Education and home decisions should be planned together

International-school admissions, traffic, school transport, workplace location and housing budget are closely connected. AusThai can coordinate these decisions as one relocation plan rather than separate tasks.

  • Compare British, Australian, American, IB, bilingual and other curricula
  • Review fees, admissions, year placement, facilities and transport
  • Organise school meetings and campus tours
  • Shortlist homes and neighbourhoods around the final school and work locations

Primary personal coverage throughout Thailand

Personal and family services are centred on Thailand, including Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya and the Eastern Seaboard, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, Koh Samui and other regional locations by arrangement.
