what the freaking hell are you talking about my wife’s name is not Karen . Most the slim Thai girls are not what I call very nice but hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, everyone to there own. You enjoy, Pattaya is for the single man not for families and couples.
mate we went there for the first time in 15 years of coming to Thailand a week or so ago, for a week. We never went as it was always billed as the sex capital of Thailand and it really lived up to its reputation. We thought all the girlie bars were contained in Walking Street, not so the are all over the beach front and everywhere else. The streets are tacky and the bars seedy, the only redeeming feature is the 168 Indian restaurants .😂😂😂😂
Pattaya is a huge girlie bar, very tacky filled with dirty old men, been once never go back. Hua Hin is a very relaxed town in the Gulf about 3 hours from Bangkok , the others are too touristy for us .
I’m in Hua Hin , yesterday we applied for a 30 day extension on our visa , a couple of hours and baht 1900 each. That gives you 60 days , not sure if you can do it again or it’s a visa run.
England is not horrid it’s got a lot of pluses as has Thailand . A lot of people leave England for warmer climates but return as they can’t stand the heat. Over the years we’ve been following the lovely houses built around Hua Hin by an English builder, 3 bedrooms,

bathrooms, pool etc , but they have not gone up in value for

years where the rest of the property around the world has skyrocketed. Rent out their house, rent a house in Thailand and probably have a monthly income from the rent in England after paying for the rent in Thailand , then after a few years make a decision as to buy or continue to rent. In the meantime the property value of their UK could have gone up.
Rent out your house in the UK then you would have more than enough to rent a house, 3 bedrooms, swimming pool etc. You will achieve more capital gains on your English property and don’t have to worry about exchange rates, only owing 49% of the property with your Thai lawyer owning the other 51% , it’s all to hard. You can buy a condo outright without any land ownership problems. We have looked into this extensively and came to this as the best option and if you get to Thailand and don’t like it you can pick up stumps and return to England or move on somewhere else.
