International Schools
Due to the extensive "Foreign" work force employed in Thailand
with company's such as GM and BMW having major manufacturing
plants here in the Eastern Seaboard region, there's no shortage
of fine International Schools. We can advise you on the current
curriculums, accreditation, reputation, transportation and
school fee structure.
International Hospitals
The Eastern Seaboard is very fortunate in having several
extremely well equipped, world class hospitals, including
Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, Pattaya International Hospital and in
Bangkok the famous Bumrungrad Hospital. We can provide you with
an assessment of the benefits of each of these hospitals,
introduce you to the staff, and register you with the hospitals.
Banks and Financial Institutions
We can advise you on the advantages and disadvantages of the
various local banks together with the foreign banks that exist
in Thailand. We will advise you on the necessities of a Tor Tor
3, and other local banking requirements. We can arrange
appointments for you to meet with bank staff and assist you in
opening bank accounts with your chosen bank.
Lawyers and the Law
While the law in Thailand has to a large extent borrowed from
Western 'legalise', the biggest problem is that all government
documents are prepared in the Thai language. We can introduce
you to respected and trusted law firms in the region to assist
you with any legal requirements you may have.
Post Office and Utilities
We will also introduce you to the Post Office, ISP's, Telephone
Authority, Electrical Authority and Water Supply Authority
locations and procedures, as failure to pay any of their bills
on time can result in the service being cut swiftly.
TV Service Providers
Local Television is broadcast in Thai language, so you will most
likely want to consider the UBC Satellite TV and Sophon Cable TV
operators. Between them they offer well over 100 channels in
English, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese and
Indian languages. Subscription prices are very reasonable and
services are quiet good.
Transportation
Pattaya has many choices of taxi service from motorbike taxis,
Songtow's (pickup trucks), private hire limos and buses. We can
advise you on the rental or purchase of a motor vehicle, and
assist you in obtaining a Thai Driver's license. We can also
provide you with maps of the area, and details on motor vehicle
insurance requirements.

foreign operated grocer shops, delicatessens, butchers and
continental bakers for all those special needs. So if it's your
favourite breakfast cereal from back home, fresh bread or frozen
foods, or that special coffee you love, we can show you the best
places to shop for your food and grocery needs.
