Welcome

This book is intended as a help for

both newcomers and longer staying

expats - mostly European - who have

decided to live and work in Thailand. It

explains and facilitates practical issues

and intends to inspire you to get the most

out of your stay.

When you move here, you will need to find

new friends. The best way is by joining

one or more of the social and professional

associations for your own nationality here.

If there is not one of your own, then maybe

one for your region - like the European

countries. An example is the Scandinavian

Society Siam in Bangkok or Scandinavian

Expats Club in Pattaya are excellent places

for Nordic people to meet new friends.

The various business communities are also

vibrant groups of very different companies

from the small entrepreneur to the big

corporations with manufacturing units

and countrywide net of outlets. At the

back of this book you will find a directory

for Scandinavia in Thailand of all these

companies, plus a few more that in each

their way are also an important part of the

Scandinavian network in Thailand.

This booklet is part of the ScandAsia

magazine and online media service.

ScandAsia serves all Scandinavian

expatriates from Denmark, Sweden,

Norway and Finland living in Thailand with

news updates by email and online. It is

also a social media in itself - if readers

register as a user they can actually

connect to other readers, set up groups

of interests etc.

The magazine is sent directly to the home

of the registered readers and the rest of the

circulation is placed at points frequently

visited by Scandinavian tourists like popular

restaurants, embassies and consulates.

This is also, where you will find extra copies

of this booklet if you should loose your

current copy or need an extra for your

workplace.

The website ScandAsia.com provides you

will all the contacts you need and lists all the

events that are arranged for you and other

Scandinavian residents in Thailand. Nordic

readers should sign up for the monthly

e-newsletter and emails from this website

and submit your address to receive also the

monthly magazine.

I wish you a happy year in Thailand!

MOBILE PHONES

The first thing you need is a Sim card

with data transfer and some phone time.

In Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), there are

several places to buy a Thai SIM card. The

main spot are the Network’s kiosks after you

exit customs, right outside of the International

gates where people hold up signs. There are

kiosks for Thailand’s main mobile operators

– DTAC (blue), AIS (Green ) and True Move

(Red). If there is no waiting line, anyone of

these is fine. Jump in line and wait your turn,

and the staff should get you hooked right up.

You can also wait and find one of the

operators’ shops later. If you plan for a longer

stay, that might be cheaper than the tourist

SIM’s they prefer to sell in the airport. You

will need help from the local Thai staff with

setting up your phone so you can read your

emails and surf websites and applications

online, but mostly it works automatically.

Previously, a SIM could be bought in

any 7-11 store, but since the authorities are

worried about terrorists, all SIM cards must

now be registered on your passport.

INTERNET

With the spread of smartphones the number

of internet users in Thailand has exploded

and is probably today over 50 million people

- although the vast majority don’t think of

themselves as surfing the internet, but only

playing with their phone!

The largest regular internet provider in

the country are True, AIS, DTAC, and 3BB.

True provides home entertainment services

with their True Move service as well. To get

online with you laptop, you can either find a

Wi-Fi spot in most restaurants or - for more

mobility - buy a USB plugin that includes Wi-

Fi access from your laptop, tablet or mobile

phone. In Thailand they call them “air-cards”

or “wif-fi cards”.

LANGUAGE

If you plan to stay for a year in Thailand,

it is highly recommended that you find a

Thai language course near where you live.

Do this as soon as possible. After just a

few weeks when you can say “turn left”,

“turn right” and “where is the toilet”, you

feel less of an urge to take this course, but

your progress with the Thai language will

soon come to a stop if you don’t take a

systematic approach.

Thai, or more precisely Central Thai, is the

national and official language of Thailand. It

is spoken and understood by all Thai people.

But for many, their local dialect will remain

their first language. Although most words are

the same, these dialects will have a different

sound and many of the words will be quite

different to Central Thai. The Thai language

is tonal and has a unique script with far more

character than the western alphabet. It has

also three relational markers which help the

The Basics

Thai reader understand how the word is

pronounced.

Some words in Thai have roots back to

Pali, Sanskrit and Old Khmer. Some words

been assimilated from Chinese and recently,

many words have been adopted from

English, however these borrowed words are

often used with a convenient abbreviation

that makes it hard to recognize.

The most famous word adopted from

French is the Thai word that used to describe

all white skinned foreigners, “farang”. The

word comes from the Thai pronunciation of

the country France, “Farangcet”.

TRANSLATION

Google translate is not yet good enough to

use as online translation from Thai to English

or from English to Thai.

Online, the following services are

recommended:

http://www.thai-language.com/

http://www.thai2english.com/

For official translation of documents,

there are many small and inexpensive service

operators in the main tourist centres of

Thailand.

WEATHER

Thailand has a tropical climate, high in both

temperature and humidity. April and May are

the hottest months of the year . June brings

the South West Monsoon and the rainy

season until October. From November to the

end of February, there is a cooling North East

breeze and a reduction in the humidity level.

It is always much cooler in the north where

the temperature may occasionally drop to as

low as 2°C.

For coastal weather, this website is great:

CULTURE

The Thai culture incorporates cultural beliefs

and characteristics indigenous to the area

known as modern day Thailand. It is coupled

with much influence from ancient India, China

and Cambodia, along with the neighboring

pre-historic cultures of Southeast Asia. It is

influenced primarily by Animism, Hinduism,

Buddhism, as well as by later migrations

from China. During the last century, various

forms of Christian and Islam beliefs have

been spreading.

FOOD

The Thai cuisine is the national cuisine of

Thailand. Blending elements of several

Southeast Asian traditions, Thai cooking

places emphasis on lightly prepared dishes

with strong aromatic components. The

spiciness of Thai cuisine is well known. As

with other Asian cuisines, balance, detail

and variety are of great significance to Thai

chefs. Thai food is known for its balance of

three to four fundamental taste senses in

each dish or the overall meal: sour, sweet,

salty, and bitter.

THAILAND NEWS

Thailand has a rich mix of English language

media and even a few in various Nordic

languages.

The most comprehensive Nordic news

website is www.scandasia.com serving

news daily for Scandinavian residents in

Thailand and other countries in South East

Asia.

The local news service in English is very

good:

Thai News Network

http://www.thaitvonline.tv/thai-aseannews-tan-network/

Thai PBS in English

For residents in Pattaya, there is a Norwegian

newspaper apart from a few local English

language media.


The Basics


Visa regulations

VISA REGULATIONS

If you plan to stay more than 3 months in

Thailand you should apply for a visa at the

Thai embassy or consulate in your home

country before you travel here. Be sure to

apply for the right type of visa.

Visa on arrival

If you are sure that you will not stay over 30

days in Thailand, there is no need to apply

for a visa. Passport holders from all the

Nordic countries will get permission to stay

for 30 days if they arrive at an airport and

15 days if they arrive at a land checkpoint.

Conditions are:

a) your passport must be valid for at

least 6 months on the day you enter

b) you have proof of onward travel

(confirmed air, train, bus or boat

tickets)

c) you have enough money to support

yourself during the stay.

Tourist Visa

Tourist Visa can be applied for at any embassy

or consulate general outside Thailand.

Applicants should submit a completed

application form with a recent photograph.

The application fee is 1,000 Baht (subject to

change without notice).

Arrival with a Tourist Visa to Thailand

gives you permission to stay up to 60 days

if you arrive by air. If you arrive overland you

may be refused entry if you have just stayed

30 days on a Visa on arrival prior to applying

for the tourist visa, so better fly.

