1) I told the guy to live NEAR the skytrain, but not right next to the whore areas. Why would you want to live in an area that is surrounded my whores, disfigured, beggars and all the hustle that comes with it when you can live in a cheaper and better area for less? If you live in that part of Sukhimvit Road your at ground zero. The skytrain has 16 stops and there are PLENTY of areas he could live in and live a normal life and not see a single whore asking him "where you go?" every time he leaves the house. If he wanted to party, he's just a couple minutes away on the train. Whores get old and living in the middle of it all would as well.

2) Language. Maybe you learned from a whore and do no real business in Thailand. If that's the case that's fine. But don't think for a second that a proper Thai does not know where you learned how to speak and that may be held against you some day if your trying to make a business power move in Thailand.

Thailand is about Buddhism, The Royal Family, social status and respect. Period. (Well, knowing the right people to get shit done never hurts) Speaking Thai learned from a Issan whore will lower your social status the moment you open your mouth. Trust me on this one.

None of this is rubbish. There are those who live in Thailand and then there are those who LIVE in Thailand. How you are perceived there or how you participate in the Thai lifestyle is up to you, but the more you learn about their culture and how it works, the better off your life is going to be. Learn their mannerisms, why they do certain things, what offends them and compliments them. Know that they have a smile for every feeling. Asian cultures, if you care to learn about them, are very complex. The more you learn about the Thai way of life, the better off you will be.
