But at least you get ocean views in California. Where in Thailand do you get an ocean view -- not a Gulf or Sea view -- from a condo or anywhere else? Yes, you posted a stock photo not taken by you. The normal views of the Sea are not so bad around here... To answer your question, views of the Indian Ocean can be seen from just south of Phuket. Nice work.

But the feeling of relief when the date is finally over is so intense it's almost orgasmic. Money well spent! (Note the sarcasm ) Cinemas in Thailand are incredibly cheap and offer great value, with extra discounts on certain days.

March 11, 20188 yr 1. most things are cheap: food, transportation, clothes, housing ... 2. there is something for everybody: islands, mountains, beaches, forests, temples, shopping malls, nightlife ... 3. excellent food and a wide variety of it: if you're tired of Thai, there's Indian, Iranian, Russian, Turkish, Scandinavian ... 4. if you're a man, where else do you get dozens of women telling you 'hello' (or sawatdee kaa) all day long? 5. nightlife - I'm only there for the music, dancing and drinking, sometimes to watch football - but where else is the nightlife rip-roaring away 7 nights a week? 6. despite the chaos on the roads, transportation is still modern and highly convenient and cheap 7. lots of swimming pools and beaches for tourists 8. ultra-modern shopping malls and huge supermarkets with everything Of course, I'm mainly comparing here between major cities in Thailand and Taiwan - where I live, which is 20 years ahead of Thailand in economic development, but which somehow lacks certain things - it is less cosmopolitan and has no beach culture, nightclubs close on Sunday night even in Taipei, which has 3 to 6 million people. In short, for me, Thailand = holidays.
