I suppose I'm going to look at tickets in September. They seemed to be lowest, at a glance (1200 USD).
Thanks folks.

Personally, I won't go from April through middle October because it is either too hot or too much rain. But, those same months likely correspond to lower prices and fewer crowds.

Posts: 165Musing on booking trip #2, but this time for maybe 20 days.
What is everyone's opinion on the best month to go? Last year I visited the first part of December and I didn't find that it was too crowded (maybe only Walking is what I'd consider too crowded).
September through December, which is the best, in everyone's respected opinions?

Posts: 39Anyone out there has any info on this type of places?
Its like a sort of gogo bar but not all of the women go with men.
If you want to meet one of the girls after work you have to make a deal with her on the side.
As I understand it there are no barfines.
I read in the comments that ladydrinks are 150 baht.
Quality seems on average very high.

Posts: 2417I don't buy
Hell, it's all I can do to even rent long term. I prefer to live in hotels if I can help it, ie outside high season when hotel prices remain affordable. Being able to live in hotels like I was on a never-ending holiday is what I like about Thailand. Note that if you want to throw your lot in financially with Thailand to a certain extent yet remain mobile and liquid, buying Thai stocks is an option.

If things go south here, economy wise, and you can find another sweetheart deal, or you just get bored and want to move to say Chiang Mai or an island. You have little or no ties to prevent you. Trying to sell can be a *****. This is not Kansas my friend. I am sure you will get opposing views especially from those who made the mistake of buying and they have to man up and defend their decision. Remember they also may not be subject to the US tax code. As the saying goes UP TO YOU. Oh, and buy a diesel truck or car, the government subsidies the price of fuel because of the farmers and you milage is very good with these newer models.
$520 (less that 18,000 baht) is really good and depending where you are in the States $120,000. 00 seems cheap, cheap, cheap. But if you really are serious, rent for a year or two and then buy if that's your thing. As you may think, I pay rent, and not to a Thai. Especially not to a Thai who is not living near me. If renting you don't want to rent with an absentee landlord, if at all possible, my landlord is a farang married to a Thai. When things need to be done to the property or any issues arise with water, electricity, internet, etc. He is here to aid in fixing what need to be fixed or whatever. Some of the buyers you may hear from may have a Thai wife or GF to help get things done when only speaking Thai is essential.

Posts: 492To the posters who live long term in Thailand or surrounding country
Do you recommend buying or renting a condo? I hope to retire there next year. I have found a condo in an area of phuket for sale for $120,000 usd and for rent for $520 a month. I like the idea of owning. What has been your experiences and what is your advice?
Thanks.

The one or two times I found myself in a "girlfriend experience" I couldn't fully convince myself of the fantasy and it really just made me feel like a loser. I'd rather pay someone for sex than to go to the fucking park and look at the sunset. For some guys (mostly the Seeking Arrangement crowd), this is all they want and it appears they are able to somehow suspend disbelief. Similarly I don't get the OF thing- so apparently there are plenty guys out there that are seeking some sort of emotional connection.
The more I monger, the less emotional it becomes. You become friends with these girls on social media and see all the shenanigans they pull. It's really hard to take them seriously and get hurt by them- but that's totally fine. Lurking on FB I see guys go to Pattaya, fall "in love", try to wife up a Soi 6 girl and take them back to Scotland or to meet their teenage kids and just shake my head.
