Right, but I stayed outside of Korat city for a month in a village, so I was trying to make the distinction. I should have said Korat and surrounding areas, maybe.

I have been staying in Korat and the Nakhon Ratchasima District this year and find it a pleasant place to be. It’s about 3.5 hrs ENE of Bangkok.

Another destination you might consider someday is Nepal. Wonderful country, inexpensive, welcoming people, fantastic views, and only a few hours by flight.

Ah, then I met with a kind officer when I told him that was my purpose (which was true—I can’t lie!).

Why do you advise not to tell them about your girlfriend?

@Abey ********
If you’re in Bangkok it will definitely be costlier than where I am, 3+ hours away. However, I have stayed in some decent places on the outskirts of the city that have a reasonable charge. I can’t recall the name of them but I could look them up if you’re interested in suggestions for lodging.

It depends on your lifestyle, I guess. I’ve been here all year and I manage on 1,000 baht or less per day on most days, excluding groceries day, when it might be closer to 2,000. My living accommodations run to about 200+ baht per day.

Should be 220 baht per transaction, + whatever fee your home bank charges.
