Farang owned bars lose money, and soon appear for sale on Sunbelt-Asia and similar places.

Most Thai owned bars generally do okay.

Actually most of the aforementioned brands, when imported, are a similar price or significantly more expensive here.

For sure, Thai clothes are great, but they'll definitely be certain items and products of which you'll need to buy European or American brands.

Who, for example, could live without: Diesel,...

Good post OTH!

Yeah, cost of living over here can easily become very expensive. It's very easy to spend a few thousand dollars per week.

It's all well and good living Thai budget style but...

Plenty of sex toys for sale at Patpong.

Not actually in the main market but from stalls on Silom.

From Issan, Vientiene is a good choice.

From anywhere else it isn't.

The only reason I used to buy medical insurance was in case I had a fucking bad accident and didn't want my family having to spend a fortune trying to repair me, or keeping me in an expensive coma.
...

I just have to say:

I fucking hate Golf+Mike.

Kai = Sell
Ya = Medicine

Rahn kai ya = Pharmacy

Now look what our beloved PM is up to!

This forces us residents to get laid every single night instead of an occassional quiet night in.

Wonder if they'll block ISG?

If I suddenly go AWOL...

Plenty of WiFi in BKK.

Outside of hotels, the most convenient are the KSC Hotspots at every branch of Starbucks. (Every branch in the whole country!).

You buy a scratchcard, get online, then...

Be aware that under Thai employment law there are few jobs available to foreigners. Practically any job that can be done by Kohn Thai cannot legally be given to Farang.

Well, I think the reason they get so much shit is because most aren't trained or qualified to teach a language, and are doing so because they have run out of money. I meet plenty of English teachers...

What makes you think that?

Besides Bumrungrad there are millions of other good dental surgeries in BKK to choose from.

Yes, the Thailand Yellow Pages.

Sumimazen- NO! I am most certainly NOT teaching English.

The Traveler- Non-immigrant B visa, no work permit. Valid for one year and have to leave the country every ninety days. Apparently these...

Yeah, if you're gonna live there yourself, or rent to Farang, then stick close to the BTS.

Both Rachada and Lat Phrao excellent locations.

After buying several properties I haven't once had to declare what the money was to be used for once it entered LOS.

If you're transferring funds online I don't think there is even an option to...

No, no, fucking no! I most certainly do not have a Thai wife, am still a young slutty boy and won't be getting married for at least two hundred years, maybe longer.

But, yes, I do live in Thailand...

Condos in Thailand are surprisingly cheap, especially those not in the tourist zones.

I'm younger than you and have owned a few for several years. If you paid in installments I'd imagine one...

Wherever you are in the world buying is always better than renting if you are to be in one place for more than a couple of years.

They certainly do in my building. Although this sometimes has its advantages.

Stupid DTAC has one advantage- it is a lot cheaper.

But AIS still rules! And of course it is owned by the wonderful Mister Taksin, who we must love and obey.

Hamilton, don't be a dick- DTAC is the worst network, go for AIS.

It's the obvious, and only choice.

Foreign weddings in Chiang Mai are extremely popular, and it is definitely a good town for couples or honeymooners.

I think the most popular wedding venue right now is the new Mandarin Dhara Dhevi...
