Welcome

This book is intended as a help for both

newcomers and longer staying expats

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. Joining a class in Thai

language is also an excellent way of meeting

other newcomers.

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 with contact

details to Nordic companies in Thailand and

other companies offering useful services for

expats in Thailand.

This booklet is brought to you by ScandAsia -

the only magazine that serves all Scandinavian

expatriates from Denmark, Sweden, Norway

and Finland living in Thailand and elsewhere

in South East Asia. On www.scandasia.com

you can sign up for a email newsletter that will

give you a weekly update of most important

news. Like this book, the magazine is free -

financed by advertisements only.

One interest that all expats in Thailand

share is the wish to explore and experience

this wonderful country. Despite all the bad

news that you may read, the fact is that the

Thai people remain extraordinarily friendly

towards foreigners. Just remember that you

are a guest and should behave accordingly. I

usually tell my friends and visitors from abroad

that they are no longer just themselves. They

represent their fellow countrymen and should

leave a lasting impression among your Thai

hosts, that people from your country are

kind, understanding and open to see things

in a different light.

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. You

can get that in any shop of the three main

providers: True, Dtac or AIS. You will often

find them in department stores. You may

need help from a local with setting up your

phone so you can read your emails and surf

websites and applications online, but mostly

it works automatically

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!

Currently, True is the largest regular

internet provider in the country. Other ADSL

companies are AIS, DTAC, or 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 “aircards”.

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 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 pronounciation 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 free:

thai-language.com - probably the most

comprehensive website about the language,

thai2english.com - Thai-English/English-

Thai dictionary with transcription, sealang.

net/thai/ - Thai-English dictionary with

transcription, and many, many more.

There are are also several handheld

devices specifically developed to translate

from Thai to English and from English to Thai,

often with sound option. You will find them in

the electronic department of any department

store.

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.

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 and southern India.

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.

For residents in Pattaya, there is a

Norwegian newspaper and a Nordic

magazine apart from the local pattayapeople.com

website.

The local news service in English is very

good:

The Basics


Visa regulations

VISA REGULATIONS

If you plan to stay more than 3 months in

Thailand you should apply for a visa at your

local Thai embassy or consulate. 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

non-im ED (Education) visa and renew this

visa in Thailand without having to leave the

country to apply for extension. You can also

start by coming to Thailand and then enroll

the course here 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.


Visa regulations

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.

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. 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.

Before you buy a home, always consider

renting a property in Thailand when you retire

as a start.

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 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 certain of your

commitment level for purchase is better.

There are several types of accommodation

in Thailand including high-rise

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.

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.


Setting up a home

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

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 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 Thailanguage

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

Setting up a home

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.

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


Setting up a home

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.

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. A company that is

an expert in making built in clossets and

cabinets as well as other home decoration

solutuions is the Swedish owned company

The Cabinet.

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 with

some hardware and building material. There

are a large number of local stores nationwide,

as well as larger stores with conveniently

located store branches around the country

such as HomeWorks and Homepro. You

will find a variety of hardware, do-it-yourself


Setting up a home

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 localised 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.

If you don’t bring anything with you

from your previous home, there are mega

stores all over Thailand around such as Index

Living Mall, Central Department Store, IKEA,

Powerbuy, Koncept and Homepro.

FACILITIES

Satellite TV

The biggest satellite TV provider is True

Visions UBC. 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 programmes are available in different

packages of varying costs depending on

the channels chosen by the subscriber. A

monthly programme guide will be sent to the

subscriber’s home address. True Visions and

many other independent companies operate

cable TV channels in Thailand in a variety of

languages.

To watch Scandinavian TV programmes,

you don’t need a satellite. Swedish SVT

World is a legal IPTV provider that connects

you over the Internet with the TV stations

back 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. True branched out providing

broadband services with their True Move

service as well so you can have Internet

at home through your International TV

provider. TOT, Cat Internet and TT&T are

other prominent internet service providers.

For wireless connections, apart from local

hotspots, it is also possible to get monthly


Setting up a home

contracts or prepaid cards that include Wi-

Fi access from your mobile phone or ADSL

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

“pigeon holes” 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

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 certain

occupations that are protected under the

Foreign Business Act of 1999. Those include

agriculture, manual labour, forestry, architecture,

product manufacturing, hairdressing,

and certain professions such as law and

accountancy. If caught working in these jobs

or listed professions, the person could face

criminal charges, and may be imprisoned for

up to five years and/or pay a fine of up to

THB 100,000.

You may question situations in which

a work permit is absolutely necessary. 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.

GETTING A WORK PERMIT

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.

The normal procedure to gain a work

permit after arrival 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.

