Mission
The life of an expatriate woman in Bangkok is complex. While she enjoys comforts and luxuries that she might never have experienced in her home country, she also faces issues and challenges that she never would have encountered.
The expatriate woman who decides to follow her husband’s career is an adventurer. She boldly goes into new countries and cultures with no safety net. As he heads off to work, and the kids head off to school, she is left to manage life. She navigates the foreign waters, figuring out how to buy groceries, how to get things repaired, which restaurants will make the best spots for entertaining business visitors, whether the water is safe to drink, and the million other little details that will make life for her family comfortable and secure.
And along the way, she loses herself a bit: the career she left behind and the colleagues who respected her intelligence and accomplishments; the friends who admired her strength and sense of humor; the family and community who always provided a safe haven for her when she needed just a little bit of support. She starts anew every time she relocates, with no one knowing anything about her except who her husband works for.
Acclimate gets it. We understand the struggle, because we’ve experienced it ourselves. We address the issues of identity loss and readjustment, while helping expatriate women find their own passions and their own best life in Bangkok. We offer inspirational stories from women in our community who have managed to find their way through unbelievable trials. And we never forget about the small stuff that makes life just a little easier, like where to get a great haircut, or where to go for the best foot massage.
Acclimate makes it a little easier for expatriate women to find their best life in Bangkok.
