Half of the places on that list are not even nightclubs. They are more like cocktail lounges.

Nightclub is about music, dancing, and chicks.

RCA is my usual jaunt with Route 66 and Slim. I'm also partial to a few places along Sukhumvit depending on my mood.

I know a uni educated chick with a full back piece. I'd say it was a fashion thing. She is a bit artsy/hispter ish.

Vietnam is a good choice.

Fly into Hanoi and go to Sapa and Halong Bay.

married before, 30+ years old, and dragging a kid? Ain't no sin sot there son

Be a man and lay down the rules or continue to get fked in the ass by the entire family.

Proper apartments at good location in Bkk are expensive. If you can live in a small box of 45m2, then ok, 20000 should be sufficient. Otherwise count on 40-50000 a month. Yeah, same or more what you'd pay in your home country.

So you may end with 100k/month for everything, but add some extra cash for travelling and visits to your home country.

Thailand is NOT cheap if you need some standards.

What a load of bullshit this is.

I know lots of places where you can get 2br places for under 20,000baht. You don't need to spend a fortune to get nice digs in Bangkok.

Some of you guys have no idea at all.

There is one called "The Jims Place" out near ramkenghaeng with a 50m pool. I can get the address or pics if you like.

There is also another one in lad prao with a 25m pool but shit quality rooms and a fair way down the sois to the main road.

I'm sure they are out there. It is just a matter of finding them.

Tourist Visa for 60days which is expendable for 30days for 1900baht or something.

You can then leave the country and return for another 60 + 30 days extension.

This gives you a maximum of 6months on the tourist visa. You might be able to get a second tourist visa afterwords or do border runs. 15 days by land and 30 by air.

You will need to factor these costs in. Paying for visa, traveling to border, paying for visa to visiitng country, etc.

You could do it if you live on a strict budget. No partying or eating western food.

If you run into any unexpected problems your budget will be stuffed. You need to keep that in mind. You will most defiantly need insurance. Can't afford to pay for a hospital stay if you get food poisoning or in an accident.

There are so many things you are not budgeting for too. Little things like buying soap. Not expensive but they add up over a period of 12months.

Can it be done? Yes it can. My advice would be to plan an EDUCATED budget and then take double that amount. If that means you need to stay less than 12months that is something you will just need to consider.

Do you really need an ocean view? It would obviously be a lot more managable if you picked a location away from an island or beach as it will be a lot cheaper. Everything is more expensive on the islands.

You will need to sacrifice some comforts if you want to do 12months. I have plenty of thai friends and they have apartments in Central Bangkok and only pay 3,500baht a month. They do not have A/C or Hot Water. My condo costs 8,000baht but has a pool, A/C, WIFI, and Hot water. For 12months on that type of budget you will have to leave behind some comforts you haven't even considered.

Wish you good luck with it. Maybe good idea to have an open return flight booked in case shit hits the fan and you end up with no money. Always have a plan B.

how to meet a good girl? the same way you would in any other country.

I've had two girlfriends in Thailand.

Met one on the internet and the other I met while riding the BTS.

The funniest thing about this thread is it's so obvious that the secret "owners" of other pizza joints feel threatened by the opening-post's mere pizza suggestion, and keep using their "mirror accounts" to trash the pizza they haven't even tried or seen; and push their own.

Next step: They'll pretend they've tried the opening post pizza and trash it some more... then push their own as "unbiased" third parties (using, again, their "mirror accounts")

Are you implying me?

I'm not connected to any pizza business. I just stated my opinion based on the photo. It looks like a shit cheap pizza. Anyone who knows pizza will agree with me. Seems a large portion of the forum does and YOU are in the minority. Is it possible you are the one who is biased and has relations to the pizza business?

Pay money to take care of someone?

If I marry a thai women she would be paying ME. I will be the bread winner after all.

Hopefully they get a lengthy jail sentence and refused extradition.

Looks pretty poor to me.

Let me get this straight. You are worried about your wife cheating yet you had no problem going to Phuket with a mate where you no doubt < Snip > a bunch of girls? Isn't that a little bit hypercritical of you?

You are in your 40s and she is in her 20s. You have been with her since she was 19? You really think she is with you for anything other than money?

You got played like a fool mate. Get some common sense and forget the private eye nonsense. The only thing on your mind right now should be damage control to secure your assets.
