    Even if you ask directly at the counter of the building that doesn't mean the owner won't pay a commission. Sometimes/often the people behind the counter collect the commission. And if the owner doesn't want to give them a commission, then they conveniently forget that that unit exist. Welcome to Thailand!

     

    And obviously any information about free units with phone number might be from the owner or an agent. You just don't know. And also shops etc. in those buildings charge the same commission.

    I've just accepted a commission will be taken. I don't really see anything wrong with that system anyway tbh.

    Personally I would try to stay as close as possible to where you mostly spend your day or night. 

    And if work in A but go regular out at night in B then I suggest try to find something in B.

    Obviously it is annoying to get to work every day. But it even more annoying to have a long way after you go out at night.

     

    Even in lower Sukhumvit you can get reasonable prices. Just don't look only at the first and new buildings in the soi. A few hundred meter into the soi (easy with motorcycle taxis) are prices often a lot better.

    Sound advice. I want to be near a BTS around popular spots - Sism, Asoke (for my Terminal 21 lazy dates).

    If you are going to compare things avoid ludicrous comparisons. 

    The rule collapses under the slightest pressure. 

     

    OK. Let's say two years in prison only - and just a assault. 

     

    Two thumbs up for your daughters new boyfriend now?

     

    Peace. Don't judge man. We are all souls drifting in the same consciousness ✌????

    Basing judgements on what makes a person bad or not by comparing someone who has tattoos with someone incarcerated for ten years is absolutely ridiculous. 

    I'm using the same premise/the same rules.

     

    Wait. The rules suddenly don't apply when it's serious? B..b..but.. we shouldn't generalize, there are exceptions, right?

    Tattoos  are part of religion  and culture  here. So your  comment  reflects your ignorance of Thai and Khymer culture and your middle class western bias.

    The religious and Tatoo festivals are famous and have thousands attending around Thailand

    Yeah, nah. We know what type of tattoos we're talking about. 

     

    Stop holding up your finger, clearing your throat and declaring an exception. This is a thread of generalizations.

    You’re not only living in the wrong decade, you’re in the wrong century. 

     

    Anyone judging someone solely on their tattoos is well...  a judgemental fool.

     

     

    Hmm.. nah. I'm judging their choices by their own culture, not mine. Tattoos on a girl in my culture (US), is not the sign of a bad girl - but here it is. 

     

    I don't make the rules ????????‍♂️

    The OP is  a classic "judge a book by its cover" attitude, I know some women that have Tatoos that are not bad and never been near a bar either, which is another common assumption.

    I'm not saying there are no exceptions.

     

    If I asked 'what are signs of a bad man?' And someone said 10 years of prior incarceration st a federal prison. 

     

    Would you say: 'The OP is  a classic "judge a book by its cover" attitude, I know some people who are reformed offenders and some who were wrongfully convicted'

     

    You'd be right. Some are reformed and wrongfully convicted  - but just to be on the safe side, you probably don't want your daughter bringing back back Manuel 'The Massacre' Ortiz.

     

    I'm sure the 7 tear drop tattoos were just youthful folly too.
