Thailand is one of the most friendly countries not only to tourists, but also to those who decided to stay here. If you liked you to rest in the country of smiles, then you can linger here. But first will have to understand that rest and permanent residence are still seriously different and you will have to face a number of difficulties.
1
Choose to accommodate the city and resorts, where many tourists, here the population often speaks English fluently. To learn Thai language is an extremely difficult task, even if there are ability to foreign languages \u200b\u200band you will pay a lion's share of time, it does not mean that you will be able to master the language at any serious level. Even teaching taught in special schools admit that they practically do not understand their students trying to speak in a local language.

The second, what you need to think before starting moving, is what you are going to do in Thailand. Again, from practical considerations, it is better to choose large resort towns - here is more likely to find a job visit. Basically, this is a job as a guide, the opening of your own business is often a restaurant, real estate work as an agent. If you have an initial capital, then you can purchase one or more apartments and take them to tourists. Also freely can move the happy owners of professions that do not require constant presence in the office with the ability to work remotely.
3
Many professions are simply unavailable at the legislative level. But it is not necessary to do business here, however, the entrepreneur must provide 4 Thai jobs to one foreigner. In addition, you will need to familiarize yourself with local tax legislation, explore the demand for goods and services. It is best to communicate directly with compatriots who have been doing business for some time in Thailand, because local lawyers who call you help will hold you along the long way, forcing you to spend a lot of extra time and money.
4
Find a permanent accommodation - either purchase the property, which is profitable, but not everyone is available, as it requires one-time and large cash costs. Or rent an apartment - best for a long time, so the price will be lower. Note that in Thailand there is quite expensive water and electricity. Choose housing not on the first line - first, it is cheaper, secondly, calmer. Do not hurry to give up real estate in your homeland if something goes contrary to the plans, you will be going back. And the apartment was leased, can be a good source of income, in case you will not immediately manage to get a job at a new place of residence.
5
Take care of a visa at which you are going to stay in Thailand - it can easily be issued in Russia, and in Thailand itself. A visa-free stay ends in 30 days. There are visas for 3, 6, 12 months. You can arrange a working visa or training - however, in this case you will have to attend study. A residence permit is somewhat more complicated, but with him first time you can not hurry, as Thais is loyal to visitors who constantly live on the territory of the country on a visa.
6
Despite the fact that public transport is developed in the tourist cities, it is still a movement for tourists. Constantly living in Thailand, it's easier to purchase or rent your own transport. Due to the plugs, it is better to give preference to the bike. Just keep in mind that Russian rights do not act here, it is necessary to either get Thai - passing the exam, or be ready to constantly pay fines. In addition, keep in mind that the movement in Thailand is left-hand, so the accident involving tourists is not uncommon.
If you are not entirely prepared for moving to Thailand, go to the winter, taking a long vacation at work and without burning bridges thoroughly. Try to get on the spot and check your hand, also do well the financial side of the question, consider where your children will learn, as the issue of education will sooner or later stand in front of you. And then decide whether to change the usual Russia for a favorable climate in an unfamiliar country.
