Support My Work

Ever since I started TTL in 2008, I have been on a mission to help others live their Thailand dream in the most prosperous way possible.

Whether you're a frequent visitor, expat, or retiree, my goal is to give you all the information you need to make your experience as smooth and happy as possible.

Of course, I don't ever expect you to pay to read my content, but occasionally a reader asks if they can say “thank you” by supporting my efforts.

I really appreciate this, as it takes anywhere from 4-8 hours to write a post – depending on the subject and research required – not to mention updating posts,  answering comments and maintaining the website.

Please don't feel obliged, though, it's totally optional. I'll carry on writing my blog and delivering the monthly newsletter for you anyway.

If you do want to show me some love, you can do so in one of two ways:

1. Monthly Support:

I have a Patreon account where you can support me with a monthly donation from as little as $1 a month. Doing so means you can drop me personal messages directly and I'll answer them as quickly as possible.

2. One Off Donation:

There's a cool site called Buy Me a Coffee, which enables you to do to just that :).

Thank you for your generosity.

Hi! I’m Peter. I’ve been living & traveling in Thailand for 14 years. I’m here to give you all the information you need to make your Thai adventure safe, happy, & successful.

Recommended Thailand Services

I get a lot of requests for recommendations on services related to living in Thailand. To make things easier for you, I’ve compiled a list of those I use below.

Learning Thai

Thaipod101 is the best way to learn Thai online. It's how I started learning. They have hundreds of video and audio lessons to help you start speaking Thai today. Start free here.

Sending Money

Wise is the cheapest and fastest way to send money to Thailand. I use it and so do many of my readers. Go here to get your first transfer free.

Financial Planning

Whether you need life insurance, pension planning or other investment advice, I can connect you with my personal IFA. Simply fill out this form.

Health Insurance

I recommend getting a quote from Cigna for international Insurance, and then comparing that with local insurance premiums on Mr Prakan.

Travel Services

Hotels: Agoda offers good deals on hotels in Thailand. This is because they are located in the region and secure lots of special promotions. It's also worth trying Booking.com and Hotels.com for comparison.

Travel Insurance: SafetyWing is great for trips to Thailand and elsewhere. I've used them many times. If you're from the UK/Europe you can also try True Traveller.

Over 70? Insure My Trip. has policies for those struggling to find travel insurance cover due to age restrictions.

Bank Account

Need an international bank account that holds multiple currencies and lets you transfer, receive & spend wherever you are, with a MasterCard. I've used one for 4 years. Check out Wise.

Rent / Buy Property

Looking for an apartment to rent or a home to buy? For the largest selection of properties in Thailand, and a completely free service, visit PropertyScout here.

Data Security

To keep your data secure you should use a VPN when using public WIFI and when accessing internet banking and other sensitive information online. I use both Vypr VPN and Nord VPN.
