Biggest Metro Areas in Thailand...?
SiSePuede419 replied to SiSePuede419's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It's not "my" criteria. I didn't write the definition of metropolitan area. BTW, I did meet a Thai from Ayutthaya who now lives in BKK. Nothing much to say about Ayutthaya. It's more a suburb of Bangkok and a history site. -
Biggest Metro Areas in Thailand...?
SiSePuede419 replied to SiSePuede419's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
OK, I'm increasing the population of Hat Yai to 800K, which Goggle says is on the greater urban area. Yeah, never been there but heard Hat Yai resembles Bangkok but without the train system and so much traffic. Really? Seems like it would be even more humid than Bangkok and fewer people would walk...?!? ============================== Thailand Population (by metro area, per Google) ============================== Bangkok 14,626,225 Chiang Mai 1,229,000 Hat Yai. 800,000 Chiang Rai. 557,000 Khon Kaen. 509,000 Surat Thani. 503,000 Phuket. 455,000 Udon Thani. 430,000 Ubon Rat. 200,000 Nakhon Si T. 102,152 Koh Samui 70,000 Pai. 27,370 Koh Phagnan. 14,000 Koh Chang. 5,000 -
Biggest Metro Areas in Thailand...?
SiSePuede419 replied to SiSePuede419's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Significant cultural location. However that doesn't make it a metro. Is there really that much development there? Or is Ayutthaya it just a train ride away from the real city to the south, I'm sure you have been there before...? ๐ซก Yeah, Ayutthaya has a Makro and a Central. Have you been there? Not all Centrals are created equal. The Central in Surat Thani is a bit rough, for example. The biggest feature there is an indoor taikwando gym for kids. Are the people in the South training to be fierce guerrilla fighters or something? At the free play area in Central Surat, a little girl grabbed my son by the hair and threw him down. You should have seen the surprised look on his face. ๐ฒ -
Forget the population numbers. They're just numbers from Google. Assume they're all wrong. What I am interested in is... Did I miss any "important" cities (or urban metro areas--whatever you want to call them) in Thailand?๐ค Typical characteristics of metropolitan areas: A metropolitan area, or metro, is a large, developed region that contains a core city, infrastructure, and developed industries. Metropolitan areas are densely populated, urban, and culturally significant. They usually include a main city and a series of smaller satellite cities This is why Pattaya would be considered a "satellite city" or suburb of the Bangkok metro area included in that population total and not a separate city/metro area. ============================== Thailand Population (by metro area, per Google) ============================== Bangkok 14,626,225 Chiang Mai 1,229,000 Chiang Rai. 557,000 Khon Kaen. 509,000 Surat Thani. 503,000 Phuket. 455,000 Udon Thani. 430,000 Hat Yai. 404,044 Ubon Rat. 200,000 Nakhon Si T. 102,152 Koh Samui 70,000 Pai. 27,370 Koh Phagnan. 14,000 Koh Chang. 5,000

Strong winds in Phuket for the next three days
SiSePuede419 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Where are the dumb Farangs who claim they're too good to live in Northern Thailand? Beautiful weather here. Cool in the morning (NEVER happens in Phuket). Nice dry sunny weather. So sorry about your crappy weather. Enjoy! -

Can't imagine the Japanese think Thailand is "too weird" These are people with game shows that hit male contestants in the nutsack when they give a wrong answer. ๐ -

You'll see older women working for one reason... If they quit they'll never get another job! Thailand has allowed employers to discriminate against age. Legally. They can post ads with applicants must be under 30. Once a woman reaches 31, she can never quit her job because she knows she will never find another because she's "too old". Welcome to Thailand. ๐ซ

I'm not a doctor, but I play one on AN... The only people who should take iron are menstruating women who suffer from anemia. Men should never take iron tablets. Your daughter is too young. Throw them in the ๐๏ธ

Ahhh my mistake. I thought there was a limit. And you have to pay a fee based on how many exits you want to do. Yes, I have a one year Non O "wife support" visa. And a "Multiple" reentry permit. Oh, I haven't seriously considering a job that requires me to fly back to America 12 times a year. Too much wear and tear not to mention costs. 30,000+B for a one way economy ticket to America right now. That's 720,000B per year cost just for flights alone. Staying in hotels, waiting for shuttle buses, arriving hours early for flights just to be trapped in a giant shopping mall aka "airport" eating overpriced airport food... ain't my cup of tea. ๐

Broke Ukrainian Man Causes Chaos at Patong Police Station

I'm not working in Thailand, I'm only working in America. My visa doesn't allow me to work in Thailand. There's no evidence I work in Thailand. I get W-2s from my employer mailed to my home in America. Get your nose out of my business. I'm asking about traveling in and out of the Kingdom of Thailand once a month so I can conduct business in America. Not Thailand. You Pattaya Barstool businessmen got me all wrong, I swear. ๐
