Y'all are welcome. I don't mean to rain on the OP's parade, but here are some recommendations for people considering a move to Thailand:
Thailand Teaching Asia (my forum) - for those who are looking to move to Thailand to live and work legally in Thailand. This is a site I started and administer. The moderating team are all professional teachers or teacher trainers. We also have great information on Thailand visas.
Teakdoor - an excellent site for those wishing to live in Thailand. Great sections on housing, travel, and visa information. It can get a little rough there.
Ajarn Forum - IMO, it used to be good but has now degenerated into a place where the dregs of the world congregate. Most of their information is rather outdated. It is, however, still the most popular of the ex-pat sites and their sister site (www.ajarn.com) has an excellent jobs board.
Thai Visa still has excellent legal information.
And for those who have questions, I will be more than happy to help.
