MOBILE PHONES The first thing you need is a Sim card with data transfer and some phone time. In Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), there are several places to buy a Thai SIM card. The main spot are the Network’s kiosks after you exit customs, right outside of the International gates where people hold up signs. There are kiosks for Thailand’s main mobile operators – DTAC (blue), AIS (Green ) and True Move (Red). If there is no waiting line, anyone of these is fine. Jump in line and wait your turn, and the staff should get you hooked right up. You can also wait and find one of the operators’ shops later. If you plan for a longer stay, that might be cheaper than the tourist SIM’s they prefer to sell in the airport. You will need help from the local Thai staff with setting up your phone so you can read your emails and surf websites and applications online, but mostly it works automatically. Previously, a SIM could be bought in any 7-11 store, but since the authorities are worried about terrorists, all SIM cards must now be registered on your passport.

INTERNET With the spread of smartphones the number of internet users in Thailand has 8

Thailand Expat Guide

100 exploded and is probably today over 50 million people - although the vast majority don’t think of themselves as surfing the internet, but only playing with their phone! The largest regular internet provider in the country are True, AIS, DTAC, and 3BB. True provides home entertainment services with their True Move service as well. To get online with you laptop, you can either find a Wi-Fi spot in most restaurants or - for more mobility - buy a USB plugin that includes Wi-Fi access from your laptop, tablet or mobile phone. In Thailand they call them “air-cards” or “wif-fi cards”.

LANGUAGE If you plan to stay for a year in Thailand, it is highly recommended that you find a Thai language course near where you live. Do this as soon as possible. After just a few weeks when you can say “turn left”, “turn right” and “where is the toilet”, you feel less of an urge to take this course, but your progress with the Thai language will soon come to a stop if you don’t take a systematic approach. Thai, or more precisely Central Thai, is the national and official language of Thailand. It is spoken and understood by all Thai people. But for many, their local dialect will remain their first language. Although most words are the same, these

dialects will have a different sound and many of the words will be quite different to Central Thai. The Thai language is tonal and has a unique script with far more character than the western alphabet. It has also three relational markers which help the Thai reader understand how the word is pronounced. Some words in Thai have roots back to Pali, Sanskrit and Old Khmer. Some words been assimilated from Chinese and recently, many words have been adopted from English, however these borrowed words are often used with a convenient abbreviation that makes it hard to recognize. The most famous word adopted from French is the Thai word that used to describe all white skinned foreigners, “farang”. The word comes from the Thai pronunciation of the country France, “Farangcet”.

TRANSLATION Google translate is not yet good enough to use as online translation from Thai to English or from English to Thai. Online, the following services are recommended: http://www.thai-language.com/ http://www.thai2english.com/ For official translation of documents, there are many small and inexpensive service operators in the main tourist centres of Thailand.

WEATHER Thailand has a tropical climate, high in both temperature and humidity. April and May are the hottest months of the year . June brings the South West Monsoon and the rainy season until October. From November to the end of February, there is a ScandAsia Business Directory 2018

The Basics cooling North East breeze and a reduction in the humidity level. It is always much cooler in the north where the temperature may occasionally drop to as low as 2Â°C. For coastal weather, this website is great: http://www.buoyweather.com/map/gulf-ofthailand

CULTURE The Thai culture incorporates cultural beliefs and characteristics indigenous to the area known as modern day Thailand. It is coupled with much influence from ancient India, China and Cambodia, along with the neighboring pre-historic cultures of Southeast Asia. It is influenced primarily by Animism, Hinduism, Buddhism, as well as by later migrations from China. During the last century, various forms of Christian and Islam beliefs have been spreading.

FOOD The Thai cuisine is the national cuisine of Thailand. Blending elements of several Southeast Asian traditions, Thai cooking places emphasis on lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components. The spiciness of Thai cuisine is well known. As with other Asian cuisines, balance, detail and variety are of great significance to Thai chefs. Thai food is known for its balance of three to four fundamental taste senses in each dish or the overall meal: sour, sweet, salty, and bitter.

THAILAND NEWS Thailand has a rich mix of English language media and even a few in various Nordic languages. The most comprehensive Nordic news website is www.scandasia.com serving news daily for Scandinavian residents in Thailand and other countries in South East Asia.

VISA REGULATIONS If you plan to stay more than 3 months in Thailand you should apply for a visa at the Thai embassy or consulate in your home country before you travel here. Be sure to apply for the right type of visa. 1. Visa on arrival If you are sure that you will not stay over 30

days in Thailand, there is no need to apply for a visa. Passport holders from all the Nordic countries will get permission to stay for 30 days if they arrive at an airport and 15 days if they arrive at a land checkpoint. Conditions are: a) your passport must be valid for at least 6 months on the day you enter b) you have proof of onward travel (confirmed air, train, bus or boat tickets) c) you have enough money to support yourself during the stay. 2. Tourist Visa Tourist Visa can be applied for at any embassy or consulate general outside Thailand. Applicants should submit a completed application form with a recent photograph. The application fee is 1,000 Baht (subject to change without notice). Arrival with a Tourist Visa to Thailand gives you permission to stay up to 60 days ScandAsia Business Directory 2018

Visa regulations if you arrive by air. If you arrive overland you may be refused entry if you have just stayed 30 days on a Visa on arrival prior to applying for the tourist visa, so better fly. 3. Education Visa Students at Government approved educational institutions can apply for a non-im ED (Education) visa. You can also start by coming to Thailand and then enroll in the school, you chose. Often, students select the Thai language course. The school offers to handle all the paperwork, but most or all of the tuition fees must be paid up in advance. An education visa costs 2000 Baht (60 USD, 40 EUR - subject to change) paid to the Thai Embassy or Consulate. The tuition fee is not included in these fees. 4. Business Visa If you want to work in Thailand, you will need a Business visa (non-Im ‘B’). You have to apply at an embassy outside Thailand. The easiest is to start from your home country, but if you are already in Thailand, we suggest applying at the Thai embassy in Singapore. Since 1 February 2017, the Royal Thai Embassy, Singapore has introduced Electronic Visa Application (EVA), where visa applicants will be able to fill out application forms, submit and check application status online. Applicants start by logging into the website http://www.thaiembassy.sg/ visaonline/ and the embassy encourages to use electronic visa application. The most important paperwork you need are: a) letter from your Thai company stating your position and salary. b) corporate registration papers from the employing Thai company. c) A WP3 letter from Ministry of Labour that your future employer will get for you. It is a kind of pre-approval of your work permit once you come into Thailand on your Business Visa. 14

