Must be something about the 7th I arrive that date too. I'm up for it definitely! Is Gullivers the place on the corner of Khao San?

Not sure about the Bangkok area. I worked at Baan Nana (Mae Sai) in January this year. Truly a genuine organisation that shelter street kids. Am moving to Bangkok in three weeks so it would be good to know of some myself actually!

Was Golden State but now there's no more Baron so next season i'll probably be going for Phoenix and the Hornets, love Nash/Paul and the style of their respective teams.

There are lots of places to rent man, but you better get that job first, see what your salary is going to be like before you commit to something that you can't afford. Most tefl jobs pay 35-40k a month. If you plunk down for an apartment that's 12-15 or higher you could be in a lot of trouble.

Good point, will certainly take note. I guess I am more interested in knowing what the good areas of Bangkok are, and if anyone knows of any bball courts and good gyms because I would probably then look for jobs around that area. Cheers though mate.

This question is directed to all the people living in Bangkok who really know the town and it's built environment.

I am interested to know what area people think would be best for me to stay in given my situation. I am moving to Bangkok in September, I will need to get a job but I have a Bachelors Degree and a TEFL certificate so I don't think I will have too much trouble with that. I am pretty keen to stay reasonably close to khao sarn road because I have a friend that lives near there but if I can find a really good area then I am not too fussed with that. What I am really looking for is an area with a decent gym and a basketball court, also some cool night spots (not red light district) and pretty safe would be handy too. I don't think i'll be buying a vehicle so close to public transport would also be pretty good.

Anybody got an ideas?

Nice to meet you Michelle. It looks like i'm in the same boat as you, am moving to Bangkok in September and would love to get to know a few people before I arrive. I actually worked in Mae Sai (far North Thailand) for a month at the start of the year, so I got to learn a bit of the culture and language and stuff there. You'll have a blast, Thailand rocks! Hopefully see you around..

There better be a good bar and some good Aussie blokes to watch the footy with when I get there.

Go past Nana Entertainment Centre and check out the Bus Stop on Sukhumvit Soi 4, or try The Office in Sukhumvit Soi 33.

The Office has a really good Grand Final Day breakfast and live AFL final on TV.

Awesome, thanks mate. Will stay in contact as we get closer to the date.

Shit!

I just realised what I have done.. I stupidly booked my flights to come back to Thailand on September 7, which means I am going to miss the grand final, and obviously another cats premiership.. I knew there was a reason why I didn't want to leave until October.

Shattered! There better be a good bar and some good Aussie blokes to watch the footy with when I get there.

Ps. Stoked I found this thread.