Education Visa

Students at Government approved

educational institutions can apply for a nonim

ED (Education) visa. You can also start

by coming to Thailand and then enroll in the

school, you chose. Often, students select

the Thai language course. The school offers

to handle all the paperwork, but most or all of

the tuition fees must be paid up in advance.

An education visa costs 2000 Baht (60 USD,

40 EUR - subject to change) paid to the Thai

Embassy or Consulate. The tuition fee is not

included in these fees.

Business Visa

If you want to work in Thailand, you will

need a Business visa (non-Im ‘B’). You have

to apply at an embassy outside Thailand.

The easiest is to start from your home

country, but if you are already in Thailand,

we suggest applying at the Thai embassy in

Singapore. Since 1 February 2017, the Royal


Visa regulations

Thai Embassy, Singapore has introduced

Electronic Visa Application (EVA), where visa

applicants will be able to fill out application

forms, submit and check application status

online. Applicants start by logging into

the website http://www.thaiembassy.sg/

visaonline/ and the embassy encourages to

use electronic visa application.

The most important paperwork you

need are:

a) letter from your Thai company

stating your position and salary.

b) corporate registration papers from

the employing Thai company.

c) A WP3 letter from Ministry of Labour

that your future employer will get for

you. It is a kind of pre-approval of

your work permit once you come

into Thailand on your Business Visa.

A business visa does not allow you to

work in Thailand but is the first step needed

to apply for a work permit. Additional

paperwork is needed if you intend to work

as a teacher. The schools know what to

provide and will hand you a bundle of

documents for submission to the embassy.

Retirement Visa

Those over the age of 50 can apply to live

in Thailand for one year at a time using a

retirement visa. The application starts with

obtaining a three-month retirement visa,

also known as an “O-A” visa. Before you

buy a home, consider in the beginning to

rent a property instead.

To qualify for a retirement visa you need

to have the following documents:

a) Copy of your passport

b) Passport photos

c) Letter from bank showing 800,000

Baht deposit, or

d) Proof of 60,000 Baht a month

income

e) Criminal record clearance from

country of origin

f) Medical certificate

g) Completed application form

Attorneys can come in handy during the

process especially if you want to bring some

of your personal items from your home

country which is one of the common issues

that create confusion.

The financial requirements can be

a combination of both income and fixed

deposit. This needs to be calculated for you.

Visa runs

Most foreign visitors to Thailand are granted

a 30 day stay upon entry via airport, or

15 days via any land border if they arrive

without a visa. Extending your visa without

leaving the country cost 1900 baht and it is

not possible to get more than one (1) week.

PERMANENT RESIDENCY

Applying for Permanent Residency in

Thailand requires you to have the following

criteria:

a) Must have had a Thai non-immigrant

visa for at least three years prior to

the submission of your application.

b) Must be a holder of a non-immigrant

visa at the time of submitting your

application.

c) Must be able to meet one of these

categories:

• Investment category (minimum

3 - 10 Mil. Baht investment in

Thailand)

• Working / Business category

• Supports a family or Humanity

Reasons category: In this category,

you must be having a relationship

with a Thai citizen or an alien who

already has a residence permit

as a husband or wife; father or

mother; or a guardian of a Thai

child less than 20 years of age.

• Expert / academic category

• Other categories as determined

by Thai Immigration

You should note that the list of required

documents for the application depends on

the category under which the application

is made.

Setting up a home

If you plan to stay in Thailand for more than

a typical vacation, finding a place to live is

top priority.

RENTING

Though there are several options to choose

from, it is advisable not to immediately jump

into real estate and purchase a property.

Renting an apartment until you are certain of

your commitment level for purchase is better.

There are several types of

accommodation in Thailand including highrise

apartments, condominium complexes,

seaside bungalows and stand-alone houses

and all are usually available for rent.

Since foreigners are not allowed to own

land in Thailand (see below), local landlords

are sensitive to expats’ rental needs, and do

a good job of advertising available properties.

Individual rental agreements vary so

check the terms and conditions carefully.

Most rental agreements are one-year

contracts secured with a deposit. When you

want to terminate the rent, the landlord must

be informed at least 30 days in advance.

If the agreement is terminated before the

end of the signed agreement, the security

deposit may be kept or returned based on

the terms in the contract but mostly at the

landlord’s discretion.

The tenant is responsible for any

damage to the apartment or house as

well as any furnishings that came with

the property. The security deposit will be

retained to cover any damage or items

missing from the property.

Local condominium apartments vary

with location and design ranging from

4,000 to more than 14,000 Baht. In the

most exclusive end of the market, rents up

to 100.000 Baht per month are available.


Setting up a home

The high cost apartments are justified by

excellent facilities and convenient location.

Tips

Bargaining is often not an option on rental

prices. Many landlords would rather leave

their properties empty than compromise on

the rental price they find reasonable. Even if

your rental agreement may be ‘informal’, it’s

advisable to buy a standard rental agreement

for you and the landlord to sign. This will

provide you with protection in the case of

unfair eviction. To make sure that your deposit

is refunded in full, take plenty of photos of

the place, and conduct an inspection of the

property with the landlord in attendance,

pointing out to them any problems with the

place. Since you are paying for your own

electricity, water and telephone bills, be sure

to conserve power whenever possible.

HOME PURCHASE

Thai real estate is a complex area, so before

contacting a real estate agents who have

property for sale in Thailand, it may be more

helpful to get to terms with the requirements

of purchasing property in Thailand.

Condominiums

Condominiums are equal to what we in the

Nordic countries call apartments. On certain

simple condition, foreigners may legally own

a condominium in their own name.

A foreigner may own a condominium

as long as the condo is one of the foreign

quotas of the building which can usually be

no more than 49 percent of the total number

of condos in the building. And it must be

above the third floor.

Not all blocks of apartments are

condominiums; the building has to be


Setting up a home

registered with the land department as a

“condominium”. Check for this carefully

before signing any agreement.

Land

Foreigners are forbidden to own land. This

includes attempts to evade the law through

a Thai proxy or straw man/-woman - even

when this would be your lawfully married

wife - or a setting up of a Thai company with

the purpose of evading this law.

Foreigner are welcome to purchase

a land lease, also called leasehold. The

maximum time limit for the land lease is 30

years and the lease must be written in Thai

although a translation may be filed along with

the Thai-language contract. The contract

must be recorded on the land title at the

local Land Office to protect the foreigner

from eviction in case for instance a new land

owner would wish to build something on

the land.

Once you own the land lease, you can

own the house, you may decide to build

on it.

Professional assistance

Visit a few real estate agents before deciding

who to rely on when requesting professional

help to search for property. While real estate

agents are good in assisting you in your

research, they are seldom independent

professionals. In Thailand, a property agency

is often owned by the company who built the

property which would be illegal in the Nordic

countries.

Select your own lawyer. Don’t rely on the

sellers or the agency’s lawyer. The ownership

issue is important to arrange in a way that

can not later be deemed a circumvention

of the law by the Thai authorities. If you

plan to build your own house, a lawyer is

indispensable.


Setting up a home

BUILDING YOUR OWN

There are several procedures to go through

prior to being able to build a house in

Thailand. Since foreigners are not allowed

to own any land in Thailand, it is essential to

consult an independent lawyer before going

ahead with any type of building contract.

