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

Just got back from Chonburi city. Chonburi City is much quiet than Sin City. Not much entertainment but quite a pleasant place to stay or retire. Sin city is only 60 km away so no problem.
So an hour journey? why no photo?

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

This is official....Kaoli refers to the Goryeo or Koryŏ Dynasty.
Hangul: 고려; Hanja: 高麗.... PRCs/Taiwanese also refers to korean as 高麗.
Thanks for this info. Now I know why Korea is called Kaoli and not because of kim chi which is usually made from cabbages!
Now I am guessing what each nation is called is when both countries had first contact?

Official PRC media calls North Korea "Chao Sian" & South Korea "Han Guo". I know before the Korean War the whole country was known as Chao Sian. And didn't know so many nicks used on Thai TV commentary :*:

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

No lah, need a place where parking is not a problem. Anyway, take care also. Think a little whisky is good for flu. :smile:

Kop kun kaa Pii for the welcome. Yes I hope to make Thailand home one day. Was there on-off for 2 years based in Bangkok. Sadly my business didn't take off so now back in the Lion City plotting my next move.

Since on the topic of your health. Do u buy medical insurance in Thailand? Or your policies in Singapore can cover the expenses if say you are hospitalized (TOUCH WOOD!) & need some operation. I went to a hospital in Bangkok once and they charged me "foreigner" price! WTF! Not a pleasant surprise. Luckily I was sick only once throughout my 2 years there. Getting older & have to think of health matters if considering long term stay in Thailand. Don't think I would want to visit their government medical facilities nor do I qualify for Thaksin's Bht20 (or is it Bht40?) generosity.

TDDD, what type of visa are you holding during your 2 year stay in BKK? Some type of visa allow you to apply for medical entitlements.

Good for you, any house warming party?:biggrin:

LK style's very "continental" (classic european) style.

A stiff cognac's good for your cold (and not just old wives tale). Christ almighty, you onto this punishing flight 20 hours+ to uncle sam? Direct via west coast or via Narita? Sometimes change of weather may also do you good. Bon voyage.

Doing krungthep 1-3/5 for meeting with JV, and skiving off to N Sawan 4/5. Tempted to do your local bistro WILY (not other willy +555). Cheers mate