When you arrive back in Thailand with

that, 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 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 reentrance 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 specialised the skills,

especially in the fields that are in higher

demand, the better the 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

specialised 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 type and activity of businesses that


Working in Thailand

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.

Copyright: alexskopje/123RF

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

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.

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

Thailand is a more affordable place to

live compared to 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 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

a high cost of more than THB 70,000. There

are however alternatives to this. Renting a

townhouse in the suburb of Bangkok for

8000 THB per month 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 visiting

a bar once or twice a week would probably

come up to THB 25,000 - 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 bank fee of 150 THB 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.

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 earned saving.

You should instead contact yourself

some of the private banking institutions that

serve other Scandinavians living in Asia like

which is located in Gibraltar, but likewise

often visits their clients in Thailand.

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 assessable income:

- 40% deduction for normal wages

income and copyright income

mentioned, but maximum is 60,000

THB;

- 10 to 30% deduction for income fom

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 pay 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 nonresident,

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

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 you

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.

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, Harrow

International School, KIS International School,

Magic years, NIST International School or St.

Andrews International School. In Chiangmai

there is the Varee Chiangmai School. [line

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

back home in Scandinavia or out here in Asia

may be considered - see the next chapter.

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 an option 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 to look 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.

&

Curtin University

Monash University

University of Queensland

University of Sydney



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 remodeled. 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

behavior 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 play-based 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.


At Stenhus High School you can either attend Pre-IB in English

or take the Danish STX og HF exam.

Stenhus High School is one of the largest high schools in Denmark offering

a big variety of subjects and extracurricular activities.

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.

International

Baccalaureate

- an alternative to the

Danish ‘Studentereksamen’

• internationally recognized

• gives admission to universities

all over the world

• taught in English

You can stay at Nyborg

Gymnasium’s boarding school.

Destination

Koh Chang

Koh Chang is the second largest

island of Thailand. It is located 330

km east of Bangkok. This rather

remote location has prevented the island

from being the victim of the fast exploitation

that has destroyed some of the original

charm of islands like Samui.

Koh Chang offers accommodation from

dirt cheap huts at 3000 baht per month

to extreme luxury at over 19.000 baht per

night. A great luxury resort at an affordable

price is The Emerald Cove Koh Chang. It is

located on Klong Prao Beach with rooms

starting at below 3.000 baht per night.

If you are an expat, the best way to go

there is by taking bus number 999 from

Ekamai bus terminal which will take you

straight to the ferry to Koh Chang in Trat

for less than 300 thb. If you are arriving by

plane, continue on a domestic flight to Trat

which takes less than an hour. Airport to

ferry transportation takes 15 minutes. The

ferry ride takes 40 minutes. When you land

on the island, transportation time down the

west coast, where most of the resorts are

located, depends on how far down you go,

but estimate half an hour.

The first beach you arrive at is the


Destination

crowded White Sands Beach where you

even find a “Little Pattaya” with 20 beer

bars. The next is the more quiet Klong Prao

Beach where The Emerald Cove Koh Chang

offers dinners on the beach in the sunset.

Very romantic, indeed. Further down south

you will find the Lonely Beach which is

where the backpackers have beach parties

every night.

Activities on Koh Chang are linked to

the nature. From Klong Prao Beach you can

rent a kayak or canoe and paddle out to the

islands Koh Yuak and Koh Pli that are great

for snorkeling. Other popular day trip is to

the treetop zipline or the elephant camp

Baan Kwaan Chang. But why not take a

diving certificate now that you are there?

Resist the temptation to rent a motorcycle

or scooter. Too many have serious injuries

and it costs a fortune in medical expenses

if you survive.

High season is in the cool months of

November to February. In March temperature

rises but it is still mostly dry. From June to

October it is wet with an average of 365 mm

rain per month. It culminates in September

with up to 500 mm rain. In Scandinavia, an

average months has 60 mm rain.



Health care in Thailand

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

Medical services are praised by

most foreigners living in Thailand

as they are of a high standard and

relatively inexpensive. 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.

If you live in Bangkok, Bangkok Hospital

is generally considered the top hospital 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 - and actually

quite often even before you leave your home

country. Up to 25% of all insurance claims

are due to cancellation of travel!

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 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 in Thailand

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

Bt2,755.60. In 2011, the scheme spent

Bt101.057 billion on its members.

The second programme covers 9.4 million

subscribers, with per-head expenditure of

Bt2,504, and it spent Bt24.476 billion in

2011.

The third scheme takes care of some 5

million civil servants and their families, with

per-head expenditure at Bt14,123.01 per

month. It spent Bt61.8 billion 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.

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.
