looking for advice and ideas on living thailand

12 years ago

I'm 21, yr old Australian guy and earlier this yr i returned from about 12 months in SE Asia. Which I really enjoyed 7/8 months were spent in Thailand. Now that I'm back I just want to go again. I also have a Thai gf which I met while in bkk were I spent a lot of time. I plan to regain employment within the oil an gas industry in Australia. Which if everything goes to plan should be 14 days on and 14 off. On my two weeks off i plan to live in Thailand. I'm looking for ideas and advice on anything an everything you may think useful. My salary will be around $4500 month take $1000 or so for airfare's also I would like to bank abit so I would like to bugdet for around 60k baht for the 2 weeks but hopefully well under. I would like ideas on wether to rent a condo or just stay in hotels if i was to rent I would' nt go over 10k baht a month. Also if anyone does the same thing I would like to hear your story and how you do it. Is it way to tiring with all the traveling airports etc.
