New members of the Thailand forum, introduce yourself here

Hello Everyone from Sir_C (Charles) from Southern USA (NC)

After some research online I am considering visiting Thailand sometime in the future.
Location for my stay would be in Chiang Rai.

Not sure the date of my leaving yet but it may not be very soon.

This forum is a good resource for me.

Thank you for your response and help.

I only have some info from wikitravel on Chiang Rai:   wikitravel.org/en/Chiang_Rai
And a few travel videos posted online.

Question to you:
what would be the issues faced here and what location makes it easier for a new arrival?
Chiang Rai has transport, accomidations, tourist attractions, and shopping.

One issue I found was some sample flights from an airfare website showed Chiang Rai being highest cost tickets  next was Chiang Mai and then Bangkok was the cheapest destination.

As you are a Malaysian living in Thailand how can you get a job for an expat.
Do you work for an employment agency.
What sort of job.
Do you organize visas and work permits.

Hi I'm Cess,

I was in Pattaya a week ago and I'm coming back Mid december for a month. When my job allows me to work remotely, I will be moving to thailand and just do visa runs.

I would want to know and meet locals or expats in pattaya on my visit.

Greetings,
I arrived recently in Bangkok, this is my first visit to Asia.  I'm from Vancouver (and toronto) canada...and i miss the snow a little (because i like to ski).

Hi Harriet

When posting could you please lower your cap lock as posting in uppercase is considered to be rude and is the same a shouting at someone.
Thank you for your understanding

Hi
there are hundreds of thousands of people working and living in Pattaya
SOME are lady workers
Some work in shops and markets like normal folks

Some play golf and eat in fancy restaurants

Some hang out and drink beers and listen to music

There are 1000's of rooms and houses for sale or rent

I suggest you rent for a while to see if you like Pattaya

Drop in and see us some time

you said you plan to live here
what visa do you want to get?
if you buy a house and land you normally need to set up a company to own it
as foreigners cannot buy the land but they can buy the house

there are many tricks to living here

where you buy your house depends on if you have a car or motor bike to get to the shops or restaurants or the beach

you need to focus your questions more based on what lifestyle you expect

I can answer but be more specific on the above

thanks

Welcome to the forum

Unless you have skill that no one here in Thailand can do and have many years of experience You will not get a job. 
You will not get someone to sponsor you because there are legal and financial obligations for the sponsor. They have to make sure you are accommodated, take care of any financial problems you may have along with any legal problems.  Unless the sponsor is a family member or knows you personally then you will be out of luck.

Hi
Like to get in touch with you
