Bangkok is a vibrant city full of life. From the fascinating culture to the friendly people, living in
the Thai capital is an enriching experience.

Expats often find that many things (such as electrical goods, entertainment, living and eating
expenses) are much less expensive in Thailand than in their home country. There are restaurants to suit
every budget and the many street stalls make it possible to enjoy authentic Thai food at a very low
price.

Thailand’s culture is a rich experience for all of the senses, much like Bangkok itself. Among the
rising steel and glass structures of shopping malls, hotels and offices, expats will find temples, revered
Buddha images and Spirit Houses with offerings piled high, jasmine garlands aplenty and incense
burning day and night. Thai people are very welcoming of foreigners visiting and living in their
country, so respect of their cultures and traditions will go a long way.
33. ________
Visiting a hospital or dentist in Bangkok is like walking through the doors of an expensive hotel
without dreading the bill afterwards. Most hospitals are very easy to get to. After registering, the
patient will be seen to very quickly with the relevant tests undertaken in a timely and efficient manner.
Securing a consultation with a specialist doctor is also relatively easy.
34. ________
Travelling around Bangkok is cheap, with taxis' fare dependent on the traffic and the distance
driven with the meter on. Expats should make an effort to get acquainted with Bangkok’s public
transport, as it is very good. There’s a BIS, often referred to as the Skytrain, as well as the MR.T or
underground, not to mention buses, tuk-tuks, taxis, and motorbike taxis.
35. ________
There is an endless variety of shopping experiences all over the city which cater to all sorts oi
budgets. These are easily accessed via public transport and are open 24/7. From the Chatuchak
Weekend Market, Pratunam Market, and Platinum Shopping Malls that are perfect those looking for a
bargain, to the high- end shopping malls of Siam Paragon, Central World and Central Chidlom, where
just about anything can be bought - from designer fashion to electronics, home decor and even cars!
