The trick for us younger gents and ladies is not to live in Bangkok. There is a difference. Bang Sue on Nut and north of Ld Prao is called the burbs, and anyone that has lived in a major city knows that the burbs are better than in the city. First it is cheaper as long as you do not want to be beside the BTS it is cleaner, and the level of smog deteriorates the farther away you get, When I moved here, I set up in Pthum Thani; transport was a minibus to Victory or CC, then BTS. Now it is BTS all the way. Rents here are cheaper, but the one advantage to living in the burbs is that we are not considered tourists that they want to gouge. People are friendly and reasonable. If you want to go party, just hop on the BTS and make sure you leave before midnight. If you want to go wander around BKK, it is easy. I have a desire to live in Pattaya, and as to the air pollution, I will take Rangsit over any major city.
