moving to Bangkok from the US

I have the opportunity to move to Bangkok from the US with my husband and 6 year old. What should I consider? Where should we look for housing? what school is the best?

Thailand is great so I think you should take the opportunity. If you are looking for housing in Bangkok there are many places but a many of these property companies are so so. There is one I have heard of http://www.bangkokcondofinder.com, they are supposedly very good. For schools there are many good but I'm afraid I have nothing to recommend. Good luck

2 main location which are popular for expat are Sathorn and Sukhumvij area.

There are several school located in both Sathorn and sukhumvit area. I will post the link below. Obviously all these school does provide transportation (school bus) if you live in Sathorn or sukhumvij area.

Thanks for the replies. We have decided on Sukhumvit and NIST. We really wanted to be in town and not the suburbs so that made the school decision much easier!
