If you’re new here, start with the Pre-Departure Kit — it’s free, takes 8 minutes to read, and covers what every first-time European traveller wishes someone had told them.

The five paths

1. If you’re just dreaming

For people stuck in a Northern European winter who keep seeing Thailand reels on Instagram.

First articles coming this month.

2. If you’re on a budget

For travellers and slow-livers wondering whether €500 or €750 a month in Thailand is real (it is, in the right places).

First articles coming this month.

3. If you’re planning a trip

For tourists booking a 1, 2, or 4-week trip and wanting itineraries that aren’t recycled from 2019.

First articles coming this month.

4. If you’re moving long-term

For people seriously considering the DTV visa, tax residency, EU-specific paperwork, and what life actually costs after the first 90 days.

First articles coming this month.

5. If you already live there

For active DTV holders managing the recurring stuff: 90-day reporting, Thai bank accounts, tax filing for 180+ day stayers, long-stay apartments.

First articles coming this month.

The bigger picture

Most Thailand content online is written for an American audience. EU citizens have different visas, different tax treaties, different healthcare expectations, different banking realities. This site fills that gap.

We’re an independent publication. We make money two ways — affiliate referrals to services we’d recommend regardless, and digital products we sell directly (€15 itinerary packs, €29 guides, €49 workbooks). No sponsors, no paid placements, no advertising.
