Rent..don't buy. We are all sick of saying it.

RENT is better than paying lots of money for something you don't own.

Talk to Indo-Siam about assisting with your relocation and good luck.

Keep your assets in the UK. Come for a trial period to check it out first hand for yourself. It is the best way. As far as I know Samui would not meet the education requirements for yuor children. You may b3e better off in Phuket for that sort of thing, but it would be more expensive for everything.

I've emailed some schools in samui but waiting for replies, we had thought about taking a teacher with us but Phuket could be worth a look.

Dare I say it....I cannot see a window of opportunity for anything like a visa to fit your idea. Feel free to email me for private advice if you want to

I understand an intl school is opening on Samui soon, can't remember which one but one of the big ones. Also, there is a catholic school there that has quite a good reputation if you don't mind a religious education, that is!

But renting is sound advice and before that sorting out visa issues would have to be top of the list. If you can't get visas for all of you then everything else is irrelevant.

The Dulwich school that operates in Phuket is planning to open a school. I've bought a house in Samui from a company called coco www.cocosamui.com

Both English guys and seem straight up. There worth a visit even just for advice and there is no high pressure sales pitch. I saw most of the developers on the Island and coco was the best for me. They didn't sell me the house, it was seeing one they had built that convinced me
