I was this close to buying a regent condo but bought a kilo down from suk to save 30K/sq mtr. That was 2.5 years ago and my hole in the ground turned into a beautiful new condo I've lived in for 4 months. Thank god I didn't buy regent for the convenience or I'd be screwed

The thai package must have been lousy to turn it down

Bangkok is NOT Hong Kong or Singapore and never will be. This market is inflated out of proportion. My advice is STAY OUT until a substantial collapse in pricing occurs. Time is on the side of non owners

Very lame indeed

If you move from Pattaya to Issaan you will really know what the word BORING means I find I am going out of my mind with nothing to do after 3 to 4 weeks up here & have to get back to Pattaya/Bangkok to regain my sanity!!!

Pattaya has many faults but there are plenty of activities for expats to take part in as other posters have said.

You and the OP both have my sympathy

Oh, and I also wanted to say to all of you, do not alter your passports, that is a federal offence.

I'm a 47 y/o American guy and I've been making 30 day visa runs to Poi Pet for 6 years running. I have made 4 of these now since the rule has gone into effect no questions asked. My plan from the get go was to keep doing these same runs until I get a warning or 7 days to leave the country. I can take this risk as I will just leave and get a 60 day tourist. On my 4th run, no one batted an eye and no one has ever added up days; they have just stamped me thru each time. btw, I am an early retiree with plenty of cash who would never even think of working in this country. Maybe this is how I look to the Immi guy . Afterall, It is up to the discretion of the officer, as I have heard many times.

I'm cravin' White Castle hamburgers, brahmburgers
