| FOREIGNERS new to Thailand and wanting to settle here often find this country and its bureaucracy extremely confusing. From getting the appropriate visa and work permit to setting up a company, paying taxes and simply getting everything as right as possible, it is a minefield. Some of the best advice comes from a fellow foreigner who has already established a foothold on all things Thai. Better still, get advice from several foreigners who know the ropes. This is where Bangkok Expat Experts (BEE) comes in really handy. Comprising eight expatriates with almost 150 years’ experience of living and doing business in Thailand between them, BEE offers free advice on the most pressing subjects and key areas of life here. |  |
Explains one of the founder members, Tom Bishop: “The industries covered are varied and cover a lot of what people need – whether they are already established here or newcomers. There are so many ‘experts’ in Bangkok, but we aim to clarify things for people and keep it simple.
“We are expanding our network by appearing on other websites and Facebook pages from popular social venues in Bangkok.”
The group meets every Wednesday from 6.30pm to 8.30pm at the Queen Bee, in Sukhumvit Soi 26, opposite the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel.
The Bangkok Expat Experts will be at the 18th Annual Living in Bangkok Fair to be held at Bumrungrad Hospital, from 9am to 5pm on Saturday, September 10.