Thailand Expat Guide

A business visa does not allow you to work in Thailand but is the first step needed to apply for a work permit. Additional paperwork is needed if you intend to work as a teacher. The schools know what to provide and will hand you a bundle of documents for submission to the embassy. 5. Non “O” Visa Applicants who have married a Thai national and wish to stay with their Thai family in Thailand can apply for a Non “O” visa. This type of visa is also the visa you need, if you wish to do volunteering work with the state enterprises or social welfare organizations in Thailand. 6. Retirement Visa Those over the age of 50 can apply to live in Thailand for one year at a time using a retirement visa. The application starts with obtaining a three-month retirement visa, also known as an “O-A” visa. Before you buy a home, consider in the beginning to rent a property instead. To qualify for a retirement visa you need to have the following documents: a) Copy of your passport b) Passport photos c) Letter from bank showing 800,000 Baht deposit, or d) Proof of 60,000 Baht a month income e) Criminal record clearance from country of origin f) Medical certificate g) Completed application form Attorneys can come in handy during the process especially if you want to bring some of your personal items from your home country which is one of the common issues that create confusion. The financial requirements can be a combination of both income and fixed deposit. This needs to be calculated for you.

Visa regulations Visa runs Most foreign visitors to Thailand are granted a 30 day stay upon entry via airport, or 15 days via any land border if they arrive without a visa. Extending your visa without leaving the country cost 1900 baht and it is not possible to get more than one (1) week.

PERMANENT RESIDENCY Applying for Permanent Residency in Thailand requires you to have the following criteria: a) Must have had a Thai non-immigrant visa for at least three years prior to the submission of your application. b) Must be a holder of a non-immigrant visa at the time of submitting your application.

Baht investment in Thailand) • Working / Business category • Supports a family or Humanity Reasons category: In this category, you must be having a relationship with a Thai citizen or an alien who already has a residence permit as a husband or wife; father or mother; or a guardian of a Thai child less than 20 years of age. • Expert / academic category • Other categories as determined by Thai Immigration You should note that the list of required documents for the application depends on the category under which the application is made.

Setting up a home

f you plan to stay in Thailand for more than a typical vacation, finding a place to live is top priority.

RENTING Though there are several options to choose from, it is advisable not to immediately jump into real estate and purchase a property. Renting an apartment until you are certain of your commitment level for purchase is better. There are several types of accommodation in Thailand including high-rise apartments, condominium complexes, seaside bungalows and stand-alone houses and all are usually available for rent. Since foreigners are not allowed to

own land in Thailand (see below), local landlords are sensitive to expatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rental needs, and do a good job of advertising available properties. Individual rental agreements vary so check the terms and conditions carefully. Most rental agreements are oneyear contracts secured with a deposit. When you want to terminate the rent, the landlord must be informed at least 30 days in advance. If the agreement is terminated before the end of the signed agreement, the security deposit may be kept or returned based on the terms in the contract. The tenant is responsible for any damage to the apartment or house as well as any furnishings that came with the property. The security deposit will be

Setting up a home retained to cover any damage or items missing from the property. Local condominium apartments vary with location and design ranging from 4,000 to more than 14,000 Baht. In the most exclusive end of the market, rents up to 100.000 Baht per month are available. The high cost apartments are justified by excellent facilities and convenient location. Tips Bargaining is often not an option on rental prices. Many landlords would rather leave their properties empty than compromise on the rental price they find reasonable. A recent law that must be followed by companies and individuals who own more than five houses or apartment for rent, protects renters better than before, especially against sudden eviction, unnanounced inspections, and excessive deposits. To make sure that your deposit is refunded in full, take plenty of photos of the place, and conduct an inspection of the property with the landlord in attendance, pointing out to them any problems with the place. Since you are paying for your own electricity, water and telephone bills, be sure to conserve power whenever possible.

HOME PURCHASE Thai real estate is a complex area, so before contacting a real estate agents who have property for sale in Thailand, it may be more helpful to get to terms with the requirements of purchasing property in Thailand. Condominiums Condominiums are equal to what we in the Nordic countries call apartments. On certain simple condition, foreigners may legally own a condominium in their own name. 18

Thailand Expat Guide

A foreigner may own a condominium as long as the condo is one of the foreign quotas of the building which can usually be no more than 49 percent of the total number of condos in the building. And it must be above the third floor. Not all blocks of apartments are condominiums; the building has to be registered with the land department as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;condominiumâ&#x20AC;?. Check for this carefully before signing any agreement. Land Foreigners are forbidden to own land. This includes attempts to evade the law through a Thai proxy or straw man/-woman - even when this would be your lawfully married wife - or a setting up of a Thai company with the purpose of evading this law. Foreigner are welcome to purchase a land lease, also called leasehold. The maximum time limit for the land lease is

Setting up a home 30 years and the lease must be written in Thai although a translation may be filed along with the Thai-language contract. The contract must be recorded on the land title at the local Land Office to protect the foreigner from eviction in case for instance a new land owner would wish to build something on the land. Once you own the land lease, you can own the house, you may decide to build on it. Professional assistance Visit a few real estate agents before deciding who to rely on when requesting professional help to search for property. While real estate agents are good in assisting you in your research, they are seldom independent professionals. In Thailand, a property agency is often owned by the company who built the property which would be illegal in the Nordic countries. Select your own lawyer. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on the sellers or the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer. The ownership issue is important to arrange

in a way that can not later be deemed a circumvention of the law by the Thai authorities. If you plan to build your own house, a lawyer is indispensable.

