Default Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand

while I dont plan going (near future) I do plan on going (far future).

How much will this cost;
[*]1 round trip ticket from SFO to BKK. Baught 8 month in advance for "best season to visit BKK"
[*]30 nights in a house/condo/apt/hotel that has two beds. Not a total dump, but not a baller pad. Something that would look "regular" in USA. Pool. Kitchen. Internet. Location should not be in heart of downtown. I need a few miles of buffer zone.
[*] 4 meals a day. 1 of the meals is delivered sushi to my pad. 1/2 galon of filtered water every day
[*] 30 days of transportation. (10 miles average trip in taxi/day) 10 miles by public transit/day
[*] 10 nights of clubbing. 12 alcahol drinks each clubbing night
[*] 10 nights of other non-free activities (non prostetution)Fight shows, museums, golf, etc..
[*] shopping; 10 DVDs, 2 "designer" suits, 2 T shirts, 1 hat, shot glass, 3 other things
[*] miscellaneous expenses (picking up school girl and spoiling her etc..)

Dude your asking questions that have many different answers. Prices varry greatly and we have already mentioned 'general prices' many times in this thread.

" 30 days of transportation. (10 miles average trip in taxi/day) 10 miles by public transit/day"

Where did you come up with this number?

"1 round trip ticket"

So you want one of us to do a price search online for you? How hard is it to find airfare prices?

All of the things you mentioned are extremely broad and vague questions. You can go clubbing for $20 or $200. Why do you need "a few mile buffer zone" in bangkok?

I stay 2 years now in Thailand and I have for the whole time some roommates I really hate (no not drunken thai man):

ANTS!

After eating some chocolate or nuts my girlfriend has to clean up immediately or (in case shes working) after a couple of hours or so I have an antshighway in my room. They hide normally behind the sockets or behind chinks or holes in the wall.

What I do is to try rid of them with Baygon or some other spray but they come back.

You know a better measures to get rid of them or do I just have to live with this problem (what some expats told me)?

Baby powder works ok. Or, you can get some stuff at a hardware store that works well.

push this thread up to 1k posts.

"10 miles day travel" = pulled out of my ass. Have no idea, rough estimate.

"buffer zone" = have an image of downtown BKK being a wild area with noise and action 24/7. I'd like to be away from the center where Im not a sardine squeezed into can. I guess a little more remote location, while still being in the hairy part.

"3 other things" = yet to find out. I guess 3 things I cant get in USA. We shall see. BR managment is correct; IM not trying to buy expensive stuff.

I agree many of my questions seem like im high/drunk/ not thiking clearly.
