just out of curiosity what are property prices like in jomtien etc?

If you are backpacking and streetwise then 54k will be more than enough.
Theres a train goes from Bangkok Stn to Pattaya every day at 07:30. It costs 38 Bhat :)

its amazing the how different the prices are.. even after traveling i never get over it..

i mean i pay 7$ for a stubby most nites in a bar out here.. compared to that 2 bucks is nothing..

my plans simple spend up large in the cities be a backpacker while moving through everywhere else... and also less of a tourist prick who patronise locals...

Fully re-furbished studio appartment in managed complex with pool would cost around 800k Baht. A friend of mine has just purchased one.

I paid 1.5 million Baht for my 2 bed condo in 2003 and spent about 1 million on the re-ferb. Its now worth about 4.5 million Baht

You can legally own a condo in Thailand, houses are a little more complex and require a holding company - a change in the law could cause problems but I doubt the Thais would be dumb enough to let that happen.

For those interested this is probably the most knowledgeable board for Thailand

Thaivisa

Can you show me pictures of your condo?

hmmm thats not too bad.. especially since my porn career is kicking in gear it sounds like a good investment.. considering i spend nearly the equivalent of
225k baht on just rent sharing a house with four guys.. getting a morgage and paying it off would'nt be too hard..

shit i feel ripped off

Go with Fairproperties.com, awesome houses/condos - fair prices - great services. I'd recommend them to anyone :thumbsup

Oh, so horny, oh oh, so horny, they love you long time.

:winkwink:

haha...
whos in it for the beaches?? :)

Been 18 times last 4 years..............heaven on earth!!

the fucking aids rate is like 50 50 over there cover your cock

Thailand rules, although personally I wasn't a big fan of Pattaya.. I think I went into sensory overload or something :)

I loved Phuket, although from the pictures I saw of it after the tsunami, there might not be much there anymore.

If you have time, you should go check out Chiang Mai in the north as well. It isn't a beach area and is a lot more subdued than the other parts, but it's a nice town & you can get up into the mountains from there. Go see a temple & maybe check out the hill tribes.

If what you want is hookers and booze, stay in the south :winkwink:

if you love women thailand (and bangkok) is heaven on earth.

beautiful, petite, feminine, hard bodied, long haired girls so beautiful they will take your breath away. (world's apart from the overweight western girls waddling in the malls of america.)

beautiful in both body and spirit. sweet little voices, beautiful skin, the sweetest smelling, cleanest girls in the world.

best advice i can give is don't treat a whore like a whore.

treat her like a lady, a princess.

and if you do that she will begin to fall for you if you are a gentleman, and make you feel like you are king of the world.

So like how's that translate into DOLLARS??

They still use the Baht? I thought that thing dropped through the floor a long time ago.

Yes, they "still" use the Baht. You talk like the US dollar is the only money on earth.

You're talking about when the Baht's value dropped in 97 or so. Currencies, like stocks, go up and down. The Baht bounced back.

1 US Dollar = 39.42000 Thai Baht

skipping from brazil to thailand is overrated

1 mill baht is ike 25k us i think

i havent looked on this website to buy, but to rent, it's for people that are broke.. i wouldnt set foot in one of those dumps..

chiang mai is for backpackers, go there

Ugh.. you're an idiot. Don't just make up figures like that....AIDS rate isnt even close to that.. (sigh)

Yep... that is pretty accurate...

I always just say 40 baht per dollar.. but nowadays it IS closer to 38 per dollar... ah well.

its probabaly a good investment too. considering the economic growth in deveoping countires... plus people seem to be moving their holiday homes from europe etc.. to thailand and places now day cause its so much easier to buy property than it was a few years ago.

I'm in Bangkok right now, it's my first visit, i'll be here til April 9th, it's fucking awesome here :thumbsup

You'll have a blast. I went for a few days, and it was awesome!

enjoy that trip

When I stayed in bangkok, we went to PatPong, and MBK is neat to check out. Aside from that local nightlife and tuk tuk rides kept us amused.

-N

yea there are SHITLOADS of motorcycles and tuk tuks........Patpong keeps us entertained also, MBK is cool and cm2 club is awesome :thumbsup

Patpong sucks, get your ass over to Nana! :pimp

i have been there...its nice to visit the flee market, thou some kinda hard to understnd the thai peeps, its stiil great to see the buddhas...have a NICE trip :)

anyone who goes to thailand... especially unaccompanied men... will fall in love with it and instantly 99.9% of you will start plotting on how you can live there etc. I see it happen all the time.

having been to many tropical places its always hard to leave.. being in the pron industry i have a better chance than ever of actually doing it...

oh ya how much for the bikes and stuff.. plus do cops catch u if u dont have a licence?? p.s. in some countries u dont need a licence for say 80cc automatic bikes (like scooters)..
whats the deal in thailand

Great thread

/me booksmarks

oh yeah ? is it about the same as here ?

how do you go about finding a woman who's not aids infested ?

i think they should have a special area in gfy for webmasters wanting to travell.. honestly i have receieved so much good info out here than reading crappy internet backpacker sites.

I've been going there about 4 months out of the year since 1996. It's gone down hill a little since then but it's still a very cool country to hang out in.

I would first ask you WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?, and then I would give you some ideas. I have been literally all over Thailand several times from the remote mountains in the north, to the farm lands of Issan to the unstable Muslim areas in the south and every place in-between... I know a lot of cool places that most people don't go to if that's what your looking for.

May I also suggest going into Laos, Cambodia (Siem Reap - Ankor Wat) or Burma if your into culture and not just going for sport fucking. If sport fucking is what you want... You need to go right from the airport and go straight to Pattaya. It's a 2 hour taxi ride from BKK and the talent there is much higher than in BKK. Nana, Patpong and Soi Cowboy combined can not compare to Walking Street or the 1000's of beer bars in Pattaya. It must be seen to be believed...
