offcourse it has to do with the season, but its sick that they double the prices, here its like 100bht more
i dont like phuket cause of high prices for everything, maybe i should just stay here cause i prolly end up doing same **** but have to pay more
on the other hand maybe not cause the go go´s in phuket are a joke, so i prolly save some there and better beaches so i might actually spend some time on them

so gimme some hotel recommendations! khrap!

if you get out of the tourist beaches you can find things cheaply there too

but obviously phuket is on average more expensive than other places

I'm sure this has been asked before in this humongous thread, but what are some good sites to view houses for rent in Chiang Mai (or anywhere else for that matter)?

These are good places to start looking for Chiang Mai. Their are a few other sites as well but they have slipped my mind atm

At the moment we pay zero, which might change once the government realises how many people are doing it. People with real jobs pay euro-style taxes though. Australia also has a nationwide 10% GST/VAT which applies to everything except fresh food.

We also have euro-style excise taxes on all the good things in life like Alcohol, Tobacco etc. A pint costs $8 and a pack of cigarettes $12-14 in perth.

I help my parents out by providing them an unused social security number with which they are free to use to dodge tax in any way they see fit. I estimate this saves them around $60,000 per year by writing off company expenses as CEO salary paid to me which I never receive.

Taxation is theft, peace out.

god taxes are so gay, especially when im not even in my ***** country.....

can anyone recommend me some good rooftop restuarants in bkk, preferably japanese but anything niceish will do

The girls you have one night stands with wants money or a longtime relationship even if they say the are not working girls. You are just too stupid to understand it.

When you dont give them money the day after they are too embarresed to ask for it.

All my friends that has lived in Thailand for 3-20 years are joking about guys like you, because many of them have also been this naive once.

Thailand attracts some of the worlds biggest idiots, this people come here and treat thai people like **** just because they most often get away with it. This idiots give falangs a bad rep offcourse.

Falangs are therefore sadly idiots in a thai persons mind until proven otherweis, this is just natural and common sense.

I would myselfe probably have beaten up this idiots every ****ing day if I would have been born and raised here. I almost feel like doing it even now when I am not born here. When I see a falang beat up a thai girl tho, I cant help myselfe, they get there ass kicked.

A thai girl has her hole life heard about all the **** falangs come up with here in Thailand. Offcourse she knows it is a BIG possibility that also you are a scum when she meets you at a club for the first time. It does not matter how good loking, funny or good at dancing you think you are.

Offcouse everything is POSSIBLE, and once in 100 times maybe you could run into a girl that would do it for one reason or another. But you guys who I am adressing this post to, argue that you can do this on will if you just work that girl good, and to you I just say WAKE UP for **** sake.

those rates probably aren't even steep enough in high season. I know that the summer breeeze is regularly booked solid for large stretches of time in the high season, and they should probably be charging a little more then. It's rarely more than 25% occupancy in low season, and there's a correct balancing formula for that as well, but i have no idea if they are doing that right or not.

anyway, I always recommend Summer Breeze. the sexpat's common wisdom is to stay at C&N, but the internet is miserable there.

Just remember, a thai girl going to the hotel with you for a onenightstand saying she is not a prostitute does not automaticely mean she is not. It does not either mean that she is not looking for a long term relationship with a falang that can give her a better life.

Sorry about my nagging about the "non working girl" issue I am done now and will not adress this issure no more.

true of all girls imo

Thomas realllllly wants to start this debate for the 15th time.

BANHAMMER! this is why your here roger!



also lol @ having expat friends who have lived in thailand for 20yrs.



RSXPUNK- its not rooftop but the japanese place in my hotel looks pretty sick, but it will cost $$$.

Yea, I usally lie about having friends that has been living in Thailand for 20 years. Wanna make a prop bet? He is here right now.

It is too many internet nerds in the lower 20s here that believes they know it all even tho they have not the life experience to back it up, are you one of them? Just because you just have discovered Thailand and probably feels very cool about it does not mean that others have not discovered Thailand long time before you did.

You accusing me to lie about a simple things as this makes me wonder.

How the hell can you even come up with something that ridiculous?

not accusing you of lying lol


just makes it obviously why your perspective is so messed up. your probably 20 years older than every other poster ITT(maybe including ron!).

Sorry wrong posting

Ha, ha MY perspective messed up!? I am 37 years old and have a life experience that most of you guys NEVER will get.

I know people who has lived here for 20 years, I was here first time myselfe maybe 12 years ago, hell yea, I probably know more about Thailand than you.

Can you please tell me how experience can mess up perspective? You really think that a first time traveller or maybe you if you just been here a year or something would have a better clue of what is going on in this country that people who has been here 5-20 years?

Tell me little bit about your life experience and Thailand experience to make you say that your perspective about Thailand is more correct than mine?

How many years have you lived here? What have you done here so far? Also please tell me in what way my perspective are messed up?

i think thomas knows more about thailand than everyone else

everyone else should stop posting

lol the dirty expats are BY FAR the worst part about thailand, I find it funny how you are so proud to be one

Thai visa is that way >>>

wtf, so many people living/been there long time but only one recommendation and its summer breeze, only hotel with good internet in patong? :O

this.



sorry for letting him piss me off, I really shouldn't say anything that will make him post more.

Would be nice if you also wrote WHY I should be banned? Is it because you find it uncomfortable that I am bursting the bubble you live in?

what is an expat? a westerner who now resides perm in thialand?

What? Please explain further I really dont understand. What is dirty expats and what makes me one?

For me one of the worst thing about thailand is all the idiots coming here and all of a sudden believes they are all that, just because the thai people treat them like they do.

This pathetic figures often was losers and nobodys in there home country and when they get the attention they get in Thailand they start to believe they are cool for real, and that they know it all.

well most of the people living here don't stay in patong nor in hotels. I've been here almost 2 years and haven't stayed one night in hotel and have no clue which ones have good internet

forgot 2+2 has ignore function