BUILDING YOUR OWN There are several procedures to go through prior to being able to build a house in Thailand. Since foreigners are not allowed to own any land in Thailand, it is essential to consult an independent lawyer before going ahead with any type of building contract. Building permits are regulated by the Building Control Act and issued under the Town and City Planning Act. If the land to be used to build on has a clear and legal title deed, a building permit can be obtained at the Land Office. Usually, the builder applies for building permits on behalf of the construction owner. Other factors There are other factors that are looked at

Also, depending on which zone you have decided to build your house in, keep in mind that several zoning restrictions may apply.

You will find a variety of hardware, do-ityourself items, garden supplies, electrical items and tools that you can use for your home.

Asian furniture mixes nicely with Scandinavian style homes and will preserve unique memories from your stay in Thailand. Moving stuff from your home country here is a chapter by itself, but if you didn’t bring anything with you from your previous home, there are furniture stores all over Thailand around such as Index Living Mall, Central Department Store, IKEA, and Koncept. In Hua Hin, visit the Swedish owned The Cabinet for inspiration.

FACILITIES Satellite TV The biggest satellite TV provider is True

Visions. It has a variety of channels including National Geographic, Star Movies, HBO, BBC World, Star Sports, Animal Planet, CNN, Cartoon Network among many others. The programs are available in different packages of varying costs depending on the channels that you chose. A monthly program guide will be sent to the subscriber’s home address. To watch Scandinavian TV programs, you don’t need a satellite. There are providers that offer Internet TV with modems. But it is even cheaper to open a VPN service with a provider back home. Then you can also see the thousands of web pages, that the Thai censors do not allow the Thai people to see. Simply search Google for “VPN services in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland” and you have a handful of choices.

Internet Internet usage has grown rapidly in Thailand and service providers compete to offer attractive packages. Currently, True is the largest internet provider in the country. In most condominiums you can contact the office and get monthly contracts or prepaid cards that include Wi-Fi access from your mobile phone or wi-fi through companies such as AIS, DTAC, True or 3BB. Postal system Thailand Post Company Limited owned by the state is Thailandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postal service provider. There are more than 3,000 post offices in Thailand with over 30,000 smaller, privately owned branch offices in various locations. Most post offices operate from 08:30 to 16:30 and offer a variety of services other than postal services including money transfers, bill payments and a whole range of other business services.

Thai post office accepts mail with addresses written in English language as well as Thai language.

HOUSEHOLD INSURANCE A household insurance would be very useful in the case of unexpected damages that may occur to your home. It is encouraged that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on your landlord, in the case that you are renting your accommodation, to already have some kind of coverage. It is best to acquire an insurance that covers your home in the case of a fire, flood or theft. These are the extreme cases through which a huge amount of damage cannot be accounted for.

GETTING A WORK PERMIT

oreigners who wish to work in Thailand, whether paid or voluntary, must have a work permit. Exceptions are only reserved for certain international agencies, diplomats, those working for the United Nations and a small number of other categories. Foreigners are restricted from taking up certain occupations that are protected under the Foreign Business Act of 1999. Those include farm worker, hairdresser, pottery maker, shoe maker and certain other professions. But the foreigner may work in a company engaged in these sectors, for instance as export manager. The official definition of “work” by the Ministry of Labour is “exerting energy or using knowledge whether or not in consideration of wages or other benefits”. Organisations representing foreigners working in Thailand have tried for years to request a more clear definition, but so far no Thai government has been willing to change the current regulations that could be abused by corrupt state officials when for instance retired persons are seen

A work permit is issued by the Department of Employment, Ministry of Labour. In applying for a work permit in Thailand, you need the assistance of your potential employer. The procedure is complex and involves the collection of a large amount of documentation. In general, there are two criteria, that must be met. The employing company must employ at least four Thais for every foreigner whose work permit it sponsors, and the company must have a paid up share capital of no less than 2 mill. THB. per foreigner it wishes to employ. The normal procedure to gain a work permit after arriving in Thailand is first to travel abroad e.g. to Singapore with the papers prepared by your new employer in order to apply at a Thai embassy for a Non-Immigrant B Visa. Recently, this embassy has introduced online application procedures, so check that out first. When you arrive back in Thailand with your Non-Im B visa, your employer can start applying for a work permit. It will usually be granted for either six months or one year regardless of your contract. Once issued, a Work Permit must be kept at the place of employment ready for inspection. Expiry The Work Permit expires when the NonImmigrant B Visa expires. Check the date of expiry of the visa and make sure it’s renewed before the expiration date to avoid going through the entire application process again. ScandAsia Business Directory 2018

Working in Thailand A work permit is only valid for the specific job in the specific company for which it is issued, and at a spoecific location. Any change in duties or transfer to another employer must be applied for and approved in advance for a transfer or application of new work permit.

specialized skills. Don’t bother applying for jobs where the company has specified it as “Thai National Only”. They cannot give you a work permit.

Employment without permit

While foreigners may set up a company in Thailand, it is not a straightforward process and all company documents filed have to be in the Thai language. The help of a professional with experience in the field is highly recommended; there are restrictions on the type and activity of businesses that foreigners can be involved with under the Foreign Business Act and other legislation. A breakdown of the procedures to starting your own business can be summarized with: a) Apply for permission to use company name b) Deposit paid-in capital in a bank c) Obtain a corporate seal d) Get approval for memorandum of association and apply to register the company as a legal entity (final registration) at the Private Limited Companies Registrar. e) Submit company work regulations to the Office of Labour Protection and Welfare of the Ministry of Labour at the district where the head office of the company is located. Each of the above procedures may take a few days to process and some may require a fee to complete.

