I\’ve never actually gone to Phucket. I\’m just not one for the beaches. I like the busy-ness of the city.

I lived in Phuket for a year, fighting and training full time… it's fantastic. Sure the cost of living is nice, but the laid back lifestyle and people are what I liked the most. For those wondering on cost of living, my wife and I had a 3 bedroom house with a pool, 10 minutes away from 4 different beaches, and was only $400/mth. Our most expensive item was our car rental… lol it was some ridiculous pimped out car but still only $250/mth. Our priciest month was $2k, not restricting ourselves in anyway whatsoever.

I can't handle Bangkok though for too long…. Chalong in Phuket is where I love.

I've lived in Saigon for the last 10 years and couldn't imagine living anywhere besides Southeast Asia. Mr. Paranoid poster is way out of whack. I feel much safer here than in most cities in the USA. Some foreigners get into various kinds of trouble but if you dig deeper into the story it's always because they were doing something stupid.

It's especially awesome for pursuing your internet career because you can work part time and still live very comfortably.

Bangkok is a really nice place to live, I moved here 10 years ago shortly after starting my internet business.

I feel really privileged having moving here in my early twenties and I'm not going anywhere.

I do like the people here and the food is awesome. No cold winters either.

I've never had any problems like posted above here, and I guess like elsewhere, if you just don't do stupid stuff you will be OK.

The beach is only a couple of hours drive away and basically the only bad thing here is all the nice distractions keeping me from launching more sites and campaigns, which is actually a real problem for me.

cheers

I used to live in Lampang. It was really peaceful, but pretty boring for a youngin' like me. I love BKK though!

Yeah I got to agree with you Justin, I fly to Bangkok a few times per year for business purposes and always enjoy my stay in Thailand. Just like any other places on earth, you just need to use your brain and not wander around in creepy places. I find it a safe place and people are nice and friendly. No one asks you to get involved with Mafia or whores who are out to get your money. I have seen quite a number of foreigners living in Thailand and if it is a nightmare to be there, why is everyone still live there?

The food is fantastic and cheap, I just can't wait to be there again in January 2011…
