Yantantether, we didn't mean to ignore you. We are just processing a lot of info from a lot of different people. I believe another poster recommended renting a car. I think we will probably try and rent until we get all settled.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the responses. Sounds like a used car is out of the question. It seems like everything else is very reasonably priced.

No, not NIST. But I hear it is a pretty good school.

Thanks to all!

Thanks for the feedback. That amount is post tax. Is it necessary to purchase a car if you have small children? Are cars reasonably priced? Even used cars appear to be quite expensive based on the online websites.

Thanks for the link Inman. Do you know of a good website for used cars? Is it better to purchase new?

Thanks!

Thank you for responding!

Can a family of 4 make do in Bangkok on one salary of 170000baht per month? plus 50,000baht for housing? What type of place can we rent for 50,000baht. Can we manage to save anything on that salary? Kids are too young for school, so no tuition issues.

Thank you!
