Spoonman Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 do what I did, shag yourself silly for the first 6 weeks or until it gets boring bedding different women and then settle down to a normal life as you would anywhere else Thats pretty much how it went for me. I moved straight into Pattaya. I had no idea what was to great me. but was emptying a load within 30 minutes of arrival. !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BADDAT Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 How long are you staying for and you state you have been here two months already? What in particular is difficult to adjust to? What type of music or entertainment are you into for work? BTW...don't expect too much from peoples responses. You will probably get some "if you cant adjust, get the hell out of here" viewpoints and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicindustry Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 do what I did, shag yourself silly for the first 6 weeks or until it gets boring bedding different women and then settle down to a normal life as you would anywhere else haha I hear thats a great way to adjust I'm sure your Music Buddies will show you how to party. Just be a rock star for 2 months you won't regret it. Planning on it brother! How long are you staying for and you state you have been here two months already? What in particular is difficult to adjust to? What type of music or entertainment are you into for work? BTW...don't expect too much from peoples responses. You will probably get some "if you cant adjust, get the hell out of here" viewpoints and what not. Its my second day. Here alone living in Din Daeng 7500/month apartment. Employees coming next month so we'll have to get somewhere bigger. Just need to learn Thai I suppose. I'm a dance music/nightlife CEO from NYC and also a performer and I have a big fan base already built in thailand as well as a thailand division of the company so I'll be in demand for performances for next month. Every english speaker I talked to was very wise and informative here which is why I'd like to learn from you guys, you're all probably more experienced than the people I've met so far.

Cypress Hill Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 having a little trouble adjusting Really?? On your second DAY ??!! OK well I don't mean to be blunt but his isn't a place for needy people. Bangkok is kindest to those who are self-reliant, independent and capable of being alone for extended periods of time. Don't rush into any friendships or relationships here. A ridiculously high proportion of tossers here ESPECIALLY in the scene you're involved in. Here - more than any vices you may have - the company you keep can be your biggest weakness 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Din Daeng LOL, crumby 7,500 baht per month apt, ROFL. Sack whoever booked you in there. Wouldnt be letting the Ratchada/Thong Lor Or RCA groupies know where you live, heck they probably live in better areas and apts their sponsors provide. I can think of many adjectives to use to describe Din Daeng, native wouldnt be one, heck even the Thais laugh at the name. If thats your photo, its a bit passe, the Thais favour the KPop look these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning to relocate by next month after we get the next investment. People said I should go to Soi 11. Not sure where to get a place without wild animals for a normal price. All I'm really good at is business and partying lol. No the pic isn't me but I'm italian/puerto rican. Added a Thai edge to my appearance lately and loving it. I want a motorcycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to Wai everyone, even foreigners if you really want to fit in. Often stopping by a spirit house and giving it a Wai is also acceptable, the locals in Din Daeng will appreciate it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats your photo, its a bit passe, the Thais favour the KPop look these days. The locals are only negative about Din Daeng Flats but the area is much bigger and basically stretches all the way east up to Suttisan left from Ratchada. Most groupies live actually in this area and it's not that bad. Mostly working class, taxi drivers, office workers, massage parlor workers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
