Start by getting a guidebook to thailand like RoughGuide. It will tell you about hospitals, hotels, meals etc.
You can start by getting hotel rooms in BKK for from $6 to 12 USD. Ratanakosin Island (Banglamphu district) is a good place to live. Eventually you can find an apartment for around $200 per month there.
there will be a great range of foods and prices in that district.
To buy/sell things look in the expat newsletters once you get there. The Bangkon Post will have some listings in the classified. You might also want to check out craigslist.
