Dude if you have a lot of time (which you do), just find a forest monastery, walk in, and ask if you can stay. If that particular one can't help you it's likely that they will direct you to someone that can. Will be a million times better than any course that's offered at some city monastery where the monks all have cell phones.

What about the other way around? By that I mean do real girls hang out with ladyboys? So a group of 4 girls, 3 for sure girls and 1 possible ladyboy (I mean some girls are hot yet look sorta mannish ie fergie, keira knightley imo)

Offdabeat, Please show me a 4 bedroom townhouse in Sathorn area close to BTS for 25k baht a month.

I love the Sathorn area and Im currently looking for something 2+ bedrooms around that price range.

Check the bangkok post 3 or 4 bedroom townhouse for 25k ( was still in the classified section last time i checked ) there also a house to rent near my place i'll check the price.

I think price varies a lot in BKK by locations. It generally costs a lot more to live in the city center although why you would want to is another matter it's so crowded,congested and polluted.
That Riverside Win apt looks a cut above even the Centerpoint Serviced apartments I stayed at on Lumpini near all the Embassies.

Are Chinese people lighting [censored] on fire in Thailand too?

Last saturday a bunch of guys from the US were tipping dancers from my usual haunt with 1000 bahts notes... The mamasan latter told one of them the short time room is 900 ( it's 300 or free if they know you ) and the actual short time with the girl was 6000... they paid

I'm talking about some kind of pagan ritual where Chinese people are burning paper and [censored] in kettles in the street. WTF are they doing?

yes same same here.
smells good though

please do so

luckychancer > what do you mean by "center"? only nana/ksr or the whole red zone on that map? http://www.foodbyphonebkk.com/map.html

they don't seem to provide internet connexion in the room?

How often have any of you seen king cobras or tree vipers? I would be worried hiking or something away from the city.

Me surprised at your insensitve wording.

Pls to not be insulting Buhddist rituals or observances.

How do you think a SOuthern Baptist "dunk em in da river" baptism might look to a native Asian?

Are you leveling? I'm pretty sure this wasn't Buddhist.

Lol, I literally lived in the jungle and didn't see any snakes. I saw plenty of geckos, some toads, and even a walking stick. Nasty stuff.

Just ask them and they will

I wanted to post a joke about how i see a king cobra each time i go pee but i won't.

Instead please enjoy this picture :

Damn I miss Thailand. Living there for nearly 3 years really spoiled me. I will be buying my ticket back very soon.

Ugggh. I'm pretty sure I'd rather see king cobr everytime I go pee rather than another douchey, tatted up, "sokopo" farang.

PS I'm assuming that's not you ofdabeat.

LOLZA hadn't seen this.

ESP LOLZA since an uber drunk Saudi guy bought me a beer at one of the "after hours" beer cooler stands on the beach a couple of nights ago. As soon as he found I was 'Merican he couldn't stop saying "FK Bush and FK Saudi gubment! We, the peoples of the countries be friends!" He was also uber thankful that I informed his super drunk son that the "Lady" he had chosen for the evening was in fact a katoey.

Hi everyone, im a thailand enthusiast as you all are.

I emailed degen and he has answered most of my questions.
-Those are the ones he thought i should ask here


-Which site would you recommand to find a studio downtown bangkok that is in a secured building w/ internet,gym,pool and that looks a little baller(furnished)? Can i rent it before actualy showing up? if not.. where do i stay the first nights? random hotel?


- what's the name of the adaptor i need for my computer/monitors

cars... how much are cars there? like skylines or wahtever you can only get imported here? can you rent them ? if so do you have to pay much in advance?
i know about the roads and that taxis are the best but im just a sick fan of speeding and high end cars, id like an estimate.. i was on the verge of buyin a g35 here


-health insurance. is it worth it or doctors are cheap enough? (where to find a good one?)


Thanks, ill be there soon!

Any chance you can post the answer on the questions he did answer? :-)

Mine worked fine since my power adapters for both take a variety of currents and voltages. For example, the brick that powers my laptop says Input 100-240v, 50-60hz. Depending on what country you're from, you may need an adapter so you can actually plug it in because the shape is different.

Travel health insurance is really cheap if you're young. I would just get some. I'm not sure about this, but I think you get taken to the crap public hospital if you don't have insurance in case of an emergency.
