Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for people landing in Chiang Mai — or planning the move.
A cultural center and meeting point for Brazilians in Chiang Mai — and for Thais curious about Brazil. Activities are organized around six areas (Education, Culture, Sports, Events, Gastronomy and Mobility), all designed to strengthen the Brazilian community here in Thailand.
Nothing right now. We're mapping interest and building the community base before defining any membership format. If you sign up and tick the box saying you want to be part of the project, we'll reach out when that stage starts.
Not to take part in Casa Brasil — we speak Portuguese among Brazilians. For day-to-day life in Chiang Mai, basic English opens almost everything (apps, malls, private hospitals). Thai helps a lot at street markets, public schools and paperwork.
Sign up in the area that interests you most (Education, Events, Sports, etc.). Laira reads every entry and replies directly — from there you join the area's group and stay in the loop.
Yes — we have a dedicated families group with a Brazilian pedagogue in Education, monthly reading circles and an active exchange about international, bilingual and homeschooling options. Speaking Portuguese at home is the single biggest factor protecting fluency in your kids.
Start with the Guide (in the footer) — it covers visas, cost of living, schools, remote work and local culture. Then sign up in the Mobility area so we can help with an arrival checklist, plus the area that best matches the life you're building here.
We're building this together.
Every sign-up helps us understand where to begin. If the project speaks to you, leave your interest in any of the areas — and tick the box if you want to be part of Casa Brasil in the future.
