I live in Cornwall, England right now, soooo, the inside of a cardboard box would be more entertaining.

They don't like farang working in there country.

Really? I'm super dashing though, would that help?

The best deal on rents are townhouses, which can be as little as 5000bt. I just moved from a 3 story, 4 bedroom spot for 7200bt. The prick lost his job and started to look at me as an ATM. He thought he could jack the rent to 15k. Now he's suckin wind.

As Saigon said, "they don't like farang!"

You know, you could replace "Thais" with "Cornish" and a lot of us emmets would agree with the statement. In some parts of Cornwall you'll still find "English out" graffiti (Cornwall is part of England btw, like, fully, not some Scotland or Wales deal).

Sounds like a few people have had a rough ride in BK. But, isn't that life? Regardless of where you settle down, there's always people trying to pull a fast one...hell, my landlord wrote to me only last week saying my rent is going up for no good reason after only 13 months of living there.

Not saying I don't appreciate the warnings, it's good to hear all sides...but if we all played it safe there'd be no "expats" and there's certainly enough on this forum alone to make me think it's possible and worth a shot.

Bangkok is not what it once was, before the visa crack downs and martial law sure it was great .

The fun days are over and bkk has become boring and expensive , a beer in Nanak plaze will set you back 4 Aussie dollars thats 35 cents of more than in kings cross Sydney.

You might have some luck but I know for a faact that a shit load of expats moved on from Thailand and there must be good reason for it, even can Cambodia it rapidly getting more expensive and boring with every man and his dog going for the expat experience..,..............
