Re: Almost everything is cheap
If you're coming from the country where the exchange rate is higher. Then yes, almost everything you get cheaper here. You can get lot more done for the dollar earning. So that's one reason many people do backpacking and often come to this country for their nomad adventure. It may cost you more thou...

Re: Cheapest and safest mode of transport
Tuktuk seems to be the cheapest. I won't say it's the safest though. Lot of people do have their share of issues with tuktuk. And for this reason I'd say they are only cheap and often the quick. You can get cabs here. Make sure you know the rates of the cabs when you do go. Because often some of the...

Re: Main attractions of Thailand
Temples and the wild life seems to be the main attraction from what I have seen so far. Naga temple and Sun temple are definitely worth taking images of while you are there. Lot of small yet ignored temples which you can take images. There are plenty of beautiful scenery to capture. Depending on the...

Re: How about an elephant ride?
During the off season and also during off days like in between Tuesday to Thursday, you'd find cheap rate. Those days they don't get many tourists visits. So often these are the days. You may find that it's fun experience if you're into safari ride. A bit more costly due to the distance traveled. Bu...

Re: Discrimination Against the Disabled, Overweight, and Non-Caucasians
I don't think there is any discrimination against disabled people in Asia. I am sure there may be for non-Caucasians and overweight. The reason could be different. For example jobs that involve critical space movement may not allow the overweight people. As that could affect the work. But the discri...

Re: Is Knowing Local Language necessary?
How long you plan to stay in the country? That part decides the local language issue. If you are planning to relocate here forever for the rest of your life. Or say for 10 years. Then sure you may need to learn the local language. The reason being you would have lot of issues trying to go through lo...

Re: Special picnic spots in Thailand
I suggest going to some of the popular temples. You can also go to the Zoo. But make sure to avoid going to these places during weekend. The reason being it'd be full during this time. And you won't be able to find a time for properly enjoying those places. There are two zoo's in bangkok worth visit...

And you can see that it can definitely bring out a good cultural experience. I'd suggest you to Wat Tham Pha Plong if...

Re: Is tap water safe to drink in Thailand?
Based on my experience tap water is not safe to drink in Thailand. In fact you'd have diarrhea, if you are foreigner. Because the stomach may take months to get used to the local water. So I suggest making use of the bottled water for few months. And then slowly adjusting with the local water. Also ...

Apart from Education there is a need in IT and the management. That growing need is going to be consistent every year. So if you are planning for relocatio...
