Life In The Bangkok Suburbs

Meet Peter, originally from Australia... he first moved to Thailand just over 10-years ago as part of a work opportunity and now lives in the Bangkok suburbs with his wife and cats. In this video, Peter shares why he chooses suburban life over the hustle and bustle of the city and will also go over the ins and outs of finding a good job in Thailand, the specifics of Thai Permanent Residency and Citizenship, what he and his wife do in their free time, his monthly cost of living, and perhaps most importantly... why he chooses Bangkok for life. This is Peter’s Thailand Blueprint.
