When is the best time to move to Thailand with children?

Thats great. Hopefully, those forums will help you connect with other expat parents who have experienced similar challenges. 

I've also posted shared your question on our Facebook and Twitter pages so I hope we'll get some responses there as well. 

Do you have any further questions regarding relocating to Thailand?

Hi Tamcoe,

So the move to Thailand will be a pretty big change for them. 

Did you find the article useful? Have you joined any expat forums and connected with others living in Chang Mai?

Hi Shantalie Yes thank you. The article was very helpful. I have joined expat groups to get a feel of what to expect. Thanks Tamcoe

Hi Tamcoe,

The prospect of moving overseas can be both exciting and daunting for children. I wouldn't say there is ever a best time. When they are young, it will obviously have less impact on their education but then when they are older they'll be able to appreciate the experience more.

Ultimatley, it will be a decision that you'll have to make together with your son. Obviously, his education will be a prioraty and you'll have to look at international schooling options which'll offer the least distruption to his studies. International school fees in Thailand are very high and your best choice of options will be in Bangkok.

We have an excellent article here that I think you'll find useful : Preparing your kids for living abroad. 

Have either of your kids every lived abroad before? Are they used to travelling and experiencing new cultures?

Hi Shantalie Thank you for your response. I have been doing some extensive research and readings on moving abroad with children. I have also been researching the international schools best suited for my children. None of them have travelled abroad so this would be their first experience. Thanks again Tamcoe

Hello, I am planning to move with my children, I am a little afraid to, have you ever regret ? thanks

Hi there.

 

I have just read your post and am wondering what plans did you make or what educational prospects were available for your eldest child as I am in a similar situation.
