Dear parents and children, the senior has prepared a detailed memo of travel preparations and important events 

after entering the country for everyone here, to give you a helping hand and help you avoid detours! Especially 

for parents who are accompanying their children abroad for the first time, this guide is definitely worth collecting

Key Points of Luggage Preparation

When traveling abroad, luggage preparation is of vital importance. Although most daily necessities can be bought in Thailand, there are a few things not to forget to bring:

Black leather shoes: To meet the requirements of formal occasions and some British schools, it is recommended

 to purchase a pair of black leather shoes. The available styles in Thailand may not be as diverse as those in China.

Important documents: notarized double-certified certificates, birth certificates and other important documents, 

all of which are indispensable when applying for a long-term visa.

Transshipment and Online shopping

For large items or those that need to be purchased online from within the country, you can make use 

of the consolidated shipping company's service. Generally, they can arrive within two weeks.

Recommended consolidated shipping companies: Happy Consolidated Shipping and Mango Consolidated Shipping. They can be easily operated in the mini-program.

Communication service

In Thailand, major communication operators such as AIS and Truemove can be seen everywhere in shopping malls.

 You can easily sign up for packages with your passport. In addition, the 1,890 Thai baht annual package launched by China Mobile is also a good choice.

Payment method

Although large shopping malls and convenience stores such as 7-Eleven in Thailand support wechat and Alipay, getting a 

Thai bank card can enable more convenient mobile payments (such as for street vendors, etc.). Don't forget to open an 

account as soon as possible after entering the country to handle the deposit certificate required for the subsequent visa transfer.

Means of transportation

Maps and taxi-hailing apps: Google Maps is recommended for maps. Grab or Bolt are recommended for travel apps. 

Grab has more functions and you can also order takeout. Bolt offers more favorable prices for taxi-hailing.

Car rental and purchase: For car rental, it is recommended to choose the local TBR company. If you choose to buy a car,

 Japanese brands or looking in the second-hand market are both good options.

Driver's license renewal

To drive in Thailand, one must hold a Thai driver's license. You can bring the relevant materials to the transportation bureau to handle it, 

and the Thai driver's license can also be used in some English-speaking countries.

Precautions after entry

24-hour registration (TM30) : A necessary step for obtaining proof of address and renewal.

3-month short-term visa: Apply for a 1-year long-term visa 15 days in advance 45 days after entry. If necessary,

 you can also apply for a return visa at the same time.

90-day report: First offline, then online is an option.

Matters concerning physical examination

The entrance physical examination can be completed either at home or abroad, but it is necessary to ensure that the doctor can fill in the English form.

The above are the pre-enrollment tips for international schools in Thailand carefully prepared by the senior for everyone. 

It is hoped that every parent and child can have a pleasant study and life in Thailand.
