Greetings,

Good that you are planting trees and hope to see more in Bangkok streets just like Singapore.

Your work base and home is traffic jam area and I feel sorry for you.  But then again, its not too far from each other.

Good that you are traveling around Thailand as you will sure learn a lot and experience the different environment, food and lifestyle.

If you need any assistance in Thailand, feel free to shout.  I will do my best for you since been living here for 15 years.  I can picture yourself in your apartment and its like back home, hahaha

Thank GOD that I am living in a house so I have the space.

Keep in touch.

Cheers

In Bangkok, I lived in a Condo, walk out of the living room, viola .... a 25m swimming pool. Open main door, turn right, walk 30 steps and viola .... gym.

Space wise ... due to my job, I travel and bring corporates and school kids to Khao Yai, Chiang Mai & Hua Hin.

Living in Bangkok is great ... just have to start making friends and BBQ's

Good that you are happy in where you are living with the pool and gym.

You have a great job going to all those places and happy for you.

Everyone's taste is different as I had live in service apartments, town house, shop house, apartment and bungalow house.

In the end, I love the bungalow house especially being in a quiet housing estate.  I can leave my windows open when I sleep or go out as its safe.  At times, I totally forgot to close my back door.

Happy for you as you are enjoying your stay here in Bangkok and got friends.

I am Singaporean, 26 years old, graduated with and honors degree in Economics in 2010 and have been working in the civil sector for the past 1 year. I am actually interested in looking for a job in Bangkok. Do you guys happen to know any openings or at least let me know where i can start looking?

Thanks.

Hi,
I am also very much interested in planting trees.We are from Singapore. Can you give your mail to contact.

Hi Rani,
Do you have a garden?

Hi jcshine,
Like to hear your view abt accommodation in bkk.

My husband works in sathorn, my 1yr old baby and I are planning to join my husband in bkk and looking for accommodation.

I like the space of landed but not sure about the security and which area in bkk is more convenient and safe. Leaving windows open and going out in Singapore context is dangerous!

Hope to hear from u.

Hello all fellow Singaporeans,
I have been living in BKK for almost 2 years now, but yet to meet any fellow Singaporeans. It would be nice to meet up one of these days for a chat and catch up on anything back home! Though life is relatively nice here, I still miss Singapore quite a bit. So do feel free to get in touch with me should anybody be interested...it's always nice to meet up with a Singaporean especially when we're living overseas.

Hi Lilysnow,

As your husband is working in Sathorn which is well known for heavy traffic jam in the morning and evening unless he takes the BTS train.

If you prefer landed property then go for those houses which is an estate.  The Thais call "Moo Baan."  They have security at the gates and no outsiders or touts are allowed into the housing estate.

No hawkers, lottery ticket sellers, rag and bone guys etc are allowed into the housing estate.  Thus its safe, quiet and private.

There are many nice housing estate across the Chao Phaya River when you take the Taksin Bridge which is the same road as Sathorn.  At the last stop of the BTS Train, go further up and there are many nice housing estates there.

At times you need to drive around to see as some Thai owners will put up rental or sale sign board instead of working with real estate agent.

Some owners many sell their house but will rent out to foreigners.

Happy house hunting

Hello fellow singaporeans, anyone know of place that sell singapore food and taste like singapore?

So far there's Parklane, at Ekkamai. It's a place where many restaurants and shops are found. Look for a restaurant called "Wanchai cafe". Owned by a Singaporean, but Macau trained chef. They serve very tasty Singaporean dishes including the "Golden Pillow" - Singaporean chicken curry in a bread bowl and hokkien mee. Yummy!
Any other input from fellow Singaporeans on this food topic in Bangkok would be great!

There is a Boon Thong Kee along Sukhumvit 55 before Thonglor Soi 12. Selling chicken rice and ala carte dishes!

One of my frequent dining place.
