TotallyOz Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 As some friends predicted, it wasn't too long before I returned to the Land of Smiles. I just couldn't stay away. There are many reasons for this but I had the intent of staying in Rio or Sao Paulo for a bit but finding a decent place down there for long term is hard to do especially if you don't have someone on the ground. Finding a place in Thailand is so simple and easy as there are so many serviced apartments in Thailand that finding a place is as simple as looking on the Internet. Bangkok has so many wonderful long stay places and the rates are fantastic. I fully intent to go to Brazil at the end of the year for a long stay but I spent a few months looking for places down there and everything I found fell through. FWIW: I thought of going and staying in Sao Paulo for a month to find a place. Do you know the rate of the two hotels I stay at: the Renaissance and the Intercontinental? They were both over 700US a night. HOLY SHIT I could not believe it. Anyway, Thailand was calling my name and I listened! I'll be here for a bit if anyone is taking a trip to LOS this summer.

Members Lucky Posted May 5, 2011 Members Share Posted May 5, 2011 When Thailand called, was it in English or Thai? For me, it is always in Thai, so I can't be sure if they are calling me to come or to stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hitoallusa Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I love getting foot massages whenever I travel in that area. They are so good at it and people there really have strong hands. Have fun Totally Oz. I am so excited for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lucky Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 I'd like to be back. Thailand makes one forget all about the heat. It's just the humidity you can't ignore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
