Welcome to Soul Thai, your ultimate guide to healing, relocating, and thriving in Thailand! This episode provides a clear breakdown of the financial essentials needed to move from the US to Thailand. We cover everything from typical flight costs and various visa options like education, retirement, and elite visas, to initial housing expenses in cities like Chiang Mai. Learn about recommended savings cushions ($5,000-$10,000 per adult) to cover living costs for several months, and strategies for establishing ongoing income through remote work, freelancing, or digital businesses. Discover how the Soul Thai Fellowship helps remove financial barriers with donor-funded support, including flights, housing stipends, and weekly dinners.