Penalties applicable to foreigners working without work permits can be quite harsh ranging from a fine from THB 2,000 to THB 100,000 and/or imprisonment and/ or deportation. In addition to that, working without permit may result in other penalties being imposed under the Immigration Act prohibiting re-entrance to the country (blacklisted). In practice, however, the authorities usually settle the case and deport the person from Thailand. It is highly recommended that foreigners who wish to work in Thailand make an effort to apply for a proper work permit.

JOB SEARCH Looking for a job in Thailand may not be as difficult as you think. The newspapers carry job advertisements and there are several online job advertisement portals. From there on, it is the same process as you would go through in any other country. It depends on the employers’ needs and the job seeker’s skills. The more specialized the skills, especially in the fields that are in higher demand, the better your chances. Location is an important factor to consider. Tourist areas such as Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin or Phuket pose stronger competition in the job market. Teaching is a primary job choice for many, but there are also opportunities in sectors such as banking and finance, computer and IT, sales, entertainment, tourism, writing, administration and in areas using 26

START UP A BUSINESS

Using a business law firms Lawyers are quite useful for most transactions or signing of important documents as they are written in Thai. There are also certain regulations and procedures that an experienced lawyer would understand more than foreigners so they do not get stuck in any sticky situations.

Working in Thailand

Services which fall into this category include the drafting of public instruments, private contracts or agreements, registration and licensing requirements, notary services, personal legal documentation, and many others. It is best to get recommendations from people who have previously used lawyers. Some lawyers have a particular good reputation in the Scandinavian communities around the country. Ask your local Nordic club.

CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE To get a network of business friends, it is recommended that you join the Chamber of Commerce covering your home country. There are four Nordic chambers of commerce in Thailand. Their full names are Danish-Thai Chamber of Commerce, Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce, Thai-Norwegian Chamber of Commerce and Thai-Finnish Chamber of Commerce. Dancham, Swecham, Norcham and Thai-Finnish, are organizations that offer news and information about companies and businesses from the respective nations in Thailand. Members are informed

of events, parties, latest news and much more of what is going on in the community. Denmark - www.dancham.or.th/ Norway - www.norcham.com/ Sweden - www.swecham.com/ Finland - www.thaifin.or.th/ Networking Business and social networking used to be events that everyone looked forward to. Recently, however, some Chambers start charging hefty tickets to events even though they are sponsored by a company. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind paying to meet your friends, it is however not just a great place to meet people but also a good opportunity to mingle with other people of the same nationality as you. Around four to six times a year, all the chambers in Thailand jointly come together for an all chamber networking event. At these networking events, you are chanced to meet some of the big guns in top organizations in Thailand. Following up on all contacts you gain through these events will also improve the chances of securing a job locally. ScandAsia Business Directory 2018

Money matters

iving in Thailand is more affordable than living in the Nordic countries. This together with the general nature of the population and the climate makes Thailand an ideal country for retirement. In recent years, Nordic companies have started moving some tasks to be performed in Thailand. The same staff as before is doing the job, but maybe on a reduced salary since. It is a win-win because having relocated to Thailand, the person will likely enjoy a higher standard of living for the reduced amount.

COST OF LIVING The general cost of living in Thailand can be very low or very high according to the chosen life style. Renting a fully equipped, high end condo in the heart of Bangkok, dining at western restaurants every day and visiting top nightclubs often would certainly require an income of at least THB 150,000. There are however alternatives to this. Renting a townhouse in the suburb of Bangkok for 10,000 THB per month is quite normal for the price conscious family. Eating out every day, mostly Thai food with an occasional western treat, purchasing Thai goods from the supermarket and going out once a week would probably come up to THB 30,000 - 40,000. Food, accommodation and shopping can be obtained at very reasonable cost but as usual, the cost of living depends on location. Renting a furnished, modern house in places like Surin, Nong Kai or Korat would be less expensive than in Bangkok or any of the traditional tourist areas.

BANKS AND ACCOUNTS Expats are allowed to open a bank account in Thailand but the process of doing so may not be that easy. Most banks will insist

that you must have a work permit before you are able to open a bank account. If you are staying on a retirement visa or a O-visa, a bank may be ready to allow you to open an account. Local banks in popular tourist areas are usually more helpful as they regularly deal with foreigners. Best advice is to try a few different branches and a few different banks. The major Thai banks are Bangkok Bank, Krung Thai Bank, Kasikornbank, Siam Commercial Bank. The alternative is to leave your money in a bank abroad and simply transfer the money you need using ATM machines or charging payments to your bank card. Be sure to withdraw money in big amounts as there is a fixed bank fee of 150 THB for dispensing any amount of money from your foreign bank card using a Thai ATM machine. On top of that your foreign bank may have additional charges.

PRIVATE BANKING One of the incentives for working abroad is the opportunity to save up more money than if you were working back home. Foreigners in Thailand pay taxes usually only on the amount they are being paid by their employer in Thailand and not on any additional benefits that the employer may pay into a retirement account elsewhere in the world. The new OECD simplified shared accounting system, whereby all tax authorities world wide share basic financial details about any individual does not seem to have changed this rule for the Thai revenue department. If you go out for networking events, you will soon get phone calls from international wealth management representatives who will ask you for a meeting where they will explain how they can make your money grow faster. While such a meeting may ScandAsia Business Directory 2018

Money matters be educational, it is probably wise to investigate who these companies really are before you trust them with your hard earned saving. You should instead contact yourself some of the private banking institutions that serve other Scandinavians living in Asia. One such bank is Jyske Bank which is located in Gibraltar, but often visits their clients in Thailand and elsewhere in Asia.

