideas?
Any information is very much appreciated! Im sure as things pop up i will have more questions, im still trying to work out the pros and cons of moving etc.....
Cheers...
