Can someone please give their opinion? thank you!

For 2500 does it really matter. I assume that is per month, it must be very basic accommodation. If that's all you want to pay then go for it, you can always move out after a month

it matters to me! i don't have chests of gold and i plan to live here for years, not be on some holiday. and i can't waste money as long as i don't have a job. i think the apartment is perfectly fine, it's almost 30 sqm, has balcony and even has a western toilet (i wish it didn't). it lacks air-con which i'm fine with, i never use air con anyway, it uses too much electricity. what more can you ask for in an apartment where you live alone?

deposit is only 1month + 500.

what if the landlady changes the locks and keeps all my stuff? i need a contract for legal protection but i want it translated to make sure i don't agree to anything bad...

If she locked me out I would slash her tyres but hey, thats just me.

her tyres might not be worth as much as my stuff she locked me out of...

i'll try to sort it out and i'll go by gut feeling! mai pen rai a!

Usually ready to move in the same day you view it, if you hand over 2 months deposit and 1 month rent in advance.

deposit can be anything from 1 month to 3 months (or more). 2 months is common.

drunken slobs... bad people... criminals, drug users, unwanted by their own countries almost all of them, i stay far away.

Her parents are getting attacked from people in Thailand, due to her actions. basically the parents are protecting themselves. we dont know what threats they have had against them but im pretty sure its ugly. some of these people can get fanatical. sad all round

Exactly. What a horrible, ungrateful daughter! That's what you get when you westernize people, you get horrible, arrogant, selfish people that defame everyone no matter who it hurts because of so called "freedom of speech". Freedom to not care about others and be completely full of oneself... that's what it really is.

It would be easier if they just executed every drug user and seller on the spot (in the street). we would be rid of many unwanted "tourists" and other people.

I have never had a taxi use a meter from the taxi stand. They always tell me no meters for trips out of Bangkok. My 1 hour journey costs 700bt + tolls; i have never had any cause for complaints.

i have never taken a taxi from the airport but for me they always use the meter no matter where i take the taxi, including sukhumvit. even the taxis that i've hailed at khaosan road use the meter. but i've never tried to speak a word of english and i dress normally (normally for thais)

FOLKS

FOR REPLYING TO MY QUERY BUT HONESTLY IT IS STILL NOT CLARIFIED.

THE QUESTION STILL REMAINS.

"DOES WORKING ONLINE IN THAILAND ENTITLE YOU TO GETTING A THAI VISA UNDER ANY CATEGORY ACCORDING TO THAI IMMIGRATION RULES OR NOT" ????

No. You are allowed to do it however. as long as your work doesn't involve thailand, thai companies or people in any way it's agreed by thai officials that you can do your work in peace, mai pen rai. i think you still owe the thai government taxes...

I found an apartment for 2200 but the next day the landlady changed her mind (mai pen rai...)

i found another one for 2500 and it's a good apartment for that price. the landlady doesn't have a copy machine. she asked me to sign a contract in thai and i told her since my thai isn't that good i want to get it translated. she asked why and i told her how do i know there isn't some part saying that i have to pay 50 thousand baht or something. then she said that ok, forget the contract, just give me a copy of your ID. go copy it somewhere and come back.

should i be worried? does that sound like really suspicious behavior or is there some reason she would be like that even if she was honest? i rode down 10 sois and those 2 are the only free apartments i found. should i ride down more sois and forget about this one?
