Re: Where to stay in southern Thailand?

Right now, the best place to stay is as high up as possible. Last years rainy season never really ended and this years has started early - hence the flooding :(

Re: Newbie From dorset UK in Bangkok

I don't think it's as easy to teach at schools in Thailand these days, but I'm sure you'll do fine with private tuition. Just make sure you have the correct visa/permit in place :thumbup:

Re: Lost in Thailand!

I like Karon Beach, just far enough away from the anal passage of Thailand... Patong.

Re: Looking to spend 6/7 months in Thailand from Dec 2010

You will have to get yourself an Non-Immigration 'O' visa. You will have to leave the country every 3 months on a "Visa Run". If you find work when you are here, you can apply for a work permit.

Re: Quality of life in Thailand on 80,000.00 Baht a year

If you mean 16,000 baht (around 400 quid) per week then you will have a very nice lifestyle.

Re: Destinations/Accomodation in Thailand

I agree. You may as well go to Blackpool instead of Pattaya.

Hua Hin is a good place only 3 hours from BK, but a little on the expensive side. If I were you, I'd jump on a plane to Phuket and stay...
