Guess I am going to be a guinea pig for the new system as I fly in and out of Thailand August 5th to August 14th

mine is around 800-1500 a month. Only 1 aircon unit.

Hey man. If you are lazy and/or shy forget shopping malls and public places. Best advice is to take up a hobby that interests you and then hit it off from there.

If they ask me for pee test, ill ask them to hold the cup. I have a terrible aim

Koh larn island near pattaya. Great beach there.

You could also head to cha,am or hua hin

Koh samet might is nice but might be a tad far for just 1 day

These idiots have made life so terrible for an average Nigerian. It took me 27 months of agony to get a job in Thailand because of my nationality. Who wants to associate with a Nigerian? Virtually nobody because we are believed to be either scammers or drug peddlers. I always told myself that suffering great hardship is far better than spending my prime in jail. I may have gone hungry for weeks during my jobless days but it's worth it. In a couple of days, I will receive my first salary ever since I arrived Thailand in Feb 2014, thanks to my determination n moral support from my family. I have no pity for any idiot who decided to peddle drugs. It ain't worth it @ all.

good stuff. nice to know theres a few of the good guys out there. I don't know to make sweeping generalizations, but the reputation of Nigerians is well deserved..

I also wouldn't rule out buying a cheap fan.

a lot of the time the A/C is overkill and the fan does the job.

There used to be a really old thai lady that would sit at the base of the walkway across ratchadapisek road near soi 7.

she would play this mini keyboard thing. it sounded awful. i walked past here daily and saw her improving on it. started dropping her 10baht each time. i liked the fact she wasn't just sitting there with her hand out. she was trying to find a skill or service and was actively improving at it. even at a very old age. i can respect that.

Only place I have seen deliberate short changing in Thailand is at the Ekkamai bus terminal.

old dumb sexpat who hangs around hookers all day and then is surprised that they take money for sex?

Only thing Bali has going for it over Thailand is the surf.

Last time I went to bali was 2012. Costs are fairly similar. I'd say it is easier to live cheaper in Thailand than Bali, but then again I know Thailand a lot better than I know Indonesia.

I'm in the same boat.

We looked at a dump of a condo just out of curiosity - (450K THB - but it needed about 350-400K worth of repairs/renovations from 20 years of leaks) a couple of months ago. We wouldn't let our dog stay there! Monthly fees were 550 THB. Actually it wasn't really a condo. It was a studio apartment - one room and a toilet, about 34 square meters. So if you want cheap, that is what you get.

monthly fees of 550 baht when you can prolly rent a room like that for 3k.

doesnt seem like a great investment to me.

better off renting

Not in Chiang Mai but here in Bangkok you attend the MOE after 12 months study and answer four simple questions in the Thai language.

คุณชื่ออะไร

คุณอายุเท่าไหร่

คุณเป็นคนชาติอะไร

สิ่งที่คุณอาหารที่ชอบทาน

I personally have never been tested at immigration.

Hope you find someone who can help in Chiang Mai.

What is your name?

How old are you?

What is your nationality?

What is your favorite food?

One year for that? I knew how to answer those questions after the first week in Thailand.

America trying to export their morals onto everyone else yet again it seems.

I'm sure there are a lot of things that would be totally inappropriate and shock thai tourists in America too.

lol. fat old sex tourist who can't get the attention of young girls in Australia. what a cliche.

sorry but not everyone is as pathetic as you are. you obviously are shameful about your decisions considering you are trying to rationalize them amongst other people here to make it seem normal.

just take a video of them and photo their license or taxi info.

you can report them and they will get fined.

try to know white collar Thai girls and this is the real Thai girls

You must be joking. First of all they are a tiny percentage of the population, poor rural girls much more representative and authentically Thai.

Also the office girls have no interest in fat old unattractive farang, very tough to find one that will go at a reasonable price, way too much effort IMO.

And they are usually SO up themselves, No thanks, give me a nice upcountry farmer's daughter fresh off the farm any day.

If I didn't have the language or language skills for that even a nice honest sex worker is better than those pretentious superficial bubble-brained Barbie dolls.

add to that,

they are robotic and live boring lives, and generally if still white collar, non imaginative and deep in debt,

add to that,

all the family baggage,

not sure there is a difference worth debating, except maybe,

harder to get in bed?

will still require money, ie., tangible effort

What would you know? Your experience of thai women is a hooker in chiang mai and a visit to pattaya.

lol

you are so delusional it is hilarious.

LOL

god forbid a girl not want to have interest in a fat old and unattractive fossil.....

oh no, you actually have to put in some effort? what is this madness!

up themselves? because they refuse to lower themselves to your disgusting level? i guess almost every girl in thailand who isn't poor and destitute is "up themselves' then. you obviously do not know these girls on a personal level like I do.

I love how you call these girls stupid when a lot of them are very educated and working good jobs. But no, you would rather roll around with a girl who can't speak English and left school at the age of 14. Good job.

Take the MRT to Rama9 and go to Fortune Town. It is an I.T Mall. I've seen laptop stands in there before. Not sure if I have seen ones from the floor though. The ones I have seen have mostly been the ones you rest on your lap for the couch or bed. It is still worth a look though. Place has almost everything I.T related you could want. Failing that, order online.

Do I walk from the MRT? I will check it out as Ive only ever been to Pantip

The building is directly outside the MRT station. So yes I think you can manage the walk.

spring break coming up

The age pool ratio in florida sweeps the early 30's female crowd, into non approachable range for a 54 year old, no matter the capabilities,

The life and comfort here though, cannot be matched in most of Thailand

It is the same as Thailand. Difference is you do not have a large financial advantage over these women, so they want nothing to do with you.

Just like most Thai girls want nothing to do with you, other than the poor and destitute.

You mean when he's strung out on yaabaa and takes all her money to go drinking with his friends, that is preferable to staying with a clean cut, well dressed guy who takes her out to nice restaurants and stays in a beautiful home?

You're right; if she prefers the loser Thai guy to a successful farang, then these girls have shit for brains.

So now it is the girls fault because they don't see an OLD and pathetic whoremonger like you as a good catch? lol.

Delusional reality indeed.

Got an idea for them but it isn't farming.

Why not make them a website and advertise on travel/tourist forums about "an authentic homestay in an issan village"

Won't cost much to put them up "issan style' in the home. You could charge 1000baht or day or something.

Easy money and some entertainment for the family to boot.
