Considering Moving to Bangkok? Learn the Daily Life of Expat Living in Bangkok. Buying Property, Friends and Family, Cost of Living and Benefits of Life.

Located just off the coast of Pattaya, Koh Larn is the nearest island to Bangkok, or at least it is the most accessible island when it comes to tourists. As it is easy enough to visit Koh Larn on a day-trip even, where travel from Bangkok to Koh Larn Island in Pattaya takes in-and-around 3

No matter where you are in Bangkok, a 100 Baht taxi ride will pretty much always find you well off the tourist path, which really is a simple ratio thing given Bangkok is a city of over 8 million. And I will always much prefer to explore in the evening hours, after the peak time traffic,

Note, due to Covid and travel restrictions in Thailand and Southeast Asia many of these Thai visa run options are not available and due to the changing policies and restrictions we cannot update on a regular basis.