INCOME TAX Everyone, foreign or Thai, who work in Thailand or have taxable income must apply for a taxpayer’s identification number which is issued by the Revenue Department on presentation of a Thai identification card or foreign passport and evidence of the need for the number. A foreigner who lives in Thailand for more than 180 days in a tax year (the calendar year) is considered a Thai resident for tax purposes. A resident is required to file taxes on all income received within Thailand as well as income received from foreign sources brought into Thailand. A non-resident living in Thailand less than 180 days within a tax year is only required to file a tax return and pay taxes on income received from sources within Thailand. All foreigners who work in Thailand are generally required to hold a valid work permit for the position they hold. But a tax resident foreigner is liable to pay tax on income received, as set out above, regardless of whether they have a work permit. Recently, the tax structure was made more progressive following the following steps:

Money matters Withholding tax Employers must withhold some of the money they pay to both foreigners and locals and deposit the withheld amount to the revenue department. There are different rates of withholding tax depending on the sort of income. If the foreigner is a local resident, the withholding tax can vary from 5 to 37 percent. If the foreigner is nonresident, the withholding is 15 percent. The taxpayer will get a receipt of the amount withheld. After the year end, the taxpayer must declare his or her income and when the amount of tax to be paid is calculated, the money that was withheld or deposited through the year will be deducted. Then the tax payer will either get money back or will have to pay an additional tax. Social welfare contribution Each company and employee also has to make contributions to the Social Security Fund. The contribution amounts to 5% of

the total salary but cannot be more than 750 Baht. As is the case in many countries, this fund serves for example for those who are injured, sick, disabled, or on maternity leave. Child welfare and unemployment (50% of the salary for maximum 180 days) are paid out of this fund as well. Companies employing more than ten employees also have to pay a contribution to the Workmen’s Compensation Fund, amounting to between 0.2% and 1% of the annual salary of the employee (depending on the assessed risks of the work). In case of injury, sickness, disablement or decease, the employee or the heirs will receive compensation (60% of the monthly salary) and reimbursement of certain costs out of this fund. Foreigners employed in Thailand participate in all the above schemes.

Choosing your school

o decide on something as important as your child’s education and wellbeing might be the toughest part about moving to another country. Choosing a new school when moving to Thailand has become increasingly difficult for parents. There are more and more schools established all the time, and each institution has its own unique philosophy and attributes. Comparing what they offer with the needs of your child is no simple task. A good start is to ask other parents of your own nationality which school they have chosen and why. On the website www.scandasia.com under “Contacts Directory” you will find many associations related to your nationality in Thailand. You will find that they have chosen different schools and for different reasons but if you ask why, you will find that they all can be analyzed in the triangle “child needs - family needs - school offerings.”

an exception for your child if you are not comfortable with this. If you go for the International school, consider that international students grow up and evolve in a cultural environment that is vastly different to that of your own. Known as Third Culture Kids (TCKs), they often develop a very different attitude to many issues compared to their former friends back home and even to you yourself. If you are uncomfortable with this prospect you may prefer to look into the option of choosing a local school or a boarding school back home. Once this is said, most European families prefer the international option. In Bangkok you will find Brighton College International School Bangkok, Harrow

Local vs International First choice is: Are you looking for a local Thai school or an international school? In most countries in Asia, a local school is an option - although certainly a more challenging option for your child. If you child is mixed Scandinavian - Asian this may, however, not be so frightening a prospect. And mostly it will have an economic silver lining as local private schools are less costly compared to international schools. However, physical punishment has not been abolished in the Thai school system, so take this into consideration. Talk to the school how they administer physical punishment and ask if they can make

Several schools in Bangkok share the words “St. Andrews” in their name, but the schools are members of two distinctly different networks. One network is called Cognita, the other is called Nord Anglia Education. Cognita currenty has four schools in Bangkok: • St. Andrews International Schools, Dusit • St. Andrews International School, Green Valley • St. Andrews International School, Sathorn • St. Andrews International School, Sukhumvit 107 Nord Anglia Education network has currently two schools in Bangkok: • St Andrews International School Bangkok (Primary School), Sukhumvit 71 • St Andrews International School Bangkok (High School), Sukhumvit Rd, Phra Khanong

In Chiang Mai you will find the Varee Chiangmai International School. In Phuket there is both the British International School, Phuket and Svenska Skolan Thailand - but Svenska Skolan you will also find in Koh Lanta, Huay Yang, and Hua Hin. After 7th. or 9th grade other options like one of the excellent boarding schools back home in Scandinavia or out here in Asia may be considered. In Bangkok, Harrow International School is also a boarding school and so is British International School, Phuket. For most European children, classes in the mother tongue are available. For example the Danish community recently established a solution whereby a Danish teacher can visit and teach Danish at a number of schools in the Bangkok area. For most nationalities, classes via the Internet is today also an option in particular if you are living outside Bangkok.

first”. These include your family’s financial constraints, your need for child care during non-school hours, the problem with transportation, and coordination if you have several children under education, etc. Every family brings different situations to the table. Be honest with yourself about your family’s aspirations and requirements. You must start with a true and clear picture of your family needs, and trust yourself to balance these with your child’s needs and with your search for a good quality school.

A few suggestions Here are a few suggestions to help you make up your mind: First: How far away is the school from your home? Before spending time looking through school courses, you need to make sure the school is not too far away. Bear in mind that in Bangkok like in most other big cities, it is the traveling time between your home and the school that matters and not the number of kilometers. How long will it take 38

Thailand Expat Guide

for your child to get to school and home afterwards? How will your child be going there? Especially in cities like Bangkok, you will be challenged by some of the heaviest rush hour traffic in the world. Second: What reputation does the school have? Talk to people as much as possible. This is where your first intuition comes handy. Don’t listen to opinions expressed by people who have no children at the school themselves - parents are quick to seek confirmation of their own choice by adopting opinions about the competing schools. The age of the school is no sure indication either. Nothing guarantees that the reputation of a hundred year old school is better than a one year old school. Third: How are the courses at the school? The school’s courses and programs will most likely be listed in the school’s information packag. They will talk about British Curriculum and American Curriculum

Choosing your school and - what most Scandinavians go for these days - the IB curriculum. This is important as you will most likely have to relocate again in a few years. Find out if the native language and culture of your child is taught as optional learning. It is important for your child to keep his or her ties to your cultural background. It is also important for you. Ask questions about the tests and exams which are offered and used as evaluation method. If your child is already a secondary school student, ask how well the graduating students do in getting accepted into major universities both in your current country, back home and elsewhere overseas. Fourth: What other activities can the school offer your child? Besides the fundamental course works, what kind of arts, sports, community service does the school offer? Are there proper facilities to support those activities? It seems that schools almost compete with each other when it comes to sports, thus many schools will have gymnasiums

and sport complexes, which are either new or re-modelled. But maybe your child is more into other activities - computer programming, performing arts? Most schools offer after-school/ weekend programs as well as field trips and community services. You should be able to freely pick the activities that best suit your child.

