New To Bkk: Need Assist ;-)

[AsiaWolfie]

actually Bangkok and Thailand was not on my list until a couple of months ago ( I did more reserach about Malaysia and Indonesia), but sometimes things can come quickly.....so now I am living at BKK since a very short time, but still not familiar with many things of the daily life (I have been to thailand and BKK many times, but its a big difference if you live in a hotel or guesthouse for a whjile, or stay at your own place). So I need some assist....any friendly person around ? I live near central Lat Phrao and have rent a small nice townhouse......but I dont know Thai language yet (not to say READ or WRITE it), and there is so many things I must or should do here now.....anybody who lives here for a longer time already would be able to give me some assist in some things of daily life ? of course I will pay for the cost or at least treat u some drinks or dinner.....

I suggest that you simply post your questions here preferably after carrying out a search of the board to see if they have not been answered already. You wil usually find a good response

Really it is not that difficult to get by in Bangkok

[AsiaWolfie]

yes I will do post some question here (like I just did about PCT minutes ago), but some things cannot be easily explained in a forum but must be shown to me in real life.....so I would like to meet up with someone actually, who can show me around.....or at least call someone.....

stay for a year or so, get to know your ghetto, blend in with the hood, in no time you will get the hang of it.

this is very sound advice, follow it and you'll get by.

why not not just get out there, plenty of farangs about.

True, almost every farang bar in town has an 'expert' more than willing to let you buy a few drinks whilst giving you the local scoop.

yes sure in the Farang bar they will do so....but i am not the Sukhumvit / Soi -Cowboy kind of person ;-))) my nightlife - if any ;-))) - rather happens at Ratchada, Saphan Kwai, Ramkamhaeng ;-)))
