We would like to have a house rather than a 'cond'.. what is the best way to look at for house and land?
Also because of baby we would like to be there 6 months say 3 months there, 3 months uk then back 3 months then back to Uk as we also have other chidren.
At the moment for our next visit we have got 2 60 day visas as we will go off for a while and see Laos, vietnam etc then back for the baby.
I know when u reach 50 there is a year visa where u have to have X amount in bank account but is there any other way round staying when u have a grandchild.
Hope this does not sound confusing.
Kind regards and thank you inadvance for any help ..

Hi Debs
Think the best thing you can do is take in some of the good advice on this thread , and just come and try it for a year, I have lived in a few countries and although Thailand has a lot to offer it can also be a very frustrating country, with a lot of twists and turns making things difficult for foreigners (farangs). And most of the red tape changes regulary wheather military run or goverment run, and usually not in the favour of the Farang .So would keep your cash in the UK for now where its safe and secure.
Good luck
