In Topic: Sukhumvit To Rajamanagla Stadium

2012-05-25 19:49:31

I've been to Rajamangala twice, both times for football matches and both times by motorcycle taxi. I was advised to do this by my Indian tailor who arranged one for me. His advice was spot on. The traffic was very heavy and the road heading to the stadium is not that big.I went from the Asia Hotel at Ratchathewi and it took about 25-30 minutes.

This forum cracks me up sometimes. The OP asked a simple question concerning buying a stand alone home or one in a gated community. Now we know how many Filipinos live in the USA and want to know how many times someone else has been married !

It's a shame because out there is a wealth of experience that I and the OP could learn from but I rarely ask questions on this forum  because a lot of the time they end up like this unfortunately.

Having said that I would still be interested in any actual responses to the original question.

I can't offer advice on housing as such as I have never lived in Thailand, however we have been considering it and have done some research. Like you we also have kids and I'm sure their future is extremely important to you. I don't want to turn this into one of those should you/shouldn't you raise kids in Thailand threads , but would say that before you decide where you want to live to think about what type of education you want to give them, how much you can afford and what schools are available in the area you finally decide.

Obviously with Chiang Mai and Bangkok you will have the complete range available, but prices/quality  vary considerably and I'm sure you wouldn't want a long commute everyday. Just a thought !

In Topic: Disney Land Equivalent In South East Asia

Yes your daughters are definitely too old for that. Sorry we haven't been to any of the theme parks in Thailand. We have been bathing with Elephants a couple of times and that was really good, but that was at a small elephant camp just outside Kanchanaburi. I would thoroughly recommend something like that though.

There is a Disney Land in Hong Kong. It's a lot smaller than the one in Florida, but excellent for younger children. We took our girls there a couple of years ago when they were 5 and 7 and they loved it. It didn't have the big rides like the US counterparts but for kids their age and a bit older it is excellent. I think they have added a few more attractions since we went in 2009. I can't remember the admision costs but they were very reasonable, it will all be on their web site. We stayed in one the resort hotels, it wasn't cheap but from what I recall not much difference than paying for a family room in Kow loon or Hong Kong Island hotels.
