Liked your post. My partner and I have moved about 16 times since we arrived in Thailand 11 years ago--starting with two moves when we lived in Rayong. We've managed to move twice in Bangkok and we don't even live there full-time. Since our arrival, we've been buying a condo, fixing it up, selling it, and moving on to the next one--which explains all our moves.
Most of our moves have been in Pattaya--at least a dozen--and we've been about all over the area--from south Jomtien to Wong Amat and about every point in between the two. Now, we are exploring the last frontier for us here--the Darkside. Recently we did our first house, on the Darkside, sold it, and have just started a renovation on a second one. Hopefully, this might be our last move--but we've said that before. Color us restless.
Moving can be stressful, no doubt about it. We attempt to make things easier by trying to always avoid having to do a quick move. We don't like the pressure of having to get everything moved in just a day or two so we usually arrange to have several weeks or more. We sell our properties mostly furnished so we are primarily moving some treasured antiques, artwork, decorative items, housewares, linens, and personal items. It's still a lot--but no large items like king beds, sofas, dining sets, etc.
Every item we always take with us on our moves can fit into our large SUV--although a move takes numerous trips back and forth. We don't have to rent a moving truck and we do the moves ourselves, taking our time. One of the best things about moving so often is it has kept us from accumulating a lot of useless stuff that we don't really need or use--although some items I consider useless have inexplicably made the cut move after move.
When my parents retired from living around the World they bought a retirement house, never moved in over 38 years of retirement, and accumulated a ton of stuff--they never threw away anything on the dubious theory that they 'might need it sometime'. If nothing else, my partner and I are not pack rats. Good luck with your move (s).
