Default Moving to Krabi province of Thailand

Hi
Albert
I currently live in Krabi province; I have for nearly 2 years.

So when you do get some specific questions, ask away!

By the way, what services are you referring to?

Finding a place to live? - Not so hard, but you do have to spend a few days (weeks) living in a guesthouse while you drive around and find places for rent because there really is no rental property real-estate offices. Guesthouses are very cheap right now as everyone is struggling to make money with the general absence of tourism.

Finding a job? - Depends on what you are looking for: if you are a teacher, I had a friend come into town and was hired by 2 places in a week (but the wages are crap here compared to Bangkok, as are the general architectural condition of the schools)

Visa runs? - loads of places offer these sorts of services and if you want to do it yourself there are many busses leaving Krabitown to Hat Yai all day, every day.

Ok, tired of typing, let me know what you need to know - it would be helpful to know what part of Krabi province you are planning to head to. A province is a pretty wide area.
Keep in touch
Andy
