Its different when you live in Thailand...........
Thought this was an interesting perspective from another site about potential/wannabe expats wanting to live in LOS...................
When you come to Thailand for a holiday, you can be wild and crazy because you are leaving and don't have to worry about the consequences of your actions so much. But, if you live in Thailand, you normally can not be as free. You can't afford to make enemies. You have a reputation to protect. If you live in an apartment, the security guards will know about girls you take back, and they might rat you out if you do something wrong. In fact, anyone near your apartment could cause that kind of problem. In general, you have to behave yourself to a much greater degree. You become a part of the community and the neighbourhood, even if you live on Sukhumvit Soi 4. I know several people who have become less wild when they actually settled here. They attribute this partially to these effects. You have to be much more careful about getting into conflicts or fights if you live here in Thailand. Most people have set patterns, and as a result, it is easy to track down most farangs. The police could ask a few people a few questions and could find you easily. You wouldn't be able to hide very easily
