Hi everyone

I am married to a THAI man and will live in Bangkok. Could you please recommend me the areas where I can make Japanese friends and also good but not too expensive nursery schools for Japanese children as I have a 3 years old daugther. We are also thinking about buying a condominium, which area is best in Bangkok but less polluted?

thank you

Sachan

Sorry, but can't help you with condos.

Good luck Sa-chan

Thank you for your useful recommendations.

Sa-chan,

In your profile it says you're male. How can you be married to a Thai man if you're a man yourself? Kasem Sailuenam, what's that? I like to help people who are truthful. Is that you?

Sa-chan,

Regarding the condo, you have to be more specific about the area you want to live, where does your husband work, where will you work, or will you, Sukhumvit is usually where Japanese people stay, it all depends on how much you want to pay. I think since you don't know BKK, you'd better let your husband or whatever search for the condominium. Are you the one paying for it? Are you a man or a woman? Anyways, good luck again.

Dear Ajinthai

Sorry for the misunderstanding, in fact I asked my husband to write the enquiry and use his account. That is why you can see male instead of female in the profile.

I hope you understand and thank you for your suggestion.

Thank you Sa-chan,

I really want to help anyone who truly needs help, if I can. Also, since I'm a Nikkei Nisei and we have the same country's blood flowing through our veins, it makes me feel even closer to you.
