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.

Yeah... you could always live in Un-Nut for 5000 Baht a month ($125 USD)
Or you could live out at Jatujak... for the same money.. they are both on the Skytrain... but you would be living in a single room.
Sure living around Sukhumvit and Silom is not $125 a month... but its the coolest zone ever... it got bars and restaraunts, english speaking folk.. fellow farangs...

Shit is it... i better remove my picture of Rama V and my buddhist symbols from the house. Funny i learnt most of my thai from Whores and Ferangs... and in my day to day meetings and conversations with Thai people i often find that speaking Isaan and Thai leads to many fair priced deals, opened doors, easy solutions to everyday problems... think about the fact that the security gaurds at your door are Isaan, your Cab drivers are mostly Isaan, the lady cooking Pad Thai is probably from Isaan, all the girls at the seven eleven are from Isaan, the guy at Central Chidlom selling TV's is from Isaan..... could i name more of the day to day people you deal with living in Bangkok (either in Asoke or Un-nut) that are from Isaan.

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.

Culture? O fuck that i came for the whores! But seriously you wanna chat on about Thai culture... man i could go on for hours... you know they have culture up there in Isaan too.... its not just rice and buffalos and whores.
