hey guys first of all thx for the thread, i have a few question i am sure a lot already been covered but this is a hell of a thread ...

Iam almost 20 and iam german fwiw.

So iam willing to move to thailand at 1. november and stay there for long. I am planning to stay at least 1 year but ive never been there before so take that fwiw.

Because i need a stable internet connection of course i thought i have to decide weather i want to stay in pattaya or BKK at least for the first 6 months and since i want to live at the sea i thought pattaya would be a good start and jomtiem beach would be a fair place in pattaya.
Id like to hear what u think of that and if u have any suggestion about other nice places with a stable internet connection.


Since i travel alone i want to get a (baller) condo with large balcony, pool table or jacuzzi or /and stuff like that.
From what ive seen at the internets prices for those are insane, i mean thyere still cheap but not what i expected to see when i read this thread.Of course its because they want to sell if for rich farangs but i have no clue how to avoid that. I found houses are cheaper then condos in proportion, is that true?

Anyone would like to help me to get settled?

Would be really aprecciated.

I was in Pattaya from the end of December thru the middle of February. In both the hotel and my apartment, a 6 unit building where my landlord provided wireless to the tenants utilizing his architecture firms internet access, I was unable to have internet service reliable enough to play poker. There was an earthquake off the coast of Taiwan at the end of December that may be the cause, and the problems it caused may have been fixed; however, I currently have the opinion that playing online poker from Pattaya may not be possible. Even in my hotel in BKK (stayed from mid Nov. to mid Dec. prior to the earthquake) at times I was unable to play online as the connection would simply get too slow during certain times of the day. The problems while in Pattaya were slow service and frequent disconnects.
