I live in North Pattaya for 10 years, , have lived in Thailand for 15 years, 5 in Bangkok liked BKK , 10 in Pattaya, I live alone, get 45,000 Baht each month and save money most months, have a car and motor bike , pay 10,000 Baht rent for a house, very nice big house, make all my own meals cook most nights, , do not go to restaurants very much, never go to bars or go out at night much. do not drink or smoke, live a nice quite life, do not have a lack of ladies, not ladies bars or freelance, I find Thailand cheap to live,
The only reason most men come to Thailand is for the ladies and the cheap living. have been to Kuala Lumpur many times hate it, like up country in Thailand to visit, Thai ladies are great. would like to know how the guys that think it is bad here live, they never say.
