Bangkokians (?) - please help, pros and cons

[MaybeBKK]

I need to make a decision soon on Bangkok and I'm feeling sick about it. I can't decide!
Have 3 kids (2 teens and 1 primary)
I'll have a good salary, school fees mostly covered (so can afford the good ones: looking at ISB, Patana, NIST)
What are the pros and cons from those in the know? Please help!

Pros:

• Very child-friendly (though not buggy-friendly)
• Great location for holidaying, e.g. Thai islands, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, HK, plus other places a little further that you might not do from the UK but might from here e.g. India
• Lots of good schools (the ones you're considering are v good)
• Big, diverse expat community
• FOOD!
• Great medical care with insurance, probably provided by your employer
• Affordable home help (game changer in my experience!)
• Good public transport in the city (BTS and MRT are clean, safe, air conditioned)
• It's safe; I have never once felt unsafe even when walking alone at night
• People are mostly super helpful, despite language barrier e.g. our guards come at the drop of a hat if we have a snake or monitor lizard in our garden
• The weather, if you like hot and humid

Cons:

• The weather, if you don't like hot and humid!
• Difficult (pretty much impossible) to integrate into the Thai community, though the people are generally lovely
• The language is HARD
• You might struggle with the seemingly total lack of environmental awareness (decades behind the UK in terms of plastic use, recycling etc)
• Terrible traffic
• Bad pollution in Jan-Feb, but not as bad as Beijing etc
• Not as cheap as people say, especially accommodation if you want a good location in the city that is big enough for a family
• Lack of proper kitchen facilities in many flats/houses (this is balanced by the prevalence and convenience of cheap street food; most people simply don't cook! You can find places with western kitchens but be prepared to search a bit harder)
• Bureaucracy e.g. newly introduced paperwork to be completed by your landlord EVERY TIME you leave the country and re-enter (this has gone down v poorly with foreign residents and landlords!)

We've been here a year and so far, so good. We had a 2 year contract but will probably stay 4-5 years.

Thanks @Eledamorena
That's more or less what i thought and from my own impressions.
I was reading about this new requirement from landlords. But how does a landlord know if a tenant leaves for a week?

Tha landlord doesn't know, but the government does because you have been through immigration at the airport/border. It is the landlord who gets fined if they don't complete the paperwork, but they must rely on their tenants informing them of their movements. Not easy if your landlord lives or works abroad themselves...!

It will figure itself out though. People are already just agreeing with their landlords to complete the forms themselves online once the landlord has set up and shared account details.

Technically if you leave your province you're supposed to do this form as well. Nobody does that! But if you stay in a hotel somewhere else in Thailand they will automatically inform the government, so that would then flag you as having left your home and needing to do another form when you return...

It's basically a nonsense!!
