Living in a 100% Thai community

I found a nice house in Ko Kaeo in Phuket. It's not a gated community. Just a few raws of quite simple houses. No common swimming pool, no guard house, no amenities. Most houses are a bit aged, some are in a very poor condition and are being renovated, some houses were converted into commercial: there is a kindergarten in a nearby villa, a trading company, a van rental business, etc. The house I liked was recently renovated and extended, and the asking rent is double or triple compared to neighbouring houses. One thing that bothers me is that I have not seen a single foreigner while driving around the area. I feel like only locals live there. What are some disadvantages of living in a neighborhood which is dominated by locals? I don't want to be "persona non-grata" so to say. I don't want to disrupt others' peace just with my presence. And on the other hand, I don't want my own peace disturbed by any local customs I might not be aware of. Maybe karaoke parties, or vendors with loudspeakers driving around the area at 7am, or what else I can be missing? Maybe I'm otherthinking it. So far I found Thais generally very quiet, especially compared to Turks and Arabs (I have experience living among both). Any advice welcome. Another red flag is that I could not find the house listed anywhere online. It was offered to me by an agent, and it's an agent-2-agent listing, meaning my agent works with another agent who works directly with landlord.

Fake perfume?

Hi folks. We bought some “original” perfume at a stall called "Trinity Fragrance" inside Platinum Mall, one in December and the other recently. They were 70% off, and the sales lady assured us they were authentic. However, after using them a few times, we noticed they didn’t last long. Do you guys know if these stores are selling legit perfumes? We feel like we wasted money (we bought 5 perfumes in total). 😭

How do central Thai people react to the people from other provinces in Bangkok?

Personally, I'm ethnic Lao but I'm from the Issan regions, specifically Kalasin and that goes the same for the rest of my maternal side but on my paternal side they are from Khon Kaen. I haven't been to the big central cities much because I didn't go to thailand much after the pandemic. Fellows what were your experiences?

What are some meaningful gifts or poetry you can give give to a Thai boyfriend? He's not been in Thailand for years, want to give him something meaningful

My boyfriend is a Thai living in Norway. He's been depressed as far as I can tell. I'm not sure if that is why he is depressed, but regardless I would like to give something Thai related. I want to ask if there is any meaningful object of romance or a good gestured object one give each other in Thailand as a sign of respect or love or symbolism? Either something I can buy, or a line of poetry I can text. Basically anything.

(I'm a guy too)

Thank you.

Health care questions, Americans

So my mom is going to retire here soon. And been discussing health care. What is the best route or company? What are average costs etc?

I understand prior conditions play a large part in it as well.

I've been reading Cigna is decent but that's it. Trying to contact thai health care companies is like pulling teeth. But the quotes and people I've talked to. The numbers are insanity with how much they vary.

My buddy who is in his 70s with tons of health problems pays 100k a year. Another guy told me 300k. Etc etc.

Help me tho Thailand Internet Geniuses 🤗 xOXo

Would You Use a Ticket Resale Platform in Thailand? 🎫

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve noticed a lot of activity here with people buying and selling tickets for events (e.g. lately Rolling Loud), which got me thinking: What if there was a dedicated platform for secure and fair ticket resale in Thailand? 🇹🇭

Imagine a website or app where you could:

  • Safely buy or sell tickets with verified authenticity to avoid scams.
  • Pay or get paid through secure local payment methods like PromptPay.
  • Enjoy fair pricing, with resale prices capped to prevent scalping.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

  1. Have you ever struggled with buying or selling tickets for events in Thailand?
  2. What’s the biggest challenge you face when dealing with resale (e.g., trust, pricing, convenience)?
  3. Would a platform like this solve your problems, or is there something better you’d prefer?

If you’ve had good or bad experiences with current ticket resale methods (e.g., Facebook, Line, etc.), I’d really appreciate your input. Your feedback would help me understand if this is a real need here.

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts! 🙏

Any XXY/ Klinefelters parents in Thailand?

I am 22 weeks pregnant and my baby has been diagnosed with XXY - confirmed via amniocentesis. Most XXY groups in reddit have parents based in the US or other parts of the world and I feel a bit alone here. Trying my luck to see if there are any parents/ support groups here? It would be great to connect and learn about stories and how you have dealt with this. Thanks!

Tuberculosis test

The Bangkok hospital needs only a wet cough test to test if a person has TB. But what to do if the patient can’t do wet cough? Surely there must be another way of testing it like in normal countries?? Got scammed out of 9k for literally nothing
