Oh yes Thailand is so .. well very Thai. Both the beatches down south and the hills up north is a must see, but Isan (north east) is maybe the least spoiled mass tourism and there is access to both Laos and Cambodia. Down Phi Phi is sooo nice.
If you go to Chain Mai make sure you stay there on Sunday for the big market in the old inner city and AND go to the Garden ( http://www.thegardenchiangmai.com/ ) they have the best live music. You can join the jam session if you are interested. Good luck with it, and I love you blog and the great courage you have to enjoy life without being a slave of the banks who f…..d the world so badly lately.

Glad to hear you will be going to Thailand! My husband and I have been there 4 times and love it! I recommend Kata Beach on Phuket Island. We spent a month there last December. It is a good place for families to visit. After travelling throughout SE Asia, Thailand is still our favorite. Angkor Wat is amazing, but Cambodia might be a difficult place to take a young child.

Happy Travels!

I am new and have no idea if Courtney is a certified teacher. If she is you might consider teaching (and you substitute teaching) at an American International School. I have several friends who were in the schools in Thailand. I taught in Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong. They offer great benefits and childcare!!! They even send you home most summers.
You might look into The International Educator on line. Recruiting begins in January and usually ends in March….
We did Thailand- bring a mosquito net for the bed- especially for the baby. Don’t go to a regular clinic if you end up with something that requires a needle. Their idea of clean in small towns is much different than ours….
Still have very fond memories of the trip!
Enjoy the travel!

I have to admit, this is the first time that I stubled upon your blog (via getrichslowly) and I found the right post My wife and I are also going to Thailand for 2 months. We leave on 12th Dec. I just quit my job and also want to try a more mobile lifestyle. If you want, you can contact me via email. We are going to Bangkok, Koh Tao, Phuket, Chiang Mai… basically all around the country.

Hello,
this is my first time posting but I’ve really enjoyed reading your site. I’ve been living in Seoul, South Korea for over 3 years now and I must say, if you’re looking for a unique cultural experience as well as opportunities to save money, this is a great place to come to.
Your wife could get a job teaching English and the company she would work for would pay for your housing. In Seoul the transportation system is really top-notch with awesome subway and good bus systems. Lots of people from North America and other English speaking countries come here to pay off their debts. You could check out the Korean job board on this site if you’re interested: http://www.eslcafe.com/. Regardless, have fun in Thailand! I’ve been to Phuket and had a nice time except for getting food poisoning. I think the water got me so be careful. Outdoor vendors may give you a bottle of water but the ice they make might use tap so that’s something to keep in mind.

Paul in Seoul.

Hey Baker!

Just found your site from the ProBlogger review and had to check it out when I heard you were planning on moving to Thailand for a few months. Considering your sense of adventure and love for a bargain I know you’re going to simply love Thailand.

I’ve visited over a dozen times in the past 12 years and my wife is a Thai citizen with many friends in Bangkok. If you’re looking for any information at all please feel free to contact me.

I am following a similar path as you, but want to pay off all of my debts before heading out from the U.S. as our plan is to settle permanently in Thailand. Right now it looks as if we’re maybe two years out, and as you can imagine I get more excited the closer it gets. We have also recently found out that we’re pregnant and obviously I need to make plans for the new addition as well.

While I have been pretty good at paying down some substantial credit card debt over the past 2 1/2 years your site has shown me that I can be more detailed in my record keeping and can certainly be more focused in my financial planning. I will be following along here and want to check out both GetRichSlowly and PocketSmith now.

Just want to say thanks for what you’re doing here and let you know that both I and my wife are available and willing to help out with whatever information we can about Thailand.
