If you are relocating to Thailand full time, learn from those expats before you that have already made a successful transition.
There is a high percentage of people that have been only tourists to Thailand and these people should not be trusted or listened to on social media.
Find the social media groups with evidence of truth.
For example, if you are having a house built in Thailand, visit actual house building groups that you can see photos of houses they built or are building.
Do not take advice from people that think they know it all and that Thailand is like the west.
You have to search far and wide to find expats that you can trust.
Expats have been in Thailand more than 50 years and there is a wealth of experience to help you settle down with minimum disruption if you can get the correct and truthful advise.
Many have made the successful move with no adverse events and live a quality life.
You can too, if you are smart in your research and trust.
Due diligence on your part is key to a successful move.
Make a list check it twice or three times.
