Hi jonathansom!

I think it would be easier if you asked more precise questions. Other members could help you accordingly!

Do not move unless you already have job lined up in Thailand because it is not easy to find work that pays a decent salary.

For job options you might Google search for:  jobsdb.co.th

If you want your child to receive a good education then private schools will be your best option and they are not cheap. You are looking at several hundred thousand baht per year depending on school.

Hello, I am moving to Thailand in Decemeber and I take quite a bit of prescribed medication. The prices quoted by Bumrungrad hospital are quite expensive. Can any °µÍø½ûÇø Aussies tell me if retirement in Thailand causes one to lose their NHS prescription benefits or can I return to OZ and have them filled?

Most but not all meds are available over the counter at pharmacies without going to doctor or hospital.

Thank you StrayDog I already knew I could buy the medicine in Thailand and also the prices.  What I want to know is can I come back to OZ annually and pick up medicine or do I lose my NHS benefits when I leave OZ.

Hello raynzel!

Maybe you should start a new thread on the Thailand forum.

Thank you,
