You're right, there is a high turnover and it may be the reason why after some time, for long term expats, you're just not interested to meet the short term ones. But well, I went to British Club, American Club, Embassies parties, whatever place you ... Read More

But I think Bangkok has more than its fair share of 'unusual' characters in its expatriate ranks, so be on your guard.Most expatriates in Thailand are no different than expatriates in the rest of the word. They just do not care about the locals. Read More

Bangkok is just too big with too many expatriates who do need each other. You won't make friends here more easily than you will in New York, Paris or other capital city. Probably more difficult actually. Read More

Jeans are actually not that easy to find in department stores. Thai people do not wear jeans, so it is only for foreigners, hence the high price. Same for MBK, although much cheaper, being copies. But still catering to foreigners only. Read More

I actually agree. Indeed, there are many farangs in Thailand who are very enthusiastic about Thai culture and Thai people but they're usually the bachelor type. Or in a relationship with Thai people. Very seldom farang families. :D Read More
