Spider 0 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Sawassdee. Hello all. I have just joined this forum hoping that some of you here can give me advice on a few things. We are moving to South Thailand soon(September)We are planning to stay for a year. Is it easy to find a house for rent? We are interested in Nakhon Sithammarat and Trang provinces. I would appreaciate it if any of you who have a link to share regarding house rental. We are a family of 4. What's the rent for a 3 or 4 bedroom house in these provinces like?High speed internet access is important for us. Is it available there? We have 2 kids ages 5 and 7. We are planning to homeschool my 7 year old daughter and put her younger brother in a local Kindergarten. Does any of you know the procedure for enrolling a child(foreigner) in kindergarten there? What kind of kindy are available? My daughter is intersted in learning Thai classical dance. Does any of you have info on this? Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites

Houses are available but have never heard of any agents in Nakhon. 3-4 bedroom detached houses with garden run about 4-6000 a month. You should link up with one of the long term farang in town to guide you through the possibilities when you get here. Be careful, some people dealing without sound advice have been way over charged. Most areas in town have ADSL and some of the moo-baan also have it. With kids you are probably better of in one of the out of town moo-baans, much quieter and more child friendly. There are many private kindergarten in town. As for enrolling I doubt there will be any problems, just pay the fees. There is a 5 year old Anglo-Australian girl at my moo-baan going to one, no problems getting her in. As for classical Thai dancing, should not be a problem finding classes or teachers here, know a couple. Need any other info PM me. Sean Link to post Share on other sites

Spider, Maybe consider Nakon and/or Trang, but Patthalung in my opinion is a bit too much in the 'unrest' provinces. In both Nakohn and Trang it's also probably easier to integrate with other (few) westerners around, in case you're interested in that at all. Link to post Share on other sites

Tingnongnoi 170 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I wouldn't say Phattalung is anything like the unrest provinces. I have only ever found it to be very friendly, though also very quiet. Their is some beautiful scenery there too and it is so far relatively untouched tourism wise Link to post Share on other sites
