susanlea Posted Monday at 11:48 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:48 PM 27 minutes ago, Nemises said: The beaches look beautiful but generally speaking they are too uncomfortable due to the high air temperature, the high water temperature, the high humidity, the hot/ non refreshing breeze and the ridiculously shallow water. You want cold beaches? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a cooling breeze … and a refreshing water temperature … and where you don’t need to walk a kilometre out to sea before the water is waist-high. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just walk 200m you get deeper water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl sees all Posted Tuesday at 01:43 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:43 AM The big win for us ex-pats here is that it is so, so cheap. Can walk into any market and come out fully togged up for under 300 baht. A decent meal is 40 baht. Water is usually on the table and is free. Accommodation; 6k a month. Transport; very reasonable. If you have to. A nice looking bit of fluff for the night will set you back 400 baht. A fresh pineapple from a street vendor just 25 baht. Get your cat food in 20k bags. Don't spend money on dentists and the like. Cut yer own hair. Easy to live in Isaan for less than 15k month. Of course one can always pay more. But not everyone has money to waste.

Even sausages on a stick are only 5 baht each. And you usually get some salad in with them for free. a pow-pow up here is 40 baht. Lovely! But 5 baht extra if yer want an egg on top. 15k!! Easy.
