For those who are thinking about coming to Thailand, you’re in luck! We’re happy to announce that we now offer Thailand Coaching Sessions. Our personalized coaching sessions are designed to guide long term travelers and prospective expats towards amazing lives abroad. Whether you plan to move to Thailand indefinitely, take a sabbatical, or simply enjoy a long vacation here, we offer answers to all of your questions.
Now Introducing Thailand Coaching Sessions
Thanks to readers like you, our blog has blossomed since it began a year and a half ago. Since working our way up to be among Thailand’s blog authorities, we’ve been met with an outpour of emails, comments, and questions from people looking for more insight on coming to Thailand. We’ve learned so much about Thailand from before and since our own move back in March 2013 and have shared our findings and experiences in well over a thousand emails and comments.
Now we’re taking everything we’ve learned and offering a service that dedicates our undivided attention to sharing that information with you. With our combined experience of moving to and successfully living the life in Thailand, we now offer customized and tailored Thailand Coaching Sessions to answer all your questions about moving here.
Is It Right For You?
Our Thailand Coaching Sessions are perfect for people who don’t have the precious time to spend stumbling through the internet for answers. This is also for people who have consumed every detail in our 100+ blog posts but are looking for more.
In fact, we’ve already made custom itineraries for people who’ve taken extended vacations in Chiang Mai. We’ve helped people settle here who wanted to become location-independent entrepreneurs and others who simply wanted to make a major life change.
We will continue to give quality and informative posts, but if you are looking for more breadth or depth from what we haven’t yet covered, this service is for you.
What We Provide
Each Thailand Coaching Session starts off with a 90 minute consultation via phone call, video chat, or live chat. You’ll have plenty of topics to choose from, but you can pretty much ask us anything! Within 24 hours of your consultation, we will send you a follow-up email with all the answers to your questions as well as any pertinent links to help make your visit or move to Thailand easier.
Think about it: in only one day, you’ll have all the answers to those questions that have been bugging you for months, perhaps even years.
Let us take care of you. Learn more about our Thailand Coaching Sessions here. We look forward to working with you!
Your Coaches,
Chris and Angela

Hi Guys…Really appreciate everything you do..One quick question..What amount do we need to deposit in a Thai bank if we plan to stay awhile ? We are pre-retirement… Is the amount per couple or person ?Thank you and keep up the great job..Al from Montreal
Hey Al. You’ll need to deposit 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account to be eligible for a retirement visa (in addition to other qualifications) and it must remain there untouched for 2 months before applying for a retirement visa and 3 months total before applying for a retirement visa extension. That is per person if you both want a retirement visa. If one of you has the retirement visa, the other spouse is eligible for a dependent visa without needing any money. Do not put the money in a joint bank account (keep it in your name only), otherwise… Read more »
Hi Chris and Angela, Love this idea! You’ll do SO well with it because folks don’t have the time to make mistakes, and to fumble through processes, on their way to become ex-pats, or even if they just need advice for long term travel. Kelli and I have lived in Thailand for some 20 months over the past 43 months. We learned SO much over the almost 2 years we’ve spend in Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Phuket, Pak Nam Pran and Koh Lanta. Thailand rocks, but you need to get the culture thing down pat, and the way things are done,… Read more »
You got it! If you have all the free time in the world and know exactly what resources to look at, ok, yes, it is possible to answer your own questions about Thailand. But realistically, it’s not probable. Even after a year and a half living in Thailand, we still learn something new about Chiang Mai every week. And even though you’ve traveled for a cumulative 20 months all over Thailand, we’re sure you’re still stumbling upon new things, too. Thailand does has it own special way of doing things, and it’s good to have someone who’s been there already… Read more »
We have recently used this service from Chris and Angela, and the support given was absolutely fantastic (and no, they haven’t asked us to say that, this is a GENUINE testimonial). They answered everything that we had prepared, plus more that we hadn’t even thought of. They even summarised all that was discussed in a PDF and sent it via email for future reference. Seriously, this is an excellent service, and the price unbelievably good value. 100% recommended. Thanks again.
Wow, thank you for your impromptu review! We were happy to receive your positive comments via email and really appreciate that you took the time to share your experience with our readers. We strive to provide the best information during your coaching session and are happy to hear you felt that we went above and beyond and would recommend our services to others. From small business owner to small business owner, thanks again!
I think these personalized sessions will be a really great help for many people!
We wish we had found something like this when we were planning our big move to Thailand. There were so many times we threw our hands in the air in frustration after spending hours scrounging the internet with no answers. The added bonus is during our coaching sessions, not only are you questions answered immediately, we even provide answers to questions you hadn’t even thought about. Totally worth it if you ask us!

Fabulous to read your reviews.
Earlier this year I retired in Australia, Sold most of my stuff and have made the move to live in Thailand. Currently I have a teaching role and enjoy working with the students. Very happy to be here and would like to retire at some point. Happy to discuss.
Good to hear you made the leap! What part of Thailand are you teaching in?
Well done guys, hard work pays off, as I’ve said I found your site when you guys first put it up and have read every post from there on and continually check up for motivation. Making this part of your site and business / life adventure over work is awesome.

Mark, you’re awesome! We wholeheartedly appreciate your level of support of our Thailand Coaching Sessions and Chiang Mai Itineraries. Seeing gratitude and enthusiasm confirms that we are doing the right thing offering these.
Excellent! If there is anything we can help with please just let us know. We might be able to help you give some insight into couples who have reached retirement (or early retirement) age who want to make the jump to Thailand.
Wonderful! We’d love to be able to confirm with you on some of those retirement details. And we’ll make it fun, say, over Khao Soi?
