Now where did my Hua Hin post go to?
Anyone have this problem on WP of posts or pages just going from their sites?
Skytrain – BTS – Rot Fai Far
Yeah, the sky train – I have just read an article on this form of transport and the person praising it. Ok, its fast, compared to a taxi it is very fast and can be cheap as well if you buy the 30 day pass and recharge it with 30 or so credits. The person who wrote the article was saying that the standard was better than being on the Tube. I have been on the tube a few times and I think its pretty much the same – I can often get a seat on the tube and often can get a seat on the BTS.
One thing which is really annoying on the BTS is the beeping that happens just before they close the door! It is soooo loud on the Sukhumvit line – it hurts my ears so much – please turn it down just a little.
Has any anyone ever noticed the Silom line trains can smell of cannabis when you get on after changing in Siam? I am 100% sure it is not cannabis, but it does have the same smell, maybe its the air freshener they are using.
Should I go to Pattaya?! Living in Pattaya, Cheap Accommodation?
Ok, ok – I know its sleeze central, but it does have parts which are not like this, its close to Bangkok, lots of housing opportunities, big ex-pat population – its cheap.
Well, I would welcome your advice from anyone who has stayed there for a long time.
I would like to know about meeting people, places to stay (near ex-pats would be good), pubs, places to eat, thai language school, internet – who is the best internet provider? I hate the slowness off all the places I have stayed around Thailand so far. I think the only way to go is to get my own private connection which means renting a place for 6 months or so. I imagine the contract is for a year, so how easy is it to move to a new address once I have signed up for a year – I get bored pretty quickly.
1 Year In Thailand
Welcome to my first year of living in Thailand!
Its been an interesting year, met lots of people, been to many bars and had lots of visitors over to see me.
I decided to stay here for a year as I have always been interested in Thailand since my first visit over 10 years ago.
I was blown away by the place, it was a real culture shock to me and the most foreign place I had ever been to. I was on a trip to Australia with my mate Brits. We both had working holiday visas for Oz and decided to make a stop over in Thailand before we hit sunny Australia. I did enjoy my time in Australia, but to be honest, I was always thinking in the back of my mind to revisit Thailand. I did revisit at the end of the Australia trip and managed to stay for year 2000 celebrations before heading back to the UK.
