i have lived in Bangkok and had a nice apartment at the Emporium. here is my opinion
1) air.... this place has some of the worst polution on the planet and you almost can't breath on some of the bigger streets at times (sukhumvit etc) due to all the traffic and scooters
2) traffic. give up the idea of owning a car. it just wont make sense.
3) smell. combine 100 degree heat, exhaust fumes and streets that smell like garbage and its not pretty.
4) restuarants. some of the finest in the world and dirt fucking cheap. this is probably the best thing about bangkok for someone who does not think with thier dick.
5) rent. you can rent a big ass apartment with maids quarters etc etc very cheaply there. much cheaper than the in any western country. you can have a maid do all your cooking, shopping and cleaning as well for very cheap.
6) tourists. if being surrounded by middle aged, obese white guys with a girl that looks 12 under his arm disturbes you as much as it does me, then you wont like taking a stroll down the street EVER.
7) sex. its everywhere. its cheap. but unless you have a screw lose or hormone issues, you can only fuck so much before you have to start looking around and wondering what else there is to do.
