Finally they might understand how ridiculous and useless they are whatever they do !

I wouldn't say than you if I was your kids and had to live with migrants who actually just are invaders...

"Going organic is just a pipe dream"

 

Actually in the past all farming was organic so certainly not a pipe dream and there are quite a few farmers growing niche organic crops making money worldwide. 

 

For short term thinking chemicals make sense if you don't care about health - Farmers are getting poisoned when using chemicals.

 

Do a little research and you will see lots of Thai farmers using chemicals for market crops; but for their family the crops are organic. Their personal garden will often be in the back and the vegetables will have holes in them - not beautiful but healthy...

As if a Thai was able to think anything else but short term...

This guy is deluded if he thinks the farmers aren't already spraying herbicides all over the place already. 

His concerns about contract farming might be realistic though.

Exactly ! As if there was even 1 farmer not killing us softly in Thailand...

Cheers, I am also looking for cheap accommodation at KC, do the 5000 thb rooms for staff exist there ?

And where is the best place to stay to be at walking distance from shops/restaurants and a gym if possible ?

Thanks.

I am a digital nomad too.. I still have enough personal contact. I really don't see messages as a replacement of personal contact but an addition. My parents call me every 2 days by skype... just imagine how hard it would have been 10 years ago to do that.

 

I absolutely love ebay and online shopping.. we can get stuff cheaper and things we never could get before in Thailand. People moaning about improvements are just not taking everything in account.

Said the guy who turns off his router when not using internet :-)

You will die less stupid. People who do not keep updated with technology are the ridiculous old people that we were mocking in the past...

*934# extend your validyty for 30days for like 2bath not sure.

do it multiple times it extend it for a year

It is not possible to extend for a year anymore the maximum is 3 months whatever system you use and whatever people are going to post here.

So the maximum code is:

*934*180#

For 180 days.

Good, more people shitting in their pants will register and people who do not respect the law will never have to respect it.

Always good when a Thai is taught how life works !

KC has some nice areas.  I'm not a big fan of KPN.  The full moon party and associated mafia have ruined the place.  I actually prefer beaches on the mainland.  Easy for me to drive there and get around, they are cheaper, and just as nice.  Ban Kruit, north of Khao Lak, Koh Lanta (and the many islands south of there),  Chao Lao Beach, the other Koh Chang island.  Many places.  Best to have a car and just explore!

 

I stayed here one time.  A bit more expensive, but right on the beach!  Fantastic.

just as nice ? you really do not know what is a nice beach on an island...

the guy makes thousands every month and is making problems for 5000 and a deposit, why people are so ridiculous ?

Yes sure Thailand would be fun without street sellers as in our monkey homelands.

What are you doing here ? go home !

There is nothing good, even foscam is shiiite, just buy a cheap Watashio for 3000 thb, it's enough and as good as the more expensive ones.

How funny are people to give 5000 thb to random mibs...

Luckily some of us have balls to tell them what they deserve.

so if anybody can do cheese why is it still so expensive ?

I'd live like a king on 2000 Bt a day. Myself and the wife just come back from 5 days on Samet. Nice clean rooms there from 400 Bt. up, free Wi-Fi and near the beach. I had already booked online at 700 Bt.

   Never seen the logic in paying huge money for a room just to sleep in it?

Difficult to understand the logic of going to the beach to LIVE on the beach ?

I do not go to a beach to live in a slum...

2k/day is hardly slumming.  I'd say more like 500B/day! LOL  I know many places on/near the beach where you can get a nice room for 800-1k/night.  Easy.  Food is cheap as is beer.  That budget is really easy.  The islands make it a bit more difficult.  Prices on Samet and Chang, as elsewhere, have been going up dramatically.  And lower end places have been replaced with high end ones.  But, you can still find places, but they won't be on the sea.

 

Time of year also makes it more difficult due to the weather.  We spent a month in Phuket during the rainy season many years ago.  Some places in the north were closed, impossible to swim, and afternoon storms made lounging around the pool difficult.

 

2k/day is easy!  Have fun and please report back what you end up doing.

 

Here's a place that's a good example of what you can find:

We didn't stay there, but nearby.  Under 1k/night, right on the beach.

any other place to advise please ?

Koh chang or Kohpanghan

The Mrs and myself stayed on Koh Chang for a couple of weeks in January so still in high season, we paid 500b for a nice clean bungalow with fan, air con, goodish wifi, fridge, tv and hot water shower, we also hired a moped for 160b a day.

We weren't on a budget but I think we rarely spent more than 2000b a day, we ate when we were hungry and drank everyday mind you we did buy some beers from the 7-11 to put in the fridge which we would drink in the evening or night on our little veranda on our bungalow.

Can you tell me where on Koh chang ? thanks.

And as it seems that many people don't know, Koh samet is the most expensive island for accommodation, and one of the most polluted.

Sorry, I am looking for a small house or bungalow at KohChang or KohPangan, I will stay where I find the best offer for long term. Thanks.

Helllo,

Of course 1000 a day is enough, do you really think that many people go to Thailand to spend $2000 a month ?

I am also looking for a small house or bungalow ,please PM me if you have an offer that I might have missed on booking websites.

Thanks.
