I have been in Nakhon Nowhere for months and able to keep busy and rarely bored. Maybe make an effort to learn Thai that might help greatly. I would be bored anywhere sitting hanging with foreigners.
Tourists ok? Personally I don,t do the dual pricing thing. I would rather die before I would allow a insurance company take my money or even a hospital if they are going to over charge me. Better the money goes to my familyt.
Not sure how it is for long term students. I do know that Thai Immigration checks often on the foreign students attending classes. Long term better just to get a Tourist visa.
This seems the latest fade these last few years people as young as their twenties with this fantasy they got off likely some hippy-dippy Khao San Road moocher muppet YouTube give me your money channel. Lived here going on twenty four years and of all the expats I have encountered even in their elder years most in my opinion moved here with some serious flawed ideas. Many gained knowledge from a bar stool , a beer and some alcoholic idiot expat. Just look at some of the Thai women they ended up with. Long story short YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THAILAND!
