Wife (native) and I are moving to Bangkok with our daughter. What should I expect as a foreigner?

My wife and I are moving from the USA to Bangkok for at least a few years for her to be close with family. Plan on staying in the Ladprao district and money is not really an issue.

As a foreigner, what should I expect living there and do you have any recommendations for me? I know this is a very broad question, but in a general sense I’m really just curious what big adjustments and surprises (both good and bad) are in store for me. My wife of course has filled me in on many things and we’ve traveled back a few times, but I’m looking for the view from a foreigner’s perspective.

I will know around 3,000 Thai words by the time I move if that helps with anything.

Either way, I’m very excited and also very scared to make such a big move.