Child needs Now, your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs must be considered. Ask yourself what strengths, challenges and other characteristics really stand out about your child. Consider (a) what your child likes or is able to do well, (b) what your child does not like or has difficulty doing, and (c) how your child works and interacts best with adults and other children. All children need a school that will appropriately challenge and nurture them to succeed in core academic subjects, but research shows you can significantly improve your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and school performance by choosing and working

Choosing your school some point. You need to know in advance how the school will respond 2. The school monitors progress and adjusts teaching. It means the school assesses individual student progress often and changes teaching approaches to ensure that every child locks onto learning. Avoid schools that say, “Our grade level work is tough enough for all students” and schools where everyone makes grade level, but few kids score far above grade level. Both academically gifted children and motivated “typical” kids miss out in a school that is focusing on grade level only.

with the right school, so you have plenty of reasons to give it your best effort. There is also the curriculum to consider - what your child should learn and achieve at school - and how it fits with the school system back home if you should ever go back to Scandinavia.

School offerings School offerings is the third element in the triangle. Repeated, unbiased research shows that all truly outstanding schools adhere to certain principles. While all are important, the two most important factors are: 1. The school has high expectations for all students. It means all students are expected & helped to meet high minimum goals; goals are raised for individual students as soon as they are ready to learn beyond grade level Avoid schools that make excuses for kids who are behind academically. If your child struggles, they may make excuses rather than help your child, too. Also avoid schools that pretend none of their students struggle. All schools have more than a few students who face learning challenges at 42

Thailand Expat Guide

Here are a few more suggestions to help you make up your mind: Talk to people as much as possible to learn about a certain schools reputation. If many say the same it is probably true. But don’t listen to opinions expressed by people who have no children at the school themselves - those parents are often quick to seek confirmation of their own choice by adopting opinions about the competing schools.

Ask questions about the tests and exams which are offered and used as evaluation method. If your child is already a secondary school student, ask how well the graduating students do in getting accepted into major universities both in your current country, back home and elsewhere overseas. Talk to some of the existing students if possible. Are they happy there? Do they look motivated to learn? How will the school help your child get started? Do they assign so-called “buddies” (another student from the same country) for new students? How is the relationship between the

Choosing your school school and the parents? You will obviously not be able to monitor your child in school. The teacher will have to be your eyes and ears. You must be notified of your child’s functionality regardless of grade, and regardless of whether it includes bad behavior or progress your child has made. Make sure that you can get informed as often as possible. You may join a parents’ volunteer program if available. Some schools may offer activities for the whole family as well.

uncomplicated, but that may just be a honeymoon period. This is the most important step of them all. If your child develops in any way you find disturbing or even develops signs of discomfort with going to school, you should think twice before you tell your child that “this is life - it is not always pleasant!”. A change of school at the right time might be the single most important decision to make to put the future of your child on the right track!

Watch your child!

Picking a Preschool

Never mind how diligent you do your homework - and maybe the above list is a bit excessive - you will never be able to foresee if your child will thrive at the school. It is therefore important that you make a habit of spending more time than you used to be back home talking to your child about how school was today. What they did in class, and what they did outside. Let her or him tell about their new friends. Listen. All may initially sound fine and

When it comes to picking a pre-school, location near the home is mostly the top priority. But it could certainly help if you familiarize yourself with the different terms and philosophies in the field. Cutting through the many terms, there are generally two overall approaches. One os play-based - the other is academical. Within those philosophies are several more specific approaches, such as Montessori. Understanding the different terms will help

Thailand Expat Guide

Choosing your school

you find the program that suits your child’s needs. In a play-based program, children choose activities based on their current interests. The term “play-based” is often interchanged with “child-centered,” which could be used to describe the majority of available preschool programs. The play-based classroom is broken up into sections, such as a home or kitchen, science area, water table, reading nook, space with blocks and other toys, or other areas. Teachers encourage the kids to play, facilitating social skills along the way. Alternatively, there are academic programs, considered didactic, “teacherdirected,” “teacher-managed.” In these classrooms, teachers lead the children in a more structured way, planning the activities, then guiding the children in doing them. This design is aimed at preparing kids for the kindergarten setting. For the most part, classroom time is devoted to learning letters and sounds, distinguishing shapes and colors, telling time, and other skills. If you worry that a play-based classroom is too chaotic and your child 46

Thailand Expat Guide

would not thrive in it, you can easily find a more structured setting. The important thing to remember is that preschool should not look like elementary school. It should be organized so there is a plan and routine for the day. But at the same time, it should not be strict in the sense that kids are spending five minutes at this, ten minutes at this, with no exception. Whether you opt for a play-based or more academic setting, you are choosing to prepare your child for kindergarten and later schooling. While play-based approaches may work for most types of children, any quality preschool program can set the foundation for the transition to kindergarten and beyond. What matters is that your child is learning from adults who engage and stimulate intellectual curiosity while imparting social skills. In an article on the website www.pbs. org, author Laura Lewis Brown quotes Dr. Robert Pianta, dean of the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia for explaining what brings joy to the preschool teachers: “Most kindergarten teachers will tell you what they really value is the opportunity to

Choosing your school teach kids when they show up at school prepared and ready to learn,” he explains. “It’s not so much that teachers value that the kindergartner can read or write. They value that the children enjoy learning, have a set of experiences that got them used to a classroom setting, and know how to engage adults and kids in another setting.”

