Damn sorry was out last night and missed this. Josh give me a call on 0822717105 if you can. I'm heading back to CM now so I guess I'll see you when you get there!

Anyone know where to get a nespresso or keurig coffee machine in thailand?

Havent read the whole thread so apologizing if it has already been written.

I would like to get in touch with someone living in Chiang Mai as Im moving there end of May.

Can anyone please let me know who, from 2+2, live up there?

****. I just assumed there would be Vietnamese food everywhere. I've tried some rice noodle and beef thai soups, they just aren't the same. I suppose I can fly out to Saigon for visa changes.

i just picture kotkis getting off the plane and hearing a couple sentences of thai, thinking for like 15 seconds then being fluent

EZ, just change tha language of your keyboard, in XP you might have a blue EN box at the bottom right, if you have that click it and change ti to TH.

Else:
-go into control panel
- regional and language options
- then the languages tab
- click details
- click add and choose thai

If it's not in the list, you should go to the languages tab again, and check the checkbox "install files for complex script...."

Hope this works..

will your keyboard insert a smiley face if I draw one to your enter key?

yea, just change the language for the keyboard and voila

kind of a noob on visa runs, i heard ppl saying before that if you leave and reenter thailand by land then you only get 15 days in the country or something like that, does this still apply if i already have 2 entries left on my tourist visa? So basically do i have to fly to get the 2 months

you get 15 days if you dont have a visa

it doesnt matter if you land from spaceship to thailand if you have tourist visa you will get 60 days

seems airasia doesnt have spaceships though

There are still lots of Vietnamese places in Thailand for Pho and all the other standard fare. If you are in BKK you can order delivery from Sweet Basil, via Chefsxp. From there I recommend the Hanoi Marbles - Nam Nuong. If you are Paragon there is a place called Pho on the food floor which is ok and reasonably priced. Just look around a bit more and you'll be surprised at how many places there are. But a visa run to Saigon would def work too. The food there is fantastic and super cheap. Plus two liter jugs of beer (bia hoi) for 42 cents isn't bad either (and hot Viet womenz, cool war museums, and general insanity)

Yes some of us have. I tend to prefer Issan peoples , in general to the fake hiso BKK types.

Basiclly, if you get out of BKK or Phuket prices drop almost everywhere in Thailand.

Nong Khai seemed really cool. Stayed there 1 night several times.

Yep Nong Khai is cool.


Yep did the squat shtter multiple times. But, compared to conditions in the field in the military, didn't phase me.


Yes, attitudes of the "I have hiso Thai friends who hae Hiso families" can get quite boring.

The beaches/mountains are what kept me in Phuket for years now.

I can't say it any more clearly than to STAY THE **** AWAY FROM ANY LAO/CAMBODIA/THAI CASINOS UP THERE.

khap



PS WHy didn't you ever meet up with us for BBall or football in Phuket?

scandi's go and give us a tr? Seems to cost 55k a night

Yeah that place is insane. They have an elephant camp there and you stay in superballer 'tents'. Last I heard it was $2k/night though.

Hi,
so I'm planning on coming out at the end of the month will be looking to rent an apartment for at least 6 months to a year.

I want to know which areas I should be looking at where are most of the 2+2s at?

When you guys came out how did you do it book a hotel for a few nights and just explore in them few days looking for a place to rent?

I have about 6 months living expenses saved up and also grind online for future monies so need a place with good internet.

Will bring my laptop is it easy to buy a new monitor over there?

Can answer for BKK.

The main areas 2+2ers stay are Sukhumvit (Asoke/Phrom Phong/Thong Lor/Ekkamai) and Silom. Ratchada is another area 2+2ers stay which is a bit cheaper but a bit further from the 'main' attractions/nightlife.

You can look online for ideas, but best to stay in a hotel for a week and get an agent to help you look when you arrive. www.thaiapartment.com and www.bkkcondos.com are two good websites. Alot of places only accept 12 months rent, some will accept 6 months usually serviced apartments, most require 2 months deposit upfront and 1st months rent.

Internet is usually best when you install it yourself, true our what I'm using and would reccommend, rarely disconnects and achieves 8mb download speeds. It's ~1.2k baht a month. Think it takes 2-3 days to install.

24" monitors are easy to buy in BKK, sell for around 10k baht in stores like Siam Paragon/Emporium.

good plan

Bangkok&Phuket. They are completely different kind of places so you have to see both to know which one you want to live in.

yup stay in some hotel first and look for a place is the best plan imo

can do

not as easy as in western world but still doable. depends how big you want. you can get under 24" easily anywhere. atm if you want 24-26" in phuket you have to order it from bangkok (store can do this for you). havent seen one live for a while. from bangkok you have better choice

have to agree with our oldtimer here

i have yet to experience the **** in the squat toilet but i am sure it beats ****ting with on a field with 1m of snow with no cover at -25C. has experience of that

Thanks for the quick feedback.

I'm not really looking for a place where the nightlife is crucual. I'm 22 from UK so been going clubbing for 4 years now and theres days I much prefer just drinking in a pub/bar.

What I want to get out of this is just to get away from life in Uk (London) looking to grind online 5 days a week, while living near a beach and hopefully meet some other poker players who play online.

if you want beach+2+2'ers you are left with phuket

and it's not a bad choice

OOOOH! Never tried that one. Brings up frightening stories of Germanz troops dieing on the eastern front from congealed *******s.
