My ICQ is always free for info on Thailand. Lots of guys hit me up.

It really depends on what you want to do here and what your lifestyle is. Tell me that, and I'll give some suggestions.

What is your lifestyle? What is a decent place to you? You can spend as little as $100 for a small basic room, or as much as $3000+ for a nice beach house. It's all up to what you want.

Electric will be expensive (compared to everything else) if you use the aircon often. I pay around 4000 Thai Baht ($117) for a place that runs 3 aircons, 2 of which are running around the clock.

Internet runs around 1200b ($35)- 2000b + ($58+) depending on what speed you need. I also suggest a VPN if you are living and working here. I use StrongVPN.com for $15 a month. You could also use a free proxy list.

Most are. Come over for a visit and check it out. Don't make any plans unless you come and see the place first and spend some time here. It's not for everyone.
