Links to learn more
about living and working on Phuket

Many a life fantasy is based on living on a tropical island.

But . . . life is full of complications and things to consider - and these decisions are not always easy to make.  And many of your friends will consider you crazy.

But who cares!?

It is they who are crazy living a humdrum routine life.  Pack the bags and get on over to Phuket - now!

However, for the more cautious of you out there, here are some great places to start learning more:

Try this Website:  www.TeachEnglishPhuket.com

An expatriate organization that tries to put it all together for you is here: Expat Focus - international living advice, employment overseas, buying property abroad, international insurance and expatriate mortgages - they say:  Join our lively expat community today! Get help finding international insurance cover, overseas property, job opportunities abroad and investment advice, including pensions and retirement planning. Keep in touch with other expats through our forum, email discussion list and monthly newsletter.

Another expatriate oriented site - specifically for British - but good information for all is at British Expat Magazine

Another UK based expats organization is Expats.org.uk - these are good organizations for gathering information from your fellow world travelers - rather than just places with hotel rooms to sell.