Building permits are regulated by the

Building Control Act and issued under the

Town and City Planning Act. If the land to

be used to build on has a clear and legal

title deed, a building permit can be obtained

at the Land Dept Office. Usually, the builder

applies for building permits on behalf of the

construction owner.

Other factors

There are other factors that are looked at

and should be observed when applying for

a building permit, which is where a lawyer

would come in very handy. Also, depending

on which zone you have decided to build

your house in, keep in mind that several

zoning restrictions may apply.


Setting up a home

Documents needed for acquiring a

building permit include;

a) Title deed that allows for purchase,

sale or transfer.

b) Architectural drawings.

c) Land Development permits: Land

Trade and Land Distribution License.

d) Infrastructure permits; Water, electricity

and housing construction.

HOME DECORATION

After making a decision and finally moving

in to your new house - rented, purchased

or built by yourself - it is time to turn it into

a cozy and comfortable home. The Nordic

kitchen concept that works as a living room

has become popular.


Setting up a home

Building material and hardware

Moving in to a new home, there are probably

a number of adjustments or minor changes

you would like to make to your house. In

Thailand, look for some of the large chains

like ThaiWatsadu, which we recommend.

But other good stores like HomeWorks

and Homepro are also good. You will find

a variety of hardware, do-it-yourself items,

garden supplies, electrical items and tools

that you can use for your home.

Furniture

Depending on your desired design and

trend, there are many stores which offer

different varieties of furniture at attractive

prices. There are a number of smaller, more

localized furniture shops with staff who can

speak some English.

Asian furniture mixes nicely with

Scandinavian style homes and will preserve

unique memories from your stay in Thailand.

Moving stuff from your home country here

is a chapter by itself, but if you didn’t bring

anything with you from your previous home,

there are furniture stores all over Thailand

around such as Index Living Mall, Central

Department Store, IKEA, and Koncept.

FACILITIES

Satellite TV

The biggest satellite TV provider is True

Visions. It has a variety of channels including

National Geographic, Star Movies, HBO,

BBC World, Star Sports, Animal Planet, CNN,

Cartoon Network among many others. The

programs are available in different packages

of varying costs depending on the channels

that you chose. A monthly program guide will

be sent to the subscriber’s home address. .

To watch Scandinavian TV programs,

you don’t need a satellite. There are providers

that offer Internet TV with modems. But it is

even cheaper to open a VPN service with a

provider back home. Then you can also see

the thousands of web pages, that the Thai

censors do not allow the Thai people to see.

In Denmark, here is one such provider:

https://www.expressvpn.com/vpnserver/denmark-vpn.


Setting up a home

Internet

Internet usage has grown rapidly in Thailand

and service providers compete to offer

attractive packages. Currently, True is the

largest internet provider in the country. In

most condominiums you can contact the

office and get monthly contracts or prepaid

cards that include Wi-Fi access from your

mobile phone or wi-fi through companies

such as AIS, DTAC, True or 3BB.

Postal system

Thailand Post Company Limited owned by

the state is Thailand’s postal service provider.

There are more than 3,000 post offices in

Thailand with over 30,000 smaller, privately

owned branch offices in various locations.

Most post offices operate from 08:30

to 16:30 and offer a variety of services

other than postal services including money

transfers, bill payments and a whole range

of other business services.

Thai post office accepts mail with

addresses written in English language as

well as Thai language.

HOUSEHOLD INSURANCE

A household insurance would be very useful

in the case of unexpected damages that may

occur to your home. It is encouraged that

you don’t rely on your landlord, in the case

that you are renting your accommodation, to

already have some kind of coverage.

It is best to acquire an insurance that

covers your home in the case of a fire, flood

or theft. These are the extreme cases through

which a huge amount of damage cannot be

accounted for.

Working in Thailand

GETTING A WORK PERMIT

Foreigners who wish to work in Thailand,

whether paid or voluntary, must have

a work permit. Exceptions are only

reserved for certain international agencies,

diplomats, those working for the United Nations

and a small number of other categories.

Foreigners are restricted from taking up

themselves certain occupations that are

protected under the Foreign Business Act of

1999. Those include agriculture, hairdressing,

pottery, shoe making and certain other

professions. But the foreigner may work in

a company engaged in these activities, for

instance as export manager.

The official definition of “work” by the

Ministry of Labour is “exerting energy or

using knowledge whether or not in consideration

of wages or other benefits”. Organisations

representing foreigners working in

Thailand have tried for years to request for

clear definitions, but so far no Thai government

has been willing to change the current

regulations that could be abused by corrupt

state officials when for instance retired persons

are seen engaging in useful activities in

their local environment.

A work permit is issued by the Department

of Employment, Ministry of Labour.

In applying for a work permit in Thailand,

you need the assistance of your potential

employer. The procedure is complex and

involves the collection of a large amount of

documentation.

In general, there are two criteria, that

must be met. The employing company must

employ at least four Thais for every foreigner

whose work permit it sponsors, and the

company must have a paid up share capital

of no less than 2 mill. THB. per foreigner it

wishes to employ.

The normal procedure to gain a work

permit after arriving in Thailand is first to

travel abroad e.g. to Singapore with the papers

prepared by your new employer in order

to apply at a Thai embassy for a Non-Immigrant

B Visa. Recently, this embassy has

introduced online application procedures, so

check that out first.

When you arrive back in Thailand with

your Non-Im B visa, your employer can start

applying for a work permit. It will usually be

granted for either six months or one year

regardless of your contract. Once issued,

a Work Permit must be kept at the place of

employment ready for inspection.

Expiry

The Work Permit expires when the Non-

Immigrant B Visa expires. Check the date

of expiry of the visa and make sure it’s

renewed before the expiration date to avoid

going through the entire application process

again.

A work permit is only valid for the specific

job in the specific company for which it is

issued, any change in duties or transfer to


Working in Thailand

Copyright : Kaspars Grinvalds/123RF

another employer must be applied for and

approved in advance for a transfer or application

of new work permit.

Employment without permit

Penalties applicable to foreigners working

without work permits can be quite harsh

ranging from a fine from THB 2,000 to THB

100,000 and/or imprisonment and/or deportation.

In addition to that, working without

permit may result in other penalties being

imposed under the Immigration Act prohibiting

re-entrance to the country (blacklisted).

In practice, however, the authorities usually

settle the case and deport the person from

Thailand. It is highly recommended that foreigners

who wish to work in Thailand make

an effort to apply for a proper work permit.

JOB SEARCH

Looking for a job in Thailand may not be as

difficult as you think. The newspapers carry

job advertisements and there are several

online job advertisement portals.

From there on, it is the same process as

you would go through in any other country.

It depends on the employers’ needs and the

job seeker’s skills. The more specialized the

skills, especially in the fields that are in higher

demand, the better your chances.

Location is an important factor to consider.

Tourist areas such as Bangkok, Pattaya,

Hua Hin or Phuket pose stronger competition

in the job market. Teaching is a primary

job choice for many, but there are also opportunities

in sectors such as banking and

finance, computer and IT, sales, entertainment,

tourism, writing, administration and in

areas using specialized skills.

Don’t bother applying for jobs where the

company has specified it as “Thai National

Only”. They cannot give you a work permit.

