About Modern Expat Magazine
Modern Expat Magazine is an independent Thailand publication reported from Phuket. We cover daily life, property, culture and events.
Real people, real stories
Moving abroad is exciting and disorienting. Modern Expat began with first-hand reporting from Phuket and Thailand: the founders, freelancers, families, businesses and friendships behind the relocation headlines. That remains our deepest locally reported coverage.
Our earlier worldwide city and country guides remain available as a clearly labelled archive. New editorial work is Thailand-focused: stories and interviews capture lived experience, while practical guides explain the legal, property, healthcare, transport and community systems behind a move.
What We Cover
Locally grounded reporting
First-hand Thailand coverage and honest conversations with people building lives abroad.
Connection beyond the screen
The local scenes, recurring activities and events that help a new place become home.
Existing guides remain available
Earlier country and city guides stay online for readers and search history, but they are no longer the magazine's active publishing focus.
