About the author

Thom — Keyframe5

I was born in Thailand to Thai parents and grew up in Canada. I have a Thai name, a Thai house registration, and I am a Thai citizen by birth but I know exactly what it's like to arrive here from the West, because I did it too.

I spent years visiting Thailand and the region as a tourist, then in 2015 I sold everything, left Canada, and moved back for good. After more than ten years living here full-time, I've seen both sides: Thailand as a tourist, and Thailand as a long-term resident. They are two very different places, and most guides only show you one.

I'm fluent in English, and I also speak Isaan and central Thai — so I can reach people most foreigners never can. The Keyframe5 YouTube channel has grown past 70,000 subscribers. Thailand Insider is the practical setup guide I wish more foreigners had before they arrived: the parts of visas, money, housing, healthcare, transport, and daily life that are hard to explain fully in short YouTube videos.
