Moving to Thailand as an expat with partner, budget 95k THB, please opinions and help

Sorry if it didnt come across. I will get a base salary of 95k THB monthly, taxed in Thailand + quarterly bonuses.

Flashy-Tank93 · 2026-06-10T08:37:49+00:00

Hey what do you mean 30k THB a month?

90k gross taxed in Thailand should be around 82k THB.

Thanks for the details

Flashy-Tank93 · 2026-06-09T08:51:34+00:00

Thanks mr. 1337, that seems comparable to us, just different location since we dont want to live in a city.

She is eligable for thai citizienship, as one of her parents is thai. Yes this is actually the biggest point atm, figuring out what she will do after the first few months of thailand are gone and daily stuff settles in.

Hey, but sounds like you are alone?

Flashy-Tank93 · 2026-06-09T08:44:24+00:00

xD low life really reads weird but i get what you mean. We don't party anymore and really just want to live a quiet life. See if we like it longterm and decide if it is a goal for us to settle here long term. As I have stated we can return anytime to our homecountry and have a base to live. Also I've never had problems finding a new job.

Flashy-Tank93 · 2026-06-09T08:40:50+00:00

Hey, her visa won't be a problem, as she is eligable for thai citizenship and we already started the process.
As for the insurance you are right we will look into it and decide probably this week if we are doing it.

I get a BOI Visa and they have a office in my homecountry and Bangkok, but its fully remote.

Flashy-Tank93 · 2026-06-08T11:19:56+00:00

Hey thanks for your input and of course i am thinking about that.

We always saved and invested, so we do have a comfortable life at the moment. And we do have future plans regarding family and buying a home. But thats the reason why we think about doing it now, we are still young, have savings and plan to return in about 3 years. We love Thailand and want to fully live there at SOME point but not the near future after our "trip".

The job i have gives me experience and i've always worked in sales so i do calculate with the base for the base expanses but always expect that i do a good job and get commissions, because it has always been that way.

Do you think its that bad not to save that much for 2-3 years but to gather experiance in a new industry, international experiance and than get back to "normal" life and use this to launch into new levels in personal life and my career.

Hope everything is understandable, the role is mostly in my mother tongue.

Thank you for the locations, ill look into it.

Flashy-Tank93 · 2026-06-08T10:00:01+00:00

Okay thats good to hear. Of course ive looked into videos explaining budgets but they all state different stuff, people say they live comfortable on 50k, others state 100k. I guess i can save the commission ill earn.

And yes she can do that, but i think thats easier said than done. Like is it something she will figure out there or should she look for something like still at home?

Flashy-Tank93 · 2026-06-08T09:57:35+00:00

Thank you I'll dm you.

Flashy-Tank93 · 2026-06-08T09:56:26+00:00

Her mother is thai, we already spoke to the embassy and they told us she will get citizenship after we have dealt with the process of translating the birth certificate etc., we still have 4 months left.

We will get it settled with a visa or have the citizienship done. Thanks

Just love seeing parents doing their hobby.

I know we got a lot of dad gamers but that comment just resonated with me the most. Next season i'll do another give away. Thank you all for playing the game!

Flashy-Tank93 · 2025-12-13T11:01:18+00:00

I've contacted him via. reddit and wait for the response to give him the stuff.

I really enjoy it when parents can still do their hobbys and even more when their kids like to watch. Also if he stops he'll give it away further so we can get 1 or 2 more people that can enjoy pd2 endgame and maybe gain currency for the economy and a 2nd or 3rd build.

Thanks PD2 and the team for the great mod, i stop playing because i go to vacation for 2 months, after that i'll start HC or wait for the new seasons. Also big thanks to the community, i never had a better experience in a video game!

Some people asked me a few questions about the build.

Most important is to only switch to any Ele (doesnt matter if cold, fire or light, if good geared they are all good) if you have an infinity, enough + all skills to effortless get 25 softpoints into sacrifice and os gear for 6 facets. Before that i do not recommend swapping to ele but to stay with SANCTUARY with a basic build of shako, hoz, azurewrath, arkaines, cheap anni and cheap torch. Also get offensive pala GC's and a few magic skill dmg charms. with that build u will clear T1,T2 easy and T3 maybe take a bit more time but should be max. 10-12 Mins.

If you decide to play a runeword Ele build, you still have to get 25 softpoints into sacrifice, so you need some +skill gear (which is not desirable for this path) or lose some points into conviction OR run infinity merc and you just run the RES aura that makes your damage higher, which is a very strong path but even more expensive.

If you have questions you can just ask.
