That is some serious savings!

Stay in Control of Your Finances

Contrary to popular belief, teaching English is NOT your only option!

Are you ready to live like a local in Thailand and save thousands of dollars a year?
A Word from the ExpatDen Team
When we first moved to Thailand a decade ago, we struggled to find a resource that would provide us with practical advice or direct links to anything that would actually save us time and money. Over the years, we threw away thousands of dollars on expenses and wasted hundreds of hours on tasks related to expat life in Thailand. Now we’ve taken everything we’ve discovered over the last decade and put it into these actionable premium subscription. They are designed to help you kick-start your life in Thailand—or improve your current life as an expat.
ExpatDen Team
This is Why We’ve Put Together this Actionable Kit!

I subscribed to ExpatDen premium subscription because I will move to Bangkok soon. Even though I was reading a lot on other websites, the subscription is actually the best and most helpful Thailand resource on the web. Karsten and his team wrote very detailed reports that show the pros and cons and highlights of every single subject. It is perfect for expats planning to work and stay in Thailand. Starting with visa info, legal affairs, accommodation and work, it also illustrates rare topics like bringing your pet to Thailand, learning Thai language, or sending your kids to international schools. I’m sure every expat will find the info very useful. A must have!
Dr. Marco Mollwitz, Consultant for General Occupational Medicine

ExpatDen Premium is my go-to resource when it comes to reliable, in-depth information on any expat matter in Thailand.
Stefan Maescher, a German expat in Thailand

Even after having been an expat in Bangkok for 10+ years, I find ExpatDen Premium very helpful. I constantly refer interested friends and acquaintances to it when they ask for information about living or fixing something in Thailand. It is easy to navigate, the information is trustworthy and easily digestible. Would recommend it to both people intending to move abroad, newbies and people who have already been in the country for years.
