  1. Come on Sparky you're better than this. Crazy tariffs calculated in a nonsensical way. If he wanted to bully countries into making trade better for the United States then I guess this is a way but the disruption to investors, businesses and employees around the world based on a whim and a hope that it all turns out is reckless at best.

    Going 5 hours before departure makes sense.

    But the drive?

    He said the trip itself might take 5 hours to get to the  airport. Thought it might be busy at first - maybe some people going back to Bangkok after the weekend - but haven't been in Thailand at that time so maybe there is crazy traffic at that time.

    Meaningless!  Who gives a flying <deleted> about free speech?

     

    I'd rather live somewhere with decent schools, hospitals etc, and where I can get on with my life without the state poking its nose in....

     

    Most people don't give a damn about free speech, (unless you're into politics).  Give me China or Laos any day over the UK/USA/Australia. (excluding the crap hospitals in Laos!!)

     

     

    Didn't the Laotian government poke their heads into your hobby radio thing. To the point you had to leave. Would there be an issue in Australia. Of course not.

    Thanks, I will check those out. Are the places in Jomtien/Na Jomtien you mentioned hotel/resorts or private condos you can rent? 

    Condos for Na Jomtiem -  I am not that familiar with them but a search on AirBnB brings up beach front ones that it seems can be booked by the week.

  5. There are ones in Pattaya like the Palm Wongamat that are right on the beach and can be booked weekly on AirBnB  - it's not a good beach for swimming but looks nice and has nice pools. Na Jomtiem has a fair few options right on the beach. Jomtiem too if you don't mind crossing Beach road . 

    Koh Chang has the following fairly affordable nice options - depending on season:

    KC Grande - 4 star - rooms on beach much better than hillside

    Kacha - 3 star - fair cost and hillside rooms not bad 

    Sylvan - 4 star - beautiful set in forest and right on beach Rooms all have amazing outlook. Recommend beach front rooms.

    Bhumiyama Plus - right on beautiful Lonely beach - has been fixed up after being a bit run down for some time

  6. The trick is how to make it fun.

    Keep it to 2 or 3 months at a time.

    Stay at a nice Condo to make it fun.

    Mix a bit - went to fun concert on Jomtiem beach last night - 1000's of happy thais singing a long to Toon.

    Stay somewhere natural too - Koh Chang or something. 

    Find a nice lady to share your time who can accommodate and is happy with what you want which may be time alone and with her. 

    The exchange rate does suck though but why did you save all that super - for what.