START UP A BUSINESS

While foreigners may set up a company in

Thailand, it is not a straightforward process

and all company documents filed have to be

in the Thai language. The help of a professional

with experience in the field is highly

recommended; there are restrictions on the


Working in Thailand

type and activity of businesses that foreigners

can be involved with under the Foreign

Business Act and other legislation.

A breakdown of the procedures to starting

your own business can be summarized

with:

a) Apply for permission to use company

name

b) Deposit paid-in capital in a bank

c) Obtain a corporate seal

d) Get approval for memorandum of

association and apply to register

the company as a legal entity (final

registration) at the Private Limited

Companies Registrar.

e) Submit company work regulations to

the Office of Labour Protection and

Welfare of the Ministry of Labour at

the district where the head office of

the company is located.

Each of the above procedures may take

a few days to process and some may require

a fee to complete.

Using a business law firms

Lawyers are quite useful for most transactions

or signing of important documents

as they are written in Thai. There are also

certain regulations and procedures that an

experienced lawyer would understand more

than foreigners so they do not get stuck in

any sticky situations.

Services which fall into this category

include the drafting of public instruments,

private contracts or agreements, registration

and licensing requirements, notary services,

personal legal documentation, and

many others. It is best to get recommendations

from people who have previously used

lawyers. Some lawyers have a particular

good reputation in the Scandinavian communities

around the country. Ask your local

Nordic club.

CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE

To get a network of business friends, it is

recommended that you join the Chamber

of Commerce covering your home country.

There are four Nordic chambers of commerce

in Thailand. Their full names are Danish-

Thai Chamber of Commerce, Thai-Swedish

Chamber of Commerce, Thai-Norwegian

Chamber of Commerce and Thai-Finnish

Chamber of Commerce.

Dancham, Swecham, Norcham and

Thai-Finnish, are organizations that offer

news and information about companies and

businesses from the respective nations in

Thailand. Members are informed of events,

parties, latest news and much more of what

is going on in the community.

Norway - www.norcham.com/

Sweden - www.swecham.com/

Networking

Business and social networking are events

that everyone looks forward to. It is not just

a great place to meet people but also offer

a good opportunity to mingle with people of

the same background, expats. All the four

Nordic chambers of commerce hold networking

events on a monthly to bi-monthly

basis. Around four to six times a year, all the

chambers in Thailand jointly come together

for an all chamber networking event. At these

networking events, you are chanced to meet

some of the big guns in top organizations in

Thailand. Following up on all contacts you

gain through these events will also improve

the chances of securing a job locally.

Money matters

Living in Thailand is more affordable

than living in the Nordic countries.

This and other factors make Thailand

a preferred country for retirement. In recent

years, companies in the Nordic countries

have started moving some tasks to be

performed in Thailand. The job is done by

the same staff as before but relocated to

Thailand where the salary may be less but

the person will likely enjoy a higher standard

of living for the amount.

COST OF LIVING

The general cost of living in Thailand can

be very low or very high according to the

chosen life style. Renting a fully equipped,

high end condo in the heart of Bangkok, dining

at western restaurants every day and visiting

top nightclubs often would certainly require

an income of at least THB 150,000. There

are however alternatives to this. Renting a

townhouse in the suburb of Bangkok for 8,000

THB per month is quite normal for the price

conscious family.

Eating out every day, mostly Thai food with

an occasional western treat, purchasing Thai

goods from the supermarket and going out

once a week would probably come up to THB

30,000 - 40,000.

Food, accommodation and shopping can

be obtained at very reasonable cost but as

usual, the cost of living depends on location.

Renting a furnished, modern house in places like

Surin, Nong Kai or Korat would be less expensive

than in Bangkok or the traditional tourist areas.

BANKS AND ACCOUNTS

Expats are allowed to open a bank account in

Thailand but the process of doing so may not

be that easy. Most banks will insist that you

must have a work permit before you are able

to open a bank account. But sometimes a

branch would just require a non-immigrant type

visa. Local banks in popular tourist areas are

usually more helpful as they regularly deal with

foreigners. Best advice is to try a few different

branches and a few different banks. The major

Thai banks are Bangkok Bank, Krung Thai

Bank, Kasikornbank, Siam Commercial Bank.

The alternative is to leave your money in

a bank abroad and simply transfer the money

you need using ATM machines or charging

payments to your bank card. Be sure to

withdraw money in big amounts as there is

a high bank fee for dispensing any amount of

money from your foreign bank card using a

Thai ATM machine. On top of that your foreign

bank may have additional charges.

PRIVATE BANKING

One of the incentives for working abroad is

the opportunity to save up more money than

if you were working back home. Foreigners

in Thailand pay taxes usually only on the

amount they are being paid by their employer

in Thailand and not on any additional benefits

that the employer may pay into a retirement

account elsewhere in the world. The new

OECD simplified shared accounting system,

whereby all tax authorities world wide share

basic financial details about any individual

does not seem to have changed this rule for

the Thai revenue department.

If you go out for networking events, you will

soon get phone calls from international wealth

management representatives who will ask you

for a meeting where they will explain how they

can make your money grow faster. While such

a meeting may be educational, it is probably

wise to investigate who these companies

really are before you trust them with your hard


Money matters

earned saving.

You should instead contact yourself

some of the private banking institutions that

serve other Scandinavians living in Asia. One

such bank is Jyske Bank which is located

in Gibraltar, but often visits their clients in

Thailand and elsewhere in Asia.

INCOME TAX

Everyone, foreign or Thai, who work in Thailand

or have taxable income must apply for a

taxpayer’s identification number which is issued

by the Revenue Department on presentation of

a Thai identification card or foreign passport and

evidence of the need for the number.

A foreigner who lives in Thailand for more

than 180 days in a tax year (the calendar year)

is considered a Thai resident for tax purposes.

A resident is required to file taxes on all income

received within Thailand as well as income

received from foreign sources brought into

Thailand.

A non-resident living in Thailand less than

180 days within a tax year is only required

to file a tax return and pay taxes on income

received from sources within Thailand.

All foreigners who work in Thailand are

generally required to hold a valid work permit

for the position they hold. But a tax resident

foreigner is liable to pay tax on income

received, as set out above, regardless of

whether they have a work permit. Recently,

the tax structure was made more progressive

following the following steps:

TAXATION BREAKDOWN

Deductible expenses and allowances

Certain amounts can be deducted from your

income:

- 40% deduction for normal wages income

and copyright income mentioned, but

maximum is 60,000 THB;

- 10 to 30% deduction for income from

renting out a house or land, depending

on the type of property;

- self employed may deduct up to 30%

deduction or the actual expense if proof

can be provided

You may also deduct:

• 30,000 THB basic amount for each the

taxpayer and his/her spouse;

• 15,000 THB for each child (with a

maximum of 45,000 THB);

• 2,000 THB educational allowance for

each child;

• 30,000 THB per parent in Thailand (over

60 years old and with a yearly income

less than 30,000 THB);

• 60,000 THB per disabled or incapacitated

person who the taxpayer takes care of.

• Life insurance premiums (max. 100,000

THB);

• Health insurance contributions paid for

the taxpayer’s parents (max. 15,000

THB);

• Qualified provident fund payments (max.

500,000 THB);

• Interest on mortgages following the

purchase of a residential building in

Thailand are deductible up to an amount

of 100,000 THB;

• Contributions to a Long Term Equity

Fund up to 500,000 THB;

• Charitable contributions, but not

exceeding 10% if the taxable income,

and;

• Donations to educational institutions may

be deducted for 200% (up to maximum

10% of the taxable income).


