Meet Teresa, our Head of Local Services 🇹🇭
Whether it’s a driving licence, insurance, accommodation, a border run, or something a little more unusual, Teresa and our Local Services team help clients navigate the practical side of living in Thailand.
But today, we wanted you to get to know the person behind the role.
We asked Teresa about her work, what she enjoys most about helping people settle here, her advice for anyone moving to Thailand, and a little about her life outside of work.
Q: What does your role as Head of Local Services involve?
A: “My role is basically helping make life in Thailand easier for our clients. I manage our Local Services team, work with our partners, and help clients with all the practical things they might need while living, working, or settling here.
A lot of it is problem-solving and finding the right solution for each person.”
Q: What’s something people are often surprised that Solutions Thailand can help with?
A: “Probably how many different things they can actually ask us about! Sometimes a client comes to us for one thing, like a visa, and then realizes we can also help with their driving licence, insurance, finding a place to live, getting around Thailand, or other things they need once they're here.
If we're not sure, we'll usually try to find out rather than just saying no.”
Q: What do you enjoy most about helping people settle into life in Thailand?
A: “I think it’s the human side of it. Moving to another country can be exciting, but it can also be confusing when you don’t know how things work or who to ask.
I like being that person who can make things a little easier. It feels good when someone comes to us stressed about something and leaves feeling like, ‘Okay, I’ve got this.’”
Q: What’s one piece of advice you’d give someone moving to Thailand?
A: “Don’t expect everything to work exactly the way it does back home! Be patient, stay open-minded, ask questions, and give yourself time to understand how things work here.
Thailand is an amazing place to live when you learn to go with the flow a little.”
Q: Outside of work, what do you enjoy doing?
A: “I’m quite a creative person. I love painting, writing poetry, making art, travelling, and spending time in nature. I also really enjoy learning about psychology, spirituality, people, and understanding why we are the way we are. Recently, I’ve been getting more into filmmaking and storytelling too.
I also love volunteering and helping children in different communities. Helping others and sharing a little love wherever I can is something that means a lot to me.
And a fun fact about me: I always carry notebooks of different sizes in my bag, because whenever a new idea comes to me, I need somewhere to write it down. 😊”
