No smoking, drinking, hugging or kissing in public

Read an article where they are increasing park patrols in Bangkok to curtail teenage hugging and kissing in public.  There were also some outcries a few months ago when some kissing and hugging was witnessed on Bangkok public transportation.    On the other hand, nothing is wrong if same sex individuals place their hands on your thigh.  I have had that happen a number of times in public and generally considered it as drunken behavior.  If it happens to you, stay calm, politely move away and let them know you're not comfortable with that.  Don't turn it into a confrontation. Two teenage guys or girls walking down the street holding hands may be perceived by westerners as being gay, but in the majority of cases it's simply a sign of friendship.  At the beach, bare breasted women, or too revealing g-strings may get a warning or worse. You'd think a country with an active sex industry, would be a bit more liberal minded in this regard. Not so.  You just don't do those things in public, or at least not where others can see.

Average price of rentals

I have seen house rentals from 3,000 on up, apartment rentals from 1,200 on up. Depends a lot on location of course.    Renting an apartment, the building owner tends to tack a percentage on your electricity bill. Depending how much, your electric bill may actually double.    If you make any improvements, installing curtain rods, window screens and such, your landlord expects that they remain on the property when you vacate.

House For Sale – Muang Sakon Nakhon

Rustic farmhouse + 1 rai of fenced in land for sale in Amphur Muang, Sakon Nakhon. Only about 14 kilometers away from downtown Sakon Nakhon. House was built in 2006 and lived in continuously until 2013. Price: 1.9 million baht. Hardwood upstairs with newly finished floors (3 bedrooms + living area + bath + covered patio) and concrete downstairs (large Thai style living area + bath + covered patio). Property includes concrete pond, small basketball court, well (water), mango trees, and coconut trees. Two neighbor homes on one side of the property are my very polite & quiet Thai in-laws and relatives. The rest of the property overlooks fields and the Phu Phan mountains, making for serene living. Only 100 meters from small village and about 1.5 kilometers from a 7-11. Reason for selling is that I've moved to another part of Thailand to educate my children, and won’t be returning to live in Sakon Nakhon permanently for another 10 years. It won’t be good for the property to sit empty for that long. We own 20 rai adjacent to the property and will build another smaller home on that in the future. The house and property could use some various minor fixes and improvements, but nothing that is urgently required or major.  Contact David by email at: dablyler@gmail.com for more information and to arrange a viewing.
