A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

[Froggy]

Re: A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand.

yes, i think the first month is the most difficult. on a personal note , my own views only. if u intend to shift ur life over to thailand or any other country, do not jump into doing any business first!! always give urself time to look around, cos the demand in sg may not be in demand over at ur destined country.

e.g. starting a game shop selling ps3 xbox.. but, realised that place u reside in, nobody even owns a sega 16 bit!

it is better to let urself rot until u are freaking boring, then go find something to do. cos, if u (perhaps) open a shop, if halfway, u cannot survive, then u will think of coming back sg.

Hey I like your approach, practical and sensible. So you are staying here on typing term basis now or still commuting? Hey if pass by Bangkok let me know ok? And please post more and let us know how are things in Kanchanaburi.

how should i put it? i am now in sg, but slowly, but SURELY, shifting my life over. as i told u guys, i and my wife opened a shop at river kwai area, bought a new vios (red plate) and now i am looking at properties over there. my wife even bought the builders O&M gallery book to look at different types of houses they build. i like a big house with 4 bedroom and 4 bathroom, double storey, but it cost freaking >5 mil baht!!!

reasons i stay in sg is because of the FX rate. and i'm earning above average. trying to earn enough for me to start a family there and get all the necessary things i want before going over LT. oh btw, i planning to slack 6mths over there before starting any real work.

regarding the vios, i'm going this cny to help drive to temple first for monk blessing, then drive back home

reasons i stay in sg is because of the FX rate. and i'm earning above average. trying to earn enough for me to start a family there and get all the necessary things i want before going over LT. oh btw, i planning to slack 6mths over there before starting any real work.

All the best to you bro. You have a plan and that's very important. Yes I'll be back for CNY. We'll keep in contact.

Most SAF NSmen would have been to the place at least once in their stint (ex crescendo).
SAF goes to many other places in Thailand too....lopburi, udon, korat, sattahip.....though Kan is the only place they maintain a base.

Is thailand a good place to train? I understand that many ns men dread going to brunei cos it's all jungle and there's very little R and R.
