เก็บชีวิตใส่กระเป๋าไม่กี่ใบ ย้ายตามสามีมาเริ่มต้นที่แอดิเลด

After lodging a spouse visa from Thailand and waiting a long time, the day it was finally granted felt both joyful and wrenching. Khun Aor decided to resign from the steady job she had held for years so she could pack up and follow her husband to start a new life in Adelaide. She says her biggest worry was not homesickness but the fiddly details no one warns you about: which key documents had to be translated and certified by the consulate before flying, exactly what versions of her marriage certificate and record documents to prepare, and how to move an entire life when the airline only allowed twenty kilos of checked baggage. Clothes and treasured belongings had to be sorted over and over into what was truly essential and what had to be left behind. So she turned to an online Thai community to ask anyone who had been through it for advice, because following a spouse is not only about love, there is a mountain of paperwork and big decisions waiting at the other end.
