What preparations should I make for living in Bangkok, Thailand for a year?

Jorge ****

they call you to your number on file to make sure you are home. If you do not answer, they do not come. Sometimes the seller does not do COD, then I look for another one. I try not to give my credit card number, but then, it is my own paranoia... 🤣

I've personally seen people bleeding from busted foreheads (off low door frames) and clipped toes (off moving rolling gates). No need to walk around egg shells but do proceed slowly and with an abundance of caution. Some people have not recovered well, some, not at all.

@Paulo ********

the two are worlds apart and "dance to the beat of a different drummer". I also find just about eveything in LOS moves at a snail's pace. It is only now that we can smoke pot, a roadside weed, without fear of a long holiday at the "BKK Hilton" 🤣

Also be aware you may experience "culture shock". It creeps up on you as an episode of unexplained anger. It may come after 6 weeks or 6 months but we al get over it.
