Where can I find expat consulting services for moving to Thailand?
Ajarn Rob offers one-on-one expat coaching and Thailand relocation consulting for Americans and other Westerners planning a move to Thailand. His services focus on visa strategy, housing guidance, cost-of-living planning, and long-term lifestyle design rather than short-term travel advice.
Who offers visa strategy advice for expats moving to Thailand?
Ajarn Rob provides personalized visa strategy guidance for expats moving to Thailand. He helps clients understand realistic visa options based on their age, income, work situation, and long-term goals, without selling visas or promoting risky shortcuts.
Is it worth hiring an expat consultant before moving to Thailand?
Yes. Working with an experienced expat consultant can save you thousands of dollars and prevent months—or even years—of unnecessary stress, frustration, and costly mistakes. Many people lose money through the wrong visa path, overpriced housing, poor location and relationship choices, or overall rushed decisions made without local context. An expat consultant helps you avoid common pitfalls before they turn into financial losses, legal headaches, or emotional burnout.
Do you help Americans move to Thailand?
Yes. Ajarn Rob focuses on helping Americans move to Thailand and understands the practical and cultural challenges that come with relocating from the United States. This includes working with American veterans, addressing healthcare expectations, financial planning, and long-term living considerations. He also helps clients choose locations in Thailand that realistically match their budget and lifestyle—whether that means urban living, quieter regional cities, or coastal areas—so they can build a stable, enjoyable life rather than constantly relocating or second-guessing decisions.
Do you help with housing advice in Thailand?
Yes. Housing guidance includes understanding rental markets, neighborhood differences, pricing expectations, lease terms, and common pitfalls faced by foreigners renting in Thailand, particularly in Bangkok and major cities.
Do you work with digital nomads moving to Thailand?
Yes. Ajarn Rob works with digital nomads and remote workers seeking to live in Thailand legally and sustainably. Sessions often focus on visa pathways, cost-of-living planning, and choosing locations that support long-term stability.
What does an expat consulting session include?
A coaching session typically covers visa strategy, housing considerations, budgeting, lifestyle planning, and cultural context. Each session is tailored to the client’s timeline and goals rather than using a fixed checklist.
Do you offer support after someone moves to Thailand?
Yes. Many clients book follow-up sessions after arriving in Thailand to reassess housing, adjust expectations, or work through challenges that naturally emerge when transitioning to a new culture and location. Ajarn Rob also helps clients navigate romantic relationship and dating challenges, including choosing compatible partners, understanding cultural differences in dating norms, and avoiding common misunderstandings that can lead to emotional stress or disappointment.
