Living in Thailand

I'm working on some life strat options with multiple runouts (lol). Theres a chance of something like this being possible but the timing is not until at least a year or so away so maybe.

There was another LP member who posted a blog or blogs on LP about his daily living in either Vietnam or Thailand. I don't remember his name, though. It was sometime within the last year.

I live in Bangkok, also mipúnia lives here
give me a shout when you here

go to twoplustwo travel forum - there's massive threads about living in asia. great for finding out info and meeting people as well

Remeber, items in Thailand are final sale /tutz

Thanks for the answers and suggestions guys!

Thanks PuertoRican, I'll check out the blogs later. Thai blogs so far have been entertaining to read.

Sure thing, I will be pleased to meet you guys there and have a beer


The 2+2 travel forum is the main reason I actually decided to move to Thailand instead of Malta. Thanks for the solid suggestion Spets. The Thai thread there is rather fun to read aswell. Lots of degen stuff going on.

if sum1 stake me 100k and ill go with u

with all honesty, how much did cheap hookers weigh in in your consideration regarding moving to thailand? :D

I was leaning towards Malta, however I had enough of italian culture and I'd rather go somewhere different with a nice weather, enjoy a good life at a cheap price and have new experiences. Hookers aren't exactly what I'm looking for.

Danang in Vietnam is also extremely beautiful and has a low cost of living...like <800$ per month... There are some hotels 2-3 minutes walk from the beach which you can rent for 300-350$ per month with no leases... It's probably the only place I would recommend to live in VN though unless you like ultra busy city life

I'm traveling to thailand in December to live for the winter. I'll be mostly doing yoga and meditation retreats.

i went to thailand for a month, i thought bangkok was the biggest degen piece of shit i've ever been to

i really enjoyed the islands

I'll also most likely have a trip to Bangkok first in a couple weeks to check things out. Anyone is currently there and would like to meet? I am also looking for other poker players to live there with. At the moment the plan is going alone but I love nightlife and chilling with friends so being there with another poker pro would be great fun.

I think one advice I can give by talking to another LPer with similar experience is to do enough research. Things like purchasing life essentials/electronics, renting a place etc., you would love to find out before you get there. Not knowing the language is going to be one very tough aspect.

For my own experience, I remember the days I studied abroad in the States not knowing names of food, amongst other things, wasn't particularly fun at the beginning. Even now that I am back in China after 7 years, I have a lot of trouble getting around as well.. Luckily I know both languages, but for you going to Thailand and live in a city, it will be a whole different story.

True man, for weeks I was eating this bbq'd street meat thinking it was chicken, until one day some girl asks, why do you like chicken assholes so much loool

Gambling still illegal in Thailand ?

I read about poker players beeing arrested, but it was a long time ago..

how many chicken do you have to kill to get a portion of assholes.

Never mess with the locals, never buy drugs, when going drinking take only what you can afford to loose, have many options to access your funds in case of emergency, get health insurance, always put a condom on, and foremost don't fall in love a bar girl.
You need to research thai coulture deeply, it is very different to what we are used to in the west. Example: you can get into deep trouble for putting your foot on a thai bank note, if you dropped it and just want to stop it from flying away.

vegan food n fruit in thailand is amazing

prob learn how to ride a bike?