Money matters

Withholding tax

Employers must withhold some of the money

they pay to both foreigners and locals and

deposit the withheld amount to the revenue

department. There are different rates of

withholding tax depending on the sort of

income. If the foreigner is a local resident, the

withholding tax can vary from 5 to 37 percent.

If the foreigner is non-resident, the withholding

is 15 percent.

The taxpayer will get a receipt of the amount

withheld. After the year end, the taxpayer

must declare his or her income and when the

amount of tax to be paid is calculated, the

money that was withheld or deposited through

the year will be deducted. Then the tax payer

will either get money back or will have to pay

an additional tax.

Social welfare contribution

Each company and employee also has to

make contributions to the Social Security

Fund. The contribution amounts to 5% of

the total salary but cannot be more than 750

Baht. As is the case in many countries, this

fund serves for example for those who are

injured, sick, disabled, or on maternity leave.

Child welfare and unemployment (50% of the

salary for maximum 180 days) are paid out of

this fund as well.

Companies employing more than ten

employees also have to pay a contribution to the

Workmen’s Compensation Fund, amounting

to between 0.2% and 1% of the annual salary

of the employee (depending on the assessed

risks of the work). In case of injury, sickness,

disablement or decease, the employee or the

heirs will receive compensation (60% of the

monthly salary) and reimbursement of certain

costs out of this fund.

Foreigners employed in Thailand

participate in all the above schemes.

Choosing your school

Choosing a new school when moving

from Europe to Thailand has become

increasingly difficult for parents. There

are more and more schools established all the

time, and each institution has its own unique

philosophy and attributes. Comparing what

they offer with the needs of your child is no

simple task.

Most parents probably start out by asking

other parents of their own nationality which

school they have chosen and why. Then they

find out they have chosen different schools

and for different reasons and you are back

to square one. There is probably no way

around making your own inquiry into each

available option.

LOCAL VS INTERNATIONAL

First choice is if you are looking for a local

school or an international school? In most

countries in Asia, a local school is an option

- although certainly a more challenging

option for your child. If you child is mixed

European - Asian this may, however, not

be so frightening a prospect. And mostly it

will have an economic silver lining as local

private schools are less costly compared to

international schools.

However, physical punishment has not

been abolished in the Thai school systems,

so take this into consideration. Talk to

the school how they administer physical

punishment and ask if they can make

an exception for your child if you are not

comfortable with this.

If you go for the International school,

consider that international students grow up

and evolve in a cultural environment that is

vastly different to that of your own. Known

as Third Culture Kids (TCKs), they often

develop a very different attitude to many

Copyright : pat138241/123RF

issues compared to their former friends

back home. If you are uncomfortable with

this prospect you may prefer to look into

the option of choosing a local school or a

boarding school back home.

Once this is said, most European families

prefer the international option. Excellent

examples are American School Bangkok,

Bangkok Patana School, Brighton College

International School Bangkok, Broomsgrove

International School, Harrow International

School, KIS International School, Magic

years, Modern Montessori, NIST International

School or St. Andrews International School.

In Chiang Mai there is the Varee Chiangmai

School. Svenska Skolan have schools in Koh

Lanta, Huay Yang, Hua Hin and Phuket.




After 7th. or 9th grade other options like

one of the excellent boarding schools back

home in Scandinavia or out here in Asia may

be considered.

For most European children, classes in

the mother tongue are available. For example

the Danish community recently established a

solution whereby a Danish teacher can visit

and teach Danish at a number of schools

in the Bangkok area. For most nationalities,

classes via the Internet is today also an

option in particular if you are living outside

Bangkok.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS

To select the best school for your child, first

you should download and print brochures

and other material from the website of the

different schools and start looking through it.

Here are a few suggestions to help you

make up your mind:

First: How far away is the school from your

home?

Before spending time looking through school

courses, you need to make sure the school

is not too far away. Bear in mind that in most

big cities, it is the traveling time between your

home and the school that matters. How long

will it take for your child to get to school and

home afterwards? How will your child be

going there?

Especially in cities like Bangkok, you will

be challenged by some of the heaviest rush

hour traffic in the world.

Second: What reputation does the school

have?

Talk to people as much as possible. This is

where your first intuition comes handy. Don’t

listen to opinions expressed by people who

have no children at the school themselves

- parents are quick to seek confirmation of

their own choice by adopting opinions about

the competing schools.

The age of the school is no sure

indication either. Nothing guarantees that

the reputation of a hundred year old school

is better than a one year old school.

Third: How are the courses at the school?

The school’s courses and programs will most

likely be listed in the school’s information




packages. They will talk about British

Curriculum and American Curriculum and

- what most Scandinavians these days go

for - the IB curriculum.

This is important as you will most likely

have to relocate again in a few years.

Find out if the native language and culture

of your child is taught as optional learning. It

is important for your child to keep his or her

ties to your cultural background. It is also

important for you.

Ask questions about the tests and exams

which are offered and used as evaluation

method. If your child is already a secondary

school student, ask how well the graduating

students do in getting accepted into major

universities both in your current country,

back home and elsewhere overseas.

Fourth: What other activities can the school

offer your child?

Besides the fundamental course works,

what kind of arts, sports, community service

does the school offer? Are there proper

facilities to support those activities?

It seems that schools almost compete

with each other when it comes to sports,

thus many schools will have gymnasiums

and sport complexes, which are either new

or re-modelled. But maybe your child is more

into other activities - computer programming,

performing arts?

Most schools offer after-school/weekend

programs as well as field trips and community

services. You should be able to freely pick

the activities that best suit your child.

Fifth: Does the school have qualified

personnel?

This is not as obvious as you may think. The

school is most likely private and qualifications

for employment are not as strict as for schools

back home. What educational degree do they

hold? How long have they been teaching at

the school? What kind of teaching methods

do they prefer? Are they involved in planning

and evaluating the curriculum? Will they

be giving special attention to each child’s

problems or personal needs?

Sixth: What do the current students think

of the school?

If it’s possible, talk to some of the existing

students. Are they happy there? Do they




look motivated to learn? How will the

school help your child get started? Do they

assign so-called “buddies” (another student

from the same country) for new students?

Most schools have established student

organizations to provide service to students

at a personal level. Here, students can get

help about studying, working, individual

needs and so on.

Seventh: How is the relationship between

the school and the parents?

You will obviously not be able to monitor your

child in school. The teacher will have to be

your eyes and ears. You must be notified of

your child’s functionality regardless of grade,

and regardless of whether it includes bad

behaviour or progress your child has made.

Make sure that you can get informed as

often as possible. You may join a parents’

volunteer program if available. Some schools

may offer activities for the whole family as

well.

WATCH YOUR CHILD!

Never mind how diligent you do your

homework - and maybe the above list is a bit

excessive - you will never be able to foresee

if your child will thrive at the school.

It is therefore important that you make a

habit of spending more time than you used

to at home talking to your child about how

school was today. What they did in class,

and what they did outside. Let her or him tell

about their new friends. Listen.

All may initially sound fine and

uncomplicated, but that may just be a

honeymoon period. This is the most important

step of them all. If your child develops in any

way you find disturbing or starts showing

signs of discomfort going to school, you

should think twice before you tell your child

that “this is life - it is not always pleasant!”

