For a person living alone it doesn't make any financial sense to buy a washing machine, use the coin op places that are everywhere around the town. If you want to wash your duvet you'll need a machine capable of taking 12 kg, and they're quite expensive. The cheap small ones only take 6 kg or so, fine for shirts and towels but they're too small for doing a proper job of a king-size duvet (if you're a midget and sleep in a single bed then please disregard this post!) Using the coin op machines you don't pay for the electricity or the water, but most importantly you don't have to worry about maintenance. Washing machines are notoriously unreliable things even in the West, I wouldn't place any bets on the lifetime of the cheap things they sell here. My house is plumbed to take a washing machine, but with three coin op places within 100 yards of the village entrance the plumbing will remain unused.

convenience ! and  heavy duty duvets ? why its not Alaska just turn the air con temp up and no sheeting necessary

And punters continue to keep their money in western countries away from thai banks where it is "safe"

I seriously doubt OP is even in thailand and more than likely in his mom's basement somewhere. A self professed "hotel owner " fighting with a massive customer base 24/7 on TV

BAHAHAHA to funny and to weird

Could you not think of anything more trollish?????

Thats the weird part..Your a errrhem  a "hotel owner" that's only interested in bashing and fighting with his best source of customer base right here on TV.

Your sinking it and for what reason? makes zero sense

You struggle with immigration and you have a work permit ?? 

 Take care buddy

So many dummies claiming that keeping cash locked up in the west is the path to riches 

bahaha idiots losing exchange rate by the minute against the mighty baht

The only winners were those that sold up everything and "burned bridges" to catch onto the mighty mighty baht. The rest are losers there is no disputing that fact

AirBNB being illegal is a huge problem both for hosts and guests. Make it legal, and leave it up to the condos to decide if they allow it or not.

What is wrong with people. Air bnb is NOT illegal and saying it a hundred times a day on the threads won't make it any more illegal.

ok all of us minus 1..happy now 

I'd largely agree, though I wouldn't say 'the whole package', it ticks most boxes. We're happy here in Hat Yai and have no plans to move. But that isn't to say Malaysia isn't also an option that ticks most of the boxes too, including some boxes, like language and infrastructure, that Thailand fails on.

I lived and worked in Malaysia for three years, thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm in Thailand because my wife is Thai and we have a life here. I still have friends in Malaysia, and I still undertake consulting work there, so visit around four to six times a year. If I hadn't ended up in Thailand I would very likely have opted for Malaysia.

so funny I have had thais ask me for loan and didnt even understand collateral concept!! I was so shocked

Turned out they had been given over 2 mln baht - no collateral at all apparently this is common practice

Tick tock tick tock

Same setup as 2008. Wait till the whole thing falls and buy a house for dirt cheap

These condos are going to be selling at under 80% cuts by the time they realise its in a nosedive

Current management has no idea how to operate economic policy imho they need help

i would risk a knife in the neck if we had just one woman in Hua Hin worth the trouble.

I’m fine right here and no need to try any other. Everything is beautiful enough to keep me here. 
Thank you 

In some places AirBnB rooms are much more expensive than hotels. 

Deregulation of air bnb! What a boost for home owners, no more minimum 1 month.. Woo-hoo

You've still not explained why your (imaginary?) 90k/month woman wants you.
As you already posted, "it's always about the money"

 
Sorry every tourist I know does not complain even at getting 30/1 USD
 
But what they do not like is the BS government the previous overthrow of a democratically elected government &
what they hate most of all? Corruption at almost every step of the way.
 
Tourist I know who made annual treks to Thailand have found greener pastures
They were very much in love with the Thailand of 10 years ago & still came yearly
 
But year after year they saw/felt the changes & finally said enough.
It is just not that nice of a place to visit anymore.
 
My wife & I we come every year of course as we have a country house & family to visit that will not change.
But folks we know without Thai ties that loved Thailand no longer vacation there & to be honest an improved exchange rate would not change their minds.
 

Reset your settings back to default. If that fails there are smart 55 inch tvs with 4 K UHD SMART tvs on lazada for 10 k

Total rubbish