Pulling your child out of the school This is the disaster scenario: What if you picked the wrong school for your child? Is it better to leave the child where he or she is, or should you pull the child right away and switch schools in mid-term? On the Australian website www. essentialkids.com.au, Child Psychologist Sally-Anne McCormack says that in her opinion parents should in the first instance try to let the child stay at the school to show your child how to deal with difficult issues,

and get external help for the child. “If the child is anxious at the next school, then they may generalise and fear all schools. When we ‘flee’ anxietyprovoking situations, it confirms to us that the situation is meant to be feared. A parent needs to be certain as to whether the issue is with the child or with the environment before making a decision.” The schools willingness to discuss the problem is essential. A school’s lack of understanding and support will increase the problem, leaving you to deal with a distressed child who is being largely ignored by the staff. Not doing anything to help is only making matters worse, although you know that if you pull your child he or she will potentially end up with the same problems in a new environment. Though changing schools may seem like the obvious solution, the struggle many parents face is the potential emotional damage that this may do to their child. If the child has difficulty dealing with

Thailand Expat Guide

Choosing your school

change - the thought of changing schools will certainly cause more anxiety. There is always the fear of having the same problems at the new school, or worse problems. Child Psychologist Sally-Anne McCormack modifies her advise above, to stay at the school and seek help, by admitting that when there is no possibility of a resolution then you should of course move your child to another school. “It is not ‘giving up’, it is the acceptance of an unworkable situation,” she says. Sally-Anne suggests that when looking for a new school, parents should visit and make sure that the new school understands why you are moving. Maybe even more important than normally, you have to evaluate the new school carefully - neither you nor your child can afford another mistake. In particular she advises on visiting the new school during recess or lunchtime. “We see the children in their classrooms 50

Thailand Expat Guide

which gives a sense of how the classes are managed, and then at play periods we see the personalities of the students and get a sense of the community.” Sally-Anne also advises parents to ask a lot of questions that are non-directive and open. For example, rather than asking “do you cater for …?”, ask “what types of learning styles do you best cater for?” The key is assessing the school that best caters to the individual needs of your child, but the challenge is that these needs may not be obvious until after they have started school. Promises can be made, but when schools do not follow through, it can affect a child’s wellbeing and ability to learn. While school policies and ethos can seem great on paper, researching how these are implemented is essential, as Sally-Anne says “sadly in some schools these are just ‘dust-catching’ documents”.

Health care in Thailand

edical services in Thailand are generally praised by foreigners living here as of high standard and relatively affordable. In all the major tourist destinations, Thailand’s health care system provides both public and private hospitals or clinics staffed by well-trained doctors and nurses. An ambulance can be summoned from a private hospital in the case of an emergency. In Bangkok, Bumrungrad Hospital is considered as a provider of top quality medical treatment and with a service standard that may indeed make your hospital stay a great pleasure. Watch out that you have a valid health insurance or else it may be incredibly expensive. Accidents happen – and they can happen in the strangest places at the strangest times, like on the side of a mountain in Krabi or in an alley in Bangkok at 3am. Travel insurance can cover you for all sorts of mishaps during your travel. A special warning should be given to people who extend their stay beyond their initital planned vacation: Do not forget to also extend your insurance! Currently, there is a campaign for allowing Swedish residents in Thailand to be covered by an extension of their Swedish healthcare insurance from back home. However, it has not yet been approved. A word about vaccinations should be included here. Although vaccinations are recommended by the authorities in your home country. it is worth a thought that most people living in Thailand do not have these expensive vaccinations. If you’re planning on trekking or passing through the more remote areas then check out the

list of recommended vaccinations for visits to Thailand. Otherwise, consider not taking them.

Medical Tourism Thailand has over the past two decades emerged as a regional leader in what has been called Medical Tourism. It covers the full spectrum from expecting mothers traveling from Laos or Cambodia to give birth in Bangkok to major dental works and elaborate beautification operations like reducing belly fat and enlargement of - or creation of - female breasts. Unlike most Western countries, the cost of private medical treatment is cost effective. Treatments are usually cheaper than what it would be back home, plus you do not need to wait on long lists of other patients. One can just about get the procedure done “on arrival” and recover at one of Thailand’s many wonderful beach resorts - a pretty good offer to beat.

Health care in Thailand High marks are usually given Thai hospitals from embassies of many countries. Are there risks involved? Yes but this is true for any country. First there are many countries that have different diseases. Second there may not be a great avenue (if any) to lodge complaints. For each particular treatment, you should do your own research as to the possibility that things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as expected.

Health Care for Thais For Thai people, Thailand currently has three major healthcare schemes: The universal healthcare scheme, the healthbenefit part of the social-security scheme, and the healthcare programme for civil servants and their family members. The first programme covers about 48 million people, with per-head cost averaging 2,755 THB. In 2011, the scheme spent 101.057 billion THB on its members.

Thailand Expat Guide

The second programme covers 9.4 million subscribers, with per-head expenditure of 2,504 THB, and it spent 24.476 billion THB in 2011. The third scheme takes care of some 5 million civil servants and their families, with per-head expenditure at 14,123 THB per month. It spent t61.8 billion THB on its members in 2011. According to director of economic system management at the Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI), Dueanden Nikhomborirak, members of the social-security scheme seem to get the least medical benefits even though they make monthly contributions to the programme. Many health activists and consumer-protection advocates say that the benefits are less than even what is offered by the completely free universal healthcare system.

