Introduction
More than enough travel guides and websites about Thailand give
fantastic advice on hotels, sightseeing, nightlife and restaurants. If
you’ve already read such guides, you already know what kinds of clothes
you should bring and that the currency is in Baht. But for someone who
intends to live in Thailand, there are many questions, concerns and
needs not addressed in the travel guides. Many expat guides also cater
to foreign men who come to Thailand, emphasizing heavily on topics that
are of no relevance to foreign women.
From what to expect in an apartment to grocery stores that carry real
cheese and chocolate, this guide contains helpful up‐to‐date resources,
tips and web links especially tailored for a woman expecting to stay in
Thailand for an extended time. This guide is gender friendly, though;
there is no male bashing. As a matter of fact, the guys will also find
the topics addressed in this guidebook to be of great help, especially
the dads. In addition, I’ve included stories and anecdotes of my own
experience and the issues I faced living and working in Thailand.
Women of all ages come to live in Thailand. From young women just out of
college to seniors who retire or volunteer, you will encounter many of
us. While Thailand still has a reputation for being a “man’s paradise”
and indeed you will see that you are far, far outnumbered by western
men, the number of expat women living in Thailand has been on the
increase over the last 5‐7 years. You will not feel alone here!
Note about the author:
Thailand holds an element of exotic mystery with a culture and lifestyle vastly different from the West -- precisely the reasons I chose to live in Bangkok.
In March 2001 I quit my well-paying job in Silicon Valley after taking a TESOL course in San Francisco so I could teach English. I had a one-way ticket to Bangkok and an awaiting job interview with a local private school - no guarantees about anything upon arrival.
I got the job at a private bilingual school on the outskirts of Bangkok and an American colleague of mine took me under her wing and showed me the buses into the city, where to shop for groceries and that it was OK to eat the steamed chicken hanging by their necks in the food stalls at the outdoor market. I’m also adventurous and exploratory by nature, so I traveled extensively around Bangkok and all the rest of Thailand for that matter.
After a few years there, I met a wonderful Thai man nicknamed Golf. We had a whirlwind courtship and got married in a relatively short time. A year later our son Aidan came into the world and he was born in an International Bangkok hospital.
During my stay in Bangkok, my average days were extraordinary: wading in knee deep monsoon floods to get to work to feeding an elephant that came onto on the school campus. Every day was a day to remember and I’m happy to share some of those memories.