A change of school at the right time

might be the single most important decision

to make to put the future of your child on the

right track!




PICKING A PRESCHOOL

When it comes to picking a pre-school,

location near the home is mostly the top

priority. But it could certainly help if you

familiarize yourself with the different terms

and philosophies in the field.

Cutting through the many terms, there

are generally two overall approaches. One

os play-based - the other is academical.

Within those philosophies are several more

specific approaches, such as Montessori.

Understanding the different terms will help

you find the program that suits your child’s

needs.

In a play-based program, children

choose activities based on their current

interests. The term “play-based” is often

interchanged with “child-centered,” which

could be used to describe the majority of

available preschool programs. The playbased

classroom is broken up into sections,

such as a home or kitchen, science area,

water table, reading nook, space with blocks

and other toys, or other areas. Teachers

encourage the kids to play, facilitating social

skills along the way.

Alternatively, there are academic

programs, considered didactic, “teacherdirected,”

“teacher-managed.” In these

classrooms, teachers lead the children in a

more structured way, planning the activities,

then guiding the children in doing them.

This design is aimed at preparing kids for

the kindergarten setting. For the most part,

classroom time is devoted to learning letters

and sounds, distinguishing shapes and

colors, telling time, and other skills.

If you worry that a play-based classroom

is too chaotic and your child would not thrive



in it, you can easily find a more structured

setting. The important thing to remember is

that preschool should not look like elementary

school. It should be organized so there

is a plan and routine for the day.

But at the same time, it should

not be strict in the sense that

kids are spending five minutes

at this, ten minutes at this, with

no exception.

Whether you opt for a playbased

or more academic setting,

you are choosing to prepare

your child for kindergarten and

later schooling. While play-based

approaches may work for most types

of children, any quality preschool

program can set the foundation for the

transition to kindergarten and beyond.

What matters is that your child is learning

from adults who engage and stimulate

intellectual curiosity while imparting social

skills.

In an article on the website www.

pbs.org, author Laura Lewis Brown

quotes Dr. Robert Pianta, dean of the

Curry School of Education at the

University of Virginia for explaining

what brings joy to the pre-school

teachers:

“Most kindergarten teachers

will tell you what they really value

is the opportunity to teach kids

when they show up at school

prepared and ready to learn,” he

explains.

“It’s not so much that teachers

value that the kindergartner can

read or write. They value that the

children enjoy learning, have a set

of experiences that got them used

to a classroom setting, and know how to

engage adults and kids in another setting.”




PULLING YOUR CHILD OUT OF

THE SCHOOL

This is the disaster scenario: What if you

picked the wrong school for your child? Is it

better to leave the child where he or she is,

or should you pull the child right away and

switch schools in mid-term?

On the Australian website www.

essentialkids.com.au, Child Psychologist

Sally-Anne McCormack says that in her

opinion parents should in the first instance

try to let the child stay at the school to show

your child how to deal with difficult issues,

and get external help for the child.

“If the child is anxious at the next school,

then they may generalise and fear all schools.

When we ‘flee’ anxiety-provoking situations,

it confirms to us that the situation is meant

to be feared. A parent needs to be certain as

to whether the issue is with the child or with

the environment before making a decision.”

The schools willingness to discuss the

problem is essential. A school’s lack of

understanding and support will increase the

problem, leaving you to deal with a distressed

child who is being largely ignored by the staff.

Not doing anything to help is only making

matters worse, although you know that if

you pull your child he or she will potentially

end up with the same problems in a new

environment.

Though changing schools may seem

like the obvious solution, the struggle many

parents face is the potential emotional

damage that this may do to their child. If the

child has difficulty dealing with change - the

thought of changing schools will certainly

cause more anxiety. There is always the fear

of having the same problems at the new

school, or worse problems.

Child Psychologist Sally-Anne

McCormack modifies her advise above,

to stay at the school and seek help, by

admitting that when there is no possibility of

a resolution then you should of course move

your child to another school.

“It is not ‘giving up’, it is the acceptance

of an unworkable situation,” she says.

Sally-Anne suggests that when looking

for a new school, parents should visit and

make sure that the new school understands

why you are moving. Maybe even more

important than normally, you have to evaluate

the new school carefully - neither you nor

your child can afford another mistake. In

particular she advises on visiting the new

school during recess or lunchtime.

“We see the children in their classrooms

which gives a sense of how the classes are

managed, and then at play periods we see

the personalities of the students and get a

sense of the community.” Sally-Anne also

advises parents to ask a lot of questions that

are non-directive and open. For example,

rather than asking “do you cater for …?”,

ask “what types of learning styles do you

best cater for?”

The key is assessing the school that

best caters to the individual needs of your

child, but the challenge is that these needs

may not be obvious until after they have

started school. Promises can be made, but

when schools do not follow through, it can

affect a child’s wellbeing and ability to learn.

While school policies and ethos can seem

great on paper, researching how these are

implemented is essential, as Sally-Anne says

“sadly in some schools these are just ‘dustcatching’

documents”.

BOARDING SCHOOL BENEFITS

The expat lifestyle provides many practical

reasons for sending children to boarding

school, but the advantages of a boarding

experience can go far beyond that.

A boarding school is a school where the

students live because their parents want

them to obtain the special benefits of this

kind of education or because they cannot

live at home and attend a local school

because of their parents assignment to a

location without a proper school or because

of problems between the parents.

Many parents also choose to send their

children back home when they reach the age

of 12 years or older to ensure that they retain

their Nordic roots.

Although the distance and the

separation from family and loved ones can

take its toll on both the child and its

parents, sending children to boarding

school in their home country remains a

popular choice for expats.

The benefits of attending boarding

school are many. Gaining a better

understanding of roots and cultures, desires

for academic achievements, a change of

scenery, or being bored with life abroad are

just some of them.

Whatever the reason, the boarding

school experience has many advantages,

like small class sizes, diverse curricula,

and individual attention from teachers

and advisers.

KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER

• At a boarding school there will always be

an adult and mature persons to talk to.

There will always be at least one adult

at the boarding school who is ultimately

responsible for each single student.

There are regular contact persons whom

parents, other family members, social

workers or if needed special advisors

can interact with.

• Attending a boarding school will give the

student a fresh start. The teachers and

house masters at the boarding school

will make sure that the students attend to

their classes every day, that they receive

the education they need, that they take

part in healthy activities after school and

learn how to socialize with other children

their own age.

• After school, life at the boarding school is

the perfect frame for healthy activities with

friends.

• Often part of what boarding schools offer

is also a plan of action for each individual

student, attention to special individual

educational needs or tutoring in a close

cooperation with the student and his/her

parents.

FOCUSED ATTENTION 24/7

Students at boarding schools are usually

taught in smaller classes, which is not always

possible in regular schools. The fact that

students as well as teachers live on campus

also allows for more focused attention on the

individual student, and he or she will be able

to become absorbed in different subjects

and receive the help they need along

the way.

One of the unique qualities of

attending a boarding school is the

complete integration between the life

of the student in class and the life of

he student after class. This seamless

transition in the everyday life of the

boarding school student from one

sphere to the other gives a maximum

cohesion that ordinary day schools

will never be able to match no matter

how extensive an extra curricular

programme they might establish.

