You have no idea as to what others can see and experience, but you choose to insist that you do and that what you do is better. You are just going on your limited experience. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should actually learn the meaning of OCD, rather than utilising the word like a petulant school child. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've rented a unit on the 21st floor and had lots of bites. Now I insist on a screen regardless of floor. The “no mosquitoes that high“ is another one of the lies the agents/landlords perpetuate to convince another sucker to sign on the dotted line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money is better invested elsewhere, but I appreciate people like bragging rights, so many bedrooms, sea view etc etc yawn yawn When one can rent a great place here for under $1000 a month, why buy? It is a renters market here. Hooray! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 1 hour ago, xylophone said: Everyone to their own I suppose spidermike, and I would never have thought that I would be living in an apartment, albeit 50 square metres with a large balcony, after having a large and lovely three bedroomed house on a large piece of land in the UK, and similar in NZ. When I moved to Phuket I bought a nice house and kitted it out to my specs, especially the kitchen and bathroom areas and was quite happy living in it along with the GF and her daughter, and whilst I was there I bought another house that needed doing up, because I wanted something to do. Jump forward five years and after the GF and I split, I found that the house was just too big for one person, and I felt like I was rattling around in it, although I'd had a very large house in the UK, now it just seemed too big and of course it had to be cleaned. So I sold it, and as I had already sold the other house, I needed to look for somewhere to live, so I searched around and found this apartment. I thought I would stay in it for a few months to give me time to look around, and here I am some 12 years later, still in it, and I don't have a problem with the space because it's all I need, and although I occasionally look around at other apartments, I feel at home here and the people who own it know me and are very nice, and is very convenient to all I need so why move? I could easily afford to buy another house if I wanted to, but as I'm happy and satisfied here, there's no need to do so. It is all about contentment. And if renting, hard to beat a good landlord. If it works for you, stick with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgegeorgia Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 The conclusion is , I couldn't live in a studio , the ones that look like hotel rooms would be the worst . Watching TV from your bed everyday . Sink outside in some ,in fact some have only the bathroom sink Nope ... couldn't do it I have empathy for you guys doing it ,is that what you wanted in life to end up in a small bedsitter ?

Hummin Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I found a nice studio central in Hua Hin at Condochain. Old <deleted>ty building but it had Great balcony and Great view. One of the best prospects I looked at back in time before I decided not to invest in any condo in Thailand. There is several old condominiums that is worth checking out in the area if studio with feeling of larger room and large balconies. Myself happy to live without neighbour's outback in Isan for now, but later, it might be more realistic with Bangkok Hospital and blueport as closest neighbour's ???? At minimum an outside kitchen at balcony if no space inside for a decent kitchen. 091 436 9379 https://maps.app.goo.gl/P27T1rrYF7eFgkQSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you have come to the light about the down side of being a minimalist? What made you change your mind from thinking you would be happy with a mat on the floor to think sitting on the bed to watch TV was not acceptable? I think I am a bit of a minimalist but never have I considered a mat on the floor without a fridge to be a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
