drlovelife8 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I have recently been offered a pretty tasty job in Korat.

0 GAV Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 It's a great place, a hell of a lot cheaper to live than BKK You can go to the fresh food market every day or the night market most nights. Issan people are great very friendly and helpful. If you are a down to earth person you will get alone well in Korat. There is plenty to see locally and it is well situtated to go see most of the rest of Thailand on short trips. The bonus is it is no where near as congested as BKK. Give it a go, I think you will end up loving it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 yamahacrasher Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I've seen Ms Jaidee's pics, never knew it was so nice there. Thought it was just dusty dry fields, but i was wrooong. How many ppl live in Korat? I'd love the open roads and the fresh air...things you don't get in central bkk. Besides, the prettiest girls I've ever met in Thailand are from there. But that doesn't matter now since I'm not single... :-( Aight dude, good luck with your moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I guess Phuket fits the bill as well - save for the job opportunities - albeit on a smaller and more expensive scale? BTW, how is that tendy new nightclub in the shopping centre going? All sounds good from what I hear so you must be pulling good numbers? (And I don't mean an Absolute numbers :wink: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should probably not be in the forum, but I'm back in Bangkok. I worked my ass off there and ended up getting canned... long story including a Thai female boss. The club isn't doing so well, which is a shame because it's an amazing looking place. It just needed marketing better. Now I'm renovating and relaunching a restaurant in Bangkok - I'll do a TF event once I'm finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
drlovelife8
I have recently been offered a pretty tasty job in Korat.
I have only resided in BKK during my 5 years here and have huge reservations about living there due to my experiences with people from Isan in BKK.
I know that makes me a judgemental prick, but hey, this is TF, where such actions are fundamental to forum use.
Back to the topic.
Anyone lived there for an extended period of time?
What comparisons can you draw about Korat and BKK from your experience of living there?
Anything about the place would be helpful.
