The one thing that has blighted this, is the GF's point blank refusal to live in rented accomodation. In the past I picked up on LivinLOS's point of view about renting being the best way in Thailand as it's a lot less risky etc and agreed. However GF won't entertain the idea at all. Perhaps it has something to do with the "face" issue and she's worried about what people would say just living in a rented place whilst she has a farang ATM in tow !?!
I suppose in some ways, my plan (dream) is similar to that of CeeGee's but that I'm a bit further away from realising it, as the idea of a nice house with car in the carport and not too far from one of the larger Issan towns does sound like an appealing retreat. I just need to make sure that are plenty of places to go fishing nearby, satelite is available and I can connect to the internet make some equine investments  |
Hi Diz,
I now rent a 2 bedroom house in Kamala (7500 baht per month). My girlfriend is happy maak maak.