Boarding schools are sometimes

referred to as “intentional communities”

because the faculty and staff of

boarding schools work very hard to

create an environment for students

which is safe, academically

challenging, active, and fun. During

the academic year, boarding

schools become extended families

where teachers and students live and learn

together. The 24-hour community of a

boarding school environment allows the

faculty to seize every teachable moment

whether in the classroom, on the playing

field, or in the dormitory.

ADAPTING TO A CHANGING

WORLD

Proponents also claim that because they

are constantly surrounded by people their

own age, students will acquire the skills to

become independent, critical thinkers at

an early age. They learn how to deal with

their problems in a mature and responsible

way, and they will develop the ability to

quickly adapt to new surroundings and

environments.

Being apart from parents and other

loved ones also gives the students a strong



sense of self, supporters say. They learn to

trust and believe in themselves as they work

through challenges and hardship on their

own without the physical support of their

parents nearby.

The educational standards and

curriculum at boarding schools are

usually based on the standards set for

the comprehensive national educational

system. In most cases these standards are

also well exceeded.

Students are encouraged to study more

than normally because they are constantly

in an academic environment, and they are

inspired to do so by their peers. Because

of this, people who have attended boarding

school are, on average, better prepared

for future challenges such as college and

university.

FRIENDS FOR LIFE

At most boarding schools, there is a strong

feeling of unity and the community on

campus is often very strong, proponents

claim. Although the students receive a lot of

help and support from their teachers, they

very much rely on themselves and the other

students.

As everyone is in the same boat in a

very intense environment where studying

and being away from home are some of

the key words, the students at boarding

schools often form very strong bonds of

loyalty and trust with their fellow boarders.

After a boarding experience, many find that

the friendships they have made last a lifetime.

NOT FOR EVERYONE

Boarding school provides you with skills

that will be benefit you throughout life.

However, it is important to keep in mind that

boarding is not for everyone. For the robust

child, the experience will prepare him or

her for an ambitious life and it teaches the

students to survive on their own when things

get rough.

If the students has a need to feel

secure and comfortable in order to thrive, a

boarding school may not always be able to

provide that kind of environment. Some will

like it while others will not.

Having selected a boarding school for

their child, parents should observe their child

maybe even closer than before the move in

order to detect early on any signs that may

indicate if their decision to go for a boarding

school was wrong - or if the chosen school

was not the right choice for their child.

CHOOSING THE SCHOOL

Being no longer limited by the nearest

school, choosing the best school becomes

in a way easier. You can focus on what you

find most important - and the school does

not even have to be back in your Nordic

home. In Thailand, Harrow International

School near Bangkok is an excellent schools

with boarding option.

In Denmark, there is Stenhus Kostskole &

Gymnasium, known for its pioneering efforts

in offering classes in Chinese, and Nyborg

Gymnasium & Kostskole, which has become

the second largest public boarding school in

Denmark.



Health care in Thailand

Medical services in Thailand are

generally praised by most foreigners

living here as of high standard

and relatively affordable. In all the major

tourist destinations, Thailand’s health care

system provides both public and private

hospitals or clinics staffed by well-trained

doctors and nurses. An ambulance can be

summoned from a private hospital in the

case of an emergency.

In Bangkok, Bumrungrad Hospital is

generally considered as a provider of top

quality medical treatment for foreigners and

with a service standard that may indeed

make your hospital stay a great pleasure.

Of course, you must have a valid health

insurance or else it may be incredibly

expensive. Accidents happen – and they

can happen in the strangest places at

the strangest times, like on the side of a

mountain in Krabi or in an alley in Bangkok

at 3am. Travel insurance can cover you for all

sorts of mishaps during your travel.

Warning: A typical trap is that visitors

forget to extend their insurance, when they

extend their stay. Do not let that happen to

you!

Currently, there is a campaign for

allowing Swedish residents in Thailand to

be covered by an extension of their Swedish

healthcare insurance from back home.

However, it has not yet been approved.

Talking of precautions, a word about

vaccinations should be included. Although

vaccinations are recommended by the

authorities in your home country. it is worth

a thought that most people living in Thailand

do not have these expensive vaccinations.

If you’re planning on trekking or passing

through the more remote areas then check

out the list of recommended vaccinations

for visits to Thailand. Otherwise, consider

not taking them.

MEDICAL TOURISM

Thailand has over the past two decades

emerged as a regional leader in what has

been called Medical Tourism. It covers

the full spectrum from expecting mothers

traveling from Laos or Cambodia to give

birth in Bangkok to major dental works

and elaborate beautification operations like

reducing belly fat and enlargement of - or


Health care in Thailand

creation of - female breasts.

Unlike most Western countries, the cost

of private medical treatment is cost effective.

Treatments are usually cheaper than what it

would be back home, plus you do not need

to wait on long lists of other patients. One

can just about get the procedure done “on

arrival” and recover in some of Thailand’s

beach resorts - a pretty good offer to beat.

High marks are usually given Thai

hospitals from embassies of many countries.

Are there risks involved? Yes but this is true

for any country.

First there are many countries that have

different diseases. Second there may not be

a great avenue (if any) to register complaints.

There are more of course; but you have your

own worries and cares. Better you research

your own.

HEALTH CARE FOR THAIS

For Thai people, Thailand currently has three

major healthcare schemes: The universal

healthcare scheme, the health-benefit part

of the social-security scheme, and the

healthcare programme for civil servants and

their family members.

The first programme covers about 48

million people, with per-head cost averaging

2,755 THB. In 2011, the scheme spent

101.057 billion THB on its members.

The second programme covers 9.4 million

subscribers, with per-head expenditure of

2,504 THB, and it spent 24.476 billion THB

in 2011.

The third scheme takes care of some

5 million civil servants and their families,

with per-head expenditure at 14,123 THB

per month. It spent t61.8 billion THB on its

members in 2011.

According to Dueanden Nikhomborirak,

director of economic system management at

the Thailand Development Research Institute

(TDRI), members of the social-security

scheme seem to get the least medical

benefits even though they make monthly

contributions to the programme. Many

health activists and consumer-protection

advocates say that the benefits are less than

even what is offered by the completely free

universal healthcare system.


Don’t break the law

All the Nordic countries as well as

many other foreign countries have

a bilateral agreement with Thailand

allowing prisoners to be transferred to

their home countries after serving a certain

amount of years, depending on the length

of penalty the prisoner has been given. But

despite the bilateral agreement, prisoners

should not expect to get out if they have a

fine and cannot pay it.

Light is always shining brightly in the

hundreds of prisons in Thailand. Simply

because fights and assaults happen so

frequently that it is too dangerous to even

turn the light off. Even though it is a violation

against human rights.

In general, human rights are not the

biggest focus point in Thai prisons. People

are cramped up in overcrowded cells, some

places being forced to unwillingly spoon

with strangers. Contact with friends and

relatives means sitting on opposition sites of

a ditch, five or ten meter apart, and yelling

to each other because the phones are often

broken and everyone is trying to yell louder

than all the others who are also yelling to

speak with their loved ones.

In some of the prisons, prisoners explain


that food consists of a bowl of rice and some

soup, three times a day. Once a week five

chickens are split between approximately

500 inmates. They get barely any meat, no

vegetables, no fruit. Just rice and water.

These are the conditions in the prisons

of Thailand. Welcome!

