If Money Was No Object......

[Belfastboy]

Just wondering guys...if money was no object where would you live in bangkok ?

and more importantly why?.....

[chownah]

If money were not object then I guess I'd live in the Chiangrai part of Bangkok and if you don't know why by now then there ain't no 'mount of 'splainin' goinn' to he'p you!!!

Shinawatra Tower !! and I'd also burn it down

[pnustedt]

Would not want to live in Bkk - nothing to do with money - maybe consider Nonthaburi near the river.

[Jeff Jarvis]

I'd recommend the neighborhood between Sukhumvit Soi 25 to 49.

Where I used to live was great Suk 24 in the big towers. Still about 65k a month. Shame I am in Surathani now

[pluto_manibo]

I would not want to live in Bangkok.....But if money was no object..I could commute by helicopter from Pattaya...

You misspelt it. It's Chiangrai.

[Rumpole]

If money were absolutely no object, I wonder how many people would remain in Thailand? So many better places to be, if you are truly loaded and unencumbered with the irritations of having to work for a living. One of the reasons why the place attracts very few high-rolling visitors.

Some one else must be a thick as pig &lt;deleted&gt;.... Unless he is saying that this whole country of THAILAND is....... Bangkok????? OOPS! Unless I have missed a part of Bangkok over the past 40 years...........which COULD happen

[Belfastboy]

anyhow ...i hear soi 55 on sukhumvit is nice....thong-lor?

[Drew Aitch]

At the end of that beautiful little Soi between Thonglor and Ekamai. Soi 57/59?

Or maybe in one of those fantastic houses on the right side as you walk up Suk Soi 39.

Then again, the palatial mansion left side in of Sukhumvit Soi 38 just past the food stalls.

But hey, I’m not complaining! If I wasn’t living where I am now, it’d probably be listed in my choices above! High in the sky over looking the Chao-Praya,

[Totster]

I went on one of those river trips once , saw some lovely houses on the edge of the river, I would like to live in one of those....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I would remain in Thailand just as I plan to in the future, much of the cooler seasons (e.g., Oct - Mar), and then travel about the rest of the time.

If money were no object, then I couldn't imagine remaining fixed in one place permanently. There's too much to see and do upon our wonderful little blue ball.

Hmm, judging from some of the other posts this one has gone soaring over the heads of many, at about 30,000 feet

Anyway, to answer the question, I'd live exactly where we are building a house, on 1.3 rai by the river just north of Pathum Thani.

Oh, and money most definately IS an object

The water gets a bit whiffy though...

I'd live in an apartment in lower Sukhumvit similar to the one I had in BKK 3 years ago... 18th floor, 3 bedrooms, panoramic views unobscured by other hi-rise buildings, 30-40 sq metre balcony complete with tropical garden full of orchids and plumeria, jaccuzzi, outside shower, no mosquitoes, no traffic noise, clean air, close to a BTS station and major freeway entrances, and all for 55K per month... expensive at the time for me, but the company was paying.

You don't have to be loaded to find good accomodation, but it helps!

The guy made a tiny humoristic comment about bangkok and chiang rai... and look what happened.

To state the obvious:

He meant it as a JOKE. There is no Chiang Rai in Bangkok. (however it is about as far as central bkk from the airport. 1 hour flying will get you to chiang rai. 45 minutes driving (at the wrong time of the day) will get you to central bkk. So one can claim that chiang rai is not so far from bkk ).