How to die in Thailand

f you die in Thailand and have not made arrangements in advance, you are the only person to blame for the big mess that you leave behind. In Thailand, it is necessary to report any death to the police within 24 hours. This is the case even if the death is expected such as after an illness or accident. The police are then responsible for contacting the appropriate Embassy, who will inform the relatives back home. The cause of death will have to be determined by the Examining Magistrate so the body will be sent to their department for examination. For a cause of death that is not suspicious the body is generally released to the family within three days of the examination. The death certificate will then be issued automatically by the office. If the cause of

death is deemed suspicious or as a result of possible criminal activity the body will be held pending investigation. When the body is released a civil registry death certificate and a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death certificate will be issued automatically by the office. The death is automatically registered in this way and there is no need for the family to visit the local registry office. The body will only be released once all medical bills and charges for hospital stays have been cleared.

Who wants your body? Every year, several of the Nordic expats, who die in Thailand, end up being cremated at a random monastery as unwanted bodies. This is not because their identities are not know - they have been identified,

How to die in Thailand but nobody out here and nobody back in the Nordics have any affection left for the deceased. So they inform the embassy that they are OK with the deceased being cremated along with other people with no relatives and the ashes scattered in the river. The cost of sending a body home is around 35.000 DKK. It includes embalming, a metal coffin and all documents needed. Sending an urn home is approximately 11.000 DKK, and once the ashes or body has arrived there will still be a funeral to pay for.

Who wants your money?

Thailand Expat Guide

If you leave anything behind of any value, the situation is quite different. According to rules in Scandinavia, the children that you leave behind must inherit a certain minimum of the estate. According to rules in Thailand, the Thai wife gets it all and the children nothing until she dies. Every year, the Nordic embassies face situations, where relatives from back home do not understand, why they do not inherit a single krone from their deceased parent. The embassies also witness situations where a Thai spouse gets absolutely nothing even though she was taking care of the deceased for the past many, many years. Unless she can prove to the court that they had joint earnings while living together she will have no right to the estate never mind how many years they lived unmarried - together. So ask yourself if your Thai spouse should inherit anything? If so, go and get married and register your permanent address in Thailand! Inform the authorities back home too. If you want her to be kicked out of your home, then you should of course not marry... If on the other hand you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want your Thai wife to take it all and give an Fâ&#x20AC;Ś finger to your children from a previous marriage

How to die in Thailand

back in your home country, the best thing you can do is to write and register a will. It is your own will and you can choose exactly who and what to include, as long as it is within the rules of the law on heritage. To make sure your will is valid in Thailand, you should have it translated and legalized by the Thai Foreign Ministry and your Nordic Embassy. If the will is made in your home country it must be translated and then legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of your own country. This company can help you: AsiaOne International Co, Ltd. web: www.asiaonethf.com

The rights of a relative If the deceased is registered with a permanent residence in Denmark, the Danish law of inheritance will apply. If your permanent address is in Thailand, Thai rules will apply. This means that if you have values in both countries, and your permanent address is in Thailand, the

inheritance will be distributed according to Thai rules and vice versa. Sometimes scenarios like this can be troubling to a family at home. For the Thai spouse, the most important document to obtain is the death certificate together with the Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Order appointing her the heir. The documents are used to get the corpse from the hospital, money from bank accounts and to get the deceased erased from the house registration book. The Thai death certificate can only be used in Scandinavia when translated and the Embassy and the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs have legalized it. If the Nordic relatives need a copy of the death certificate, they may get in touch with the Thai Embassy in their home country. The Embassyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consular service section will be able to help process your request to obtain a copy of a death certificate. If they are in Thailand, they can contact the Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 123 Chaeng Wattana Road, Bangkok 11120. Tel: +66 2 575 1054. ScandAsia Business Directory 2018

Thailand Expat Guide

Expat Calendar

raditionally, the year for expats in Thailand started in September when people were “back after the summer”. The year ended in June when it was time to “go back for the summer”. Although this pattern has its roots in old colonial British times, many expats still follow roughly that year and enjoy a long summer vacation back home before coming back for a long straight period of work during autumn, winter and spring. Many young people employed on local contracts - tend however to break away from the colonial expat life cycle and follow instead the Thai year with the main vacation around Songkran in April. The international schools follow the expat summer break rythm while local Thai schools follow the Thai calendar dating back to King Rama 6. According to that calendar, the new year starts on the 1st of April. So the students in a Thai school have year end exams in March and then go on a break until the school opens again in May.

Autumn in Thailand In September, back after the summer, you can look forward to a straight ten months in Thailand. During that time, a wide variety of events are being organized and offered by the social associations and the various business associations. One of the highlights in the autumn is the Crayfish Party organized by the Scandinavian Society Siam, usually the last Saturday in September or the first Saturday in October. SWEA and DWN has usually also a “welcome back” event. The same goes for the Scandinavian Expats in Pattaya and the Scandinavian associations in Hua Hin. Throughout the autumn and the following spring, the Norwegian Church in Pattaya keep up an impressive number

of well visited community events including of course the Sunday Christ services. The same is to a lesser extend the case for the Church of Sweden in Bangkok and Phuket On 24 December, Christmas Eve, many Scandinavians in Bangkok join the Nordic service in Christ Church with the gospel read in all four home languages plus sometimes even in Icelandic, too.

Spring in Thailand Spring in Thailand can be an extremely hot season until the Songkran water festival, when the monsoon changes and we get rain and cooler winds.. For the golfers, Amundsen’s Cup usually in January is a must. For the Norwegians, the annual Seafood Under the Stars-dinner is another highlight some weeks later. The spring is also the season for all the Annual General Meetings with selection of new members to head the different boards of directors, SWEA, TSCC and DTCC have their meetings in March, so does the the Nordic associations in Hua HIn, SSS hold their event in late April. The Thai-Finnish Chamber of Commerce - the first of the Nordic bussiness associations - hold their AGM in August. Many people feel that time goes faster in Thailand than back home. That is of course nonsense, but suddenly it is indeed June again and another year has gone. Time to go “back for the summer”. The calendar on scandasia.com gives the most comprehensive overview Nordic events. Other communities have similar online communities, where you can also subscribe to emails and join in chats. Much is also organised using the services for groups offered on Facebook.
