About My Thai Buddy
Your Trusted Partner for Bangkok Living & Property Management
Why We Started My Thai Buddy
My Thai Buddy was born from frustration.
After moving to Bangkok in 2019, our founder quickly discovered that being a Western property owner or expat here means navigating a maze of challenges most locals never face:
- Language barriers that turn simple tasks into all-day ordeals
- Property managers who ghost you or don't understand Airbnb optimization
- Visa agents who overcomplicate processes to justify inflated fees
- Service providers who quote "farang prices" the moment they hear your accent
Our founder watched expat friends waste thousands on subpar property management, saw newcomers get scammed on apartment deposits, and experienced firsthand how confusing Thai bureaucracy becomes when you can't read the language.
There had to be a better way.
That's why our founder established My Thai Buddy - to be the service they wish they'd had when first arriving in Bangkok. Someone who speaks both languages, understands both cultures, and actually cares about maximizing your income or smoothing your transition.
Our Mission Today
We bridge the gap between Western expectations and Thai realities - whether you're managing rental properties remotely, relocating to Bangkok, or navigating visa paperwork.
We serve property owners and expats throughout Bangkok by combining Western communication standards with deep Thai local knowledge. No more wondering if you're getting ripped off. No more losing money to inefficient management. No more Google Translate disasters at immigration.
Just honest, professional service that actually works for Westerners in Bangkok.

Why We're Different
Personal, Not Impersonal
Unlike large property management companies, we treat every property and client relationship personally. Direct communication with owners (not call centers), consistent quality, and quick response times.
Systematic, Not Solo
Unlike solo operators, we have systems and backup support to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Our small size means flexibility, while our processes ensure reliability.
Bi-Cultural Understanding
We truly understand both sides - Western expectations and Thai realities. This unique perspective ensures smooth communication and operations across both cultures.
Service Areas
We provide property management and expat services throughout all of Bangkok.
Our most popular service areas include Sukhumvit, Silom/Sathorn, Ari, and Riverside - but we're equipped to manage properties and assist expats anywhere in the city. Contact us to discuss your specific location.
