mauiguy90 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 You pay 70 - I pay 17. We are both happy. I live outside the zone (not by much). Soi Onnut. That's funny! I pay 17 also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samran Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 sanaam bao, or soi ari would be my choice for a family oriented location. it is a VERY nice area. I used to live there too, and would love to buy a house there. Oops, but hold on, lets not. There are bars around there to, and it is full of politicians. Better forget it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_Pat_Pong Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The Lolitas team of BJ specialists dress like schoolgirls so your kids might get mistaken as part of the crew?On the sleaze scale of 1 - 10, I give Soi 8 a rating of 7.5. on a rating of bizarre responses I would rate yours a perfect 10! are you for real ? I live in soi 13 and that is the shortcut to hanrahans where i often dine and meet friends. Now you got me worried because opposite lolitas is a gay establishment does that mean that I have been mistaken as part of their crew? Come to think of it I am kind of cute after a few drinks so from now on Im walking the long way just to be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfchandler Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 To the OP, I've lived at the back end of Soi 8 for months, and I think it's a great location, even for a family. And indeed, there are many falang families and couples who live in the various condos/apartments on this street. Once you get past the first two blocks of businesses at the front end of the Soi along Sukhumvit Road (restaurants, shops, Thai massage, 7-11, etc), it's pretty much all single homes, condos and apartments for the rest of the soi. It's a quiet and friendly area, and the front of the Soi comes out at the Nana BTS Skytrain station, which is great for travel. Yes, there is a BJ bar at the back end of one side soi of Soi 8 where the staff dress in school uniforms. But you could walk up and down Soi 8 itself for months and never even know the bar was there, unless you went looking for it. The ladies come out to the main soi to get food, and then go back to work. But as other posters said, they never bother anyone. In fact, there's a REAL thai school just a block or two down on the soi where REAL Thai school kids in uniforms regularly go walking up and back on their way to school. Another advantage, Soi 8 deadends at the back of the soi, meaning there is NO thru traffic on the street, something that's hard to find in BKK. So, when I'm home at night, there is virtually no traffic or noise on the street outside. And that's a true blessing in BKK. For me, I found a very nice, large two bedroom, two bathroom apartment here for 15,000 baht, which also was the best price I found on the soi, with other places (smaller but more modern) ranging from 18-22,000. The Soi 8 location is just two BTS stops to the whole Siam shopping area in one direction, and one stop the other direction to the Asoke MRT subway line, and just a couple stops more the same way to the falang-oriented Emporium shopping and eating complex. I'm sure there are many good places around BKK for a family to consider, with varying rental prices depending on the area. But speaking from personal experience, Soi 8 is a great place to call home, even if you NEVER go looking for a bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I pay 18k for 200m+ in soi 10. And I'm moving out. Highly implausible. I have a friend who has about 300 m2 in 71. He's been there for 10 years. 35,000 per month & believe me it's a steal. Not a condo. A printing business built a 3 BR apartment for the owners son but he moved overseas. After 5 pm he can play his stereo as loud as he likes. Tell us where you live so we can go verify this price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also know a place in soi Tonson that is the same size/price. Highly implausable? Hardly. I'll show you my rent rent invoice if you show up with a case of beer. ie put up or shut up!
