網友問題：怎麼有勇氣外派泰國?
Reader's Question：想知道你是憑著什麼衝勁與勇氣赴泰工作呢？ 本身自己有經濟壓力，年紀也30多歲，很怕泰國工作不如自己想像的好找與適合，遲遲不太敢下這個決定，若決定了，就得辭掉台灣現有的工作
我的回覆：決定前往泰國工作的評估思考過程
可以理解網友的這些考慮點，分三部分說明我當時選擇外派泰國的實質及心態上的評估：
1. 實質專業能力方面
外派泰國工作主要需要考量兩部分： 第一，有什麼專業能力是泰國台商需要你的，例如：專業知識、業務能力或語言等；你有泰國海外工作的五大必要專業優勢嗎？ 第二，是否可以承受長期離開台灣。經濟方面的話倒還好解決，因為外派薪資待遇通常比台灣好。
2. 心態準備方面
不少網友提到怕泰國工作不如自己想像好或適不適合，我覺得任何工作都是去了才自己想辦法調整，跨出去就對了。我當初會來，其實就是一個念頭：【人生就短短幾十年，想做就衝了，不要留下任何後悔的念頭！】所以我就來了！ 另外，來了泰國後，又學到了一課：泰國人的薪資超級低，一個月才一萬台幣上下，但他們也是結婚養兩三個小孩，仍然活的怡然自得！ 其實如何生活、工作好壞、如何應對，都是個人當時心態調整而已，不用過於擔心經濟壓力；何況，外派泰國薪資一般都還比在台灣的薪水高呢。 做好實質＆心理評估，就能輕鬆做出是否自己適合外派泰國的決定了。
3.泰國外派周遭生活方面：工作/生活/簽證/育兒等
隨著我這幾年外派經驗累積，泰國外派後會遇到的生活評估，整理了一篇泰國長期發展在這：Considering Long-Term Career Development in Thailand as an Expat；也有各種泰式日常觀察：泰國人日常 I、Everyday Life in Thailand II、融入泰國當地秘訣. 以上泰國生活相關資訊，新手外派評估時可一併看看，知道到了海外，未來會發生什麼事，適不適合自己，同時加入思考。
