Amazon. It was $39.99. Plus $20 shipping to Thailand. Then the $30 import fee. The thing is in the country but I'm still waiting for it.

Had a problem with lady boys. They got my mobile from me.

I went to China and they behave like pigs over there. They need to change their behavior at home.

How can one go about finding American employers while living in Thailand? I want to find the American businesses that are out here and need someone from the States.

Too late. Special ordered it.

Hi everyone.

Does anyone know where I can but the Rocksmith game package for PC in Bangkok?

The massage parlor I was in shut down because the cops were on their way.

<deleted> Thailand?!

I'm not working without the visa and permit.

I'm confused.

If this is an error caused by the school should I ask they reimburse some of the costs like the $50 Laos visa?

I have the documents the school gave me. The officer took a look at them and told me I was supposed to go to immigration.

I was just trying to get the appropriate visa for my work position.

My head teacher told me I could go to Laos to get my paperwork done.

Well, I just arrived and the Thai embassy officer told me I have to go to immigration.

That's a long trip for nothing.

The thing is, under certain circumstances won't they give you the work visa?

I'm entering Thailand by land and heading to immigration. Is there anything I should known before hand? Do they want a certain amount of days left on my visa before I apply for the permit.

I really hate wasting time and resources.

Bought one from Big C.

I'm just going to use it when I take a motorcycle taxi everyday.

People I tell this too think I am paranoid.

My friend was telling me that if you are getting a legitimate work permit then it is mandatory that you be paid 50,000 BHT a month along with medical insurance and other benefits.

Is this true? I am getting my work permit to teach at a public school but I am not getting 50k or medical insurance.

Is the employer trying to cheat me? Are there really requirements with getting a work permit?

I am confused.

Anyone know where I can buy a motorcycle or scooter helmet?

I am probably confused. What is the process?

Hi everyone,

I'm getting a work permit soon and I was thinking of doing the paperwork over in Cambodia.

Is this a multiple day process? Is there a train will take me there from Bangkok? Also, is it best to go through a travel agent?

Anything I should know beforehand? I should probably have 2000 in Baht right?

Well, I have a bit more than 8k USD to work with but let's see how it goes.

For all those people saying 8k will last a few months, do you spend all your money on sex or something?

With a budget of $8k for even 3 months wouldn't buy you any sex, other than street meat. A relatively basic furnished apartment in central Bangkok is $1500 a month and chances are it won't even be serviced. You can get cheaper but I don't want to live in a slum. So you're left with $1100 for the month to spend, 35,000 baht let's say, which is nothing if you're the type who enjoys a good single malt whiskey and or half a bottle of chablis with his sea food dinner. After a trip to the gentlemans barbers, a few pints of 'boutique' craft beer and after paying your dry cleaning bill, there won't be much left for taking a decent woman on a date.

My apartment in Phrom Phong cost 10,000 baht a month. What are you talking about?

It's been (sort of) fun reading this thread up until now...but you apparently already live in Bangkok, OP? Then you already know if one can live on 20,000 baht/month, don't you? If so, please share with the community how you do that with a 10,000 baht/month rent payment. Thanks in advance.

In 2013 - 2014 I lived in Phrong Phong. It seems every month I spent around $1200 or so. This time around I have less resources and want to make them stretch.

Maybe I'll just stay for a few months.

Has anyone ever sat in or enrolled in the classes at Sandee Language School? Their yearly price is remarkably cheap and I'm thinking about enrolling with them so I can get a year visa. However, I do feel a bit of apprehension because part of me seems like it could be too good to be true.

Anyone have any opinions on this?

Oops, I'm talking about USD.

Let's say an education visa too.

I think living on $8000 USD is totally doable.

Would this be a difficult feat? Can the lifestyle be comfortable?