AGREEMENT DOES NOT GIVE

THE RIGHT TO TRANSFER BACK

HOME

According to bilateral agreements between

Thailand and the Nordic countries, an

imprisoned person in Thailand can request

a transfer to a Danish prison after serving

four years of a time limited sentence in

Thailand. Receiving lifetime, prisoners will

have to wait eight years to be able to ask

for transfer.

Being transferred back home not only

lets you be closer to friends and family,

it entails a huge improvement in living

conditions too.

Four years in a Thai prison can be worse

than any form of imprisonment you could

experience in Denmark. But just because

there is an agreement between Thailand

and Denmark, prisoners are not guaranteed

to automatically be transferred back to

Denmark after four or eight years.

First of all, it takes a lot of time consuming

paperwork. The prisoners will also need to

have their case brought for a Danish judge.

However, the Thai authorities will have to

accept the judgement in absentia given to

the prisoner as reasonable.

“In the end, it is the Thai authorities that

make the decision. When the crime has

taken place on Thai grounds, it is Thailand

that gets the last call. The Danish authorities

do not have a say in that,” says Birgit S.

Kondrup-Palmqvist, Consul at the Embassy

of Denmark in Bangkok.

Birgit S. Kondrup-Palmqvist, Consul at

the Embassy of Denmark in Bangkok.

LESS THAN A SQUARE METER

According to statistics published by the

International Federation of Human Rights,

the prison occupancy rate in Thailand is

224 percent.

Imagine sharing a cell with between

30 and 100 people and having just one

single square meter of space to you. That

is approximately how much allocated floor

space the average person in a Thai prison

has got. In some prisons the occupancy

rate even passes 300 or 400 percent.

Prisoners will typically sit inside the

overcrowded cells for 16 hours every day.

And for the eight hours left, they will sit on

the ground in a just as overcrowded yard.

There is not much to do for prisoners

serving time in Thailand. No opportunity to

work out, no books, no activities at all. Just

one television in a corner running in Thai, a

language most of the foreigners does not

understand.



NO MONEY, NO TRANSFER

A prisoner’s life can go on like that for a very

long time if they have received a fine along

with their penalty which they are not able

to pay. The way the Thai prison system is

build, even a four year sentence for a mild

crime can turn into a fate of spending the

rest of your life behind bars.

It has not always been this way. It

was just two years ago that this law was

implemented. Although based on a Thai

person, the law also applies to foreigners

imprisoned in Thailand.

When committing a crime and receiving

a penalty, it often means spending time

behind bars and receiving a fine. The fine

can be anything from half a million to sixteen

million Thai baht, which is a lot of money for

someone who is imprisoned and unable to

earn any kind of money. It is a lot of money

even for relatives to help the prisoner pay.

But if the prisoner hopes to get out, or even

being transferred to his home country, he

must pay up.

Having spent four years in a Thai prison

does not get you anywhere as long as there

is still a fine to pay off. With an unpaid fine,

prisoners will not be allowed to transfer

to a prison in their home country, nor will

they be released at all until the last baht

has been paid. That is the way things have

worked since the laws were changed two

years ago.

Birgit S. Kondrup-Palmqvist from the

Danish Embassy explains that there are

prisoners who had nearly served their four

years and were ready for a transfer as the

new law was implemented. As they were

so close to serving the rest of their penalty

in a much nicer place and closer to their

relatives, they were suddenly denied transfer

because of their unpaid fines. Earlier, a

Royal pardon allowed these prisoners to be

transferred or released, but suddenly not

anymore.



WORKING GROUP TO CHANGE

RULES

Along with people from the EU, Canada,

United Kingdom and Nordic countries,

Birgit S. Kondrup-Palmqvist has started a

working group to change this.

Arguing that it is a law based upon a

Thai person and not a foreigner, who does

not have the same opportunities as a Thai

to get the money together by selling his car

or house, she hopes to be able to make

a change and get more prisoners back to

their home countries.

Furthermore, in the Danish laws, fines

are not part of the punishment when it

comes to drug crime and thereby the Thai

judgement cannot be converted directly

into a Danish judgement. This should be

considered when the Thai Committee for

Transferring of Foreign prisoners decides

on the individual cases.

Starting the working group on 10

January 2017, Birgit S. Kondrup-Palmqvist

is hoping to see a change of the Thai ruling

before the autumn of 2017.

“It is in fact better for someone to

receive lifetime in jail, than receiving a

penalty with a fine they cannot pay, but only

in connection with talking of the possibility

of being transferred to your home country,

of course. The best is always to stay out of

trouble,” she says.

“With a lifetime penalty the prisoner

might be transferred after eight years and

there is no fine to be paid. But with a time

limited sentence with a fine, you will only get

out once the fine is paid.”

Expat Calendar

The typical expat year in Thailand starts

in September when people are “back

after the summer”. It ends in June

when the “go back for the summer”. Most

expats from Europe follow roughly this rythm

and enjoy a long summer vacation back

home before coming back for a long straight

period of work during autumn, winter and

spring.

The international schools follow the expat

summer break rythm while local Thai schools

follow the Thai calendar dating back to King

Rama 6. According to that, a new year starts

on the 1st of April. So the students in a Thai

school have year end exams in March and

then go on a break until the school opens

again in May.

The traditional expat lifestyle is a bit

colonial and more and more foreigners - often

younger people employed in Thailand on

local contracts - tend to break away from it

and follow instead the Thai year with the main

vacation around Songkran in April.

AUTUMN IN THAILAND

Back after the summer, in September, you

can look forward to a straight ten months

in Thailand. During that time, a wide variety

of events are being organized and offered

by the social associations and the various

business associations.

One of the highlights in the autumn

is the Crayfish Party organized by the

Scandinavian Society Siam, usually the last

Saturday in September or the first Saturday

in October. SWEA and DWN has usually also

a “welcome back” event. The same goes for

the Scandinavian Expats in Pattaya and the

Scandinavian associations in Hua Hin.

Throughout the autumn and the following

spring, the Norwegian Church in Pattaya

keep up an impressive number of well visited

community events including of course the

Sunday Christ services. The same is to a

lesser extend the case for the Church of

Sweden in Bangkok and Phuket

On 24 December, Christmas Eve, many

Scandinavians in Bangkok join the Nordic

service in Christ Church with the gospel read

in all four home languages - plus sometimes

even in Icelandic, too.

Leading up to Christmas, all the four

Nordic Chambers have usually held wet and

rowdy Christmas lunches for their members -

a success that seems to never stop growing

in participation.

SPRING IN THAILAND

Spring in Thailand can be an extremely hot

season until the Songkran water festival,

when the monsoon changes and we get rain

and cooler winds blown down from China.

For the golfers, Amundsen’s Cup usually

in January is a must. For the Norwegians,

the annual Seafood Under the Stars-dinner is

another highlight some weeks later.

The spring is also the season for all the

Annual General Meetings with selection of

new members to head the different boards of

directors, SWEA, TSCC and DTCC have their

meetings in March, so does the the Nordic

associations in Hua HIn, SSS hold their event

in late April. The Thai-Finnish Chamber of

Commerce - the first of the Nordic bussiness

associations - hold their AGM in August.

Many people feel that time goes faster in

Thailand than back home. That is of course

nonsense, but suddenly it is indeed June

again and another year has gone. Time to go

“back for the summer”.

The calendar on scandasia.com gives

the most comprehensive overview Nordic

events. Other communities have similar

online communities, where you can also

subscribe to emails and join in chats. Much is

also organised using the services for groups

offered on Facebook.
