Housing & property buying & selling & legal aspects; Travel & holiday guides

Find peace, purpose, and possibility in Thailand.

Are the rising costs and pace of life in the West wearing you down? Are you considering Southeast Asia as a place to call home, at least for a while?

Whether you're ready to put down roots abroad or start a new adventure in an exotic country, Thailand may be the change you've been searching for.

But moving here isn't just about exploring beaches and delicious cuisine. If you're serious about making Thailand your home (or perhaps you just made the move), there are helpful things to know about the culture, people, and legal residency. Not to mention everyday practicalities-like choosing a locale, opening a bank account, and deciding which items you'll need to bring from home.

That's where this book comes in.

Written by Mark Friedman, a long-time expat and founder of the Bangkok-based immigration firm Baan Thai Immigration Solutions, Make Thailand Home gives you an insightful and practical roadmap to building a life you love in the Kingdom.

Through Mark's personal experience and work helping hundreds of newcomers settle in, you'll learn how to:

Choose the right visa: whether you're a retiree, digital nomad, or adventure-seeker Stay long-term: from one year to permanent residency or even citizenship Tap into Thailand's secret benefits: like affordable healthcare and greater personal freedom Fit in like a local: adapt to cultural norms with confidence and avoid faux pas Build a robust life:

from opening a business to buying a home or condo

You'll also hear from five successful expats who share their wisdom about how they made the leap and thrived in the Kingdom. These experiences will help you peek around the corner, enabling you to settle into your new home country while avoiding common pitfalls every expat wishes they'd known at the beginning of their journey.

If you've been dreaming about a simpler, easier, and more adventurous life abroad, this is your entryway.

Buy Make Thailand Home today and take the first step toward your life's next chapter.
