But in Bangkok, it comes with its own special set of downsides. By BK staff | Aug 26, 2015 1. Places smaller than your dorm room. 2. Agents who just don't understand anything. "This is what you call light??" 3. Agents who want to be your friend when it's all over. 4. Agents who you've spent so much time sitting in a car with that a weird sexual tension builds. 5. Not having enough to live in Ekkamai... Forget it. 6. Or Phra Khanong... Nope. Keep moving. 7. Or even On Nut. "Don't make me move to Punnawithi! Please!" 8. Insisting the place you move has a pool and a gym... rentalo.com 9. Then never using the pool or the gym when you move in. 10. Buddying up to someone who you kinda don't like but who you know is moving out of their bitchin' 100 sq meter, B22,000 pad soon. 11. Fake wood floors that aren't fooling anyone. "Is that wood? Or is that a photograph of wood printed on plastic?" 12. Acting like you can totally afford it when a building you thought cost 20K actually costs 60K, and going ahead with the viewing anyway. 13. Furnishings that look like this page in the Index Living catalogue. 14. Finding what looks like the most perfect place ever! 15. And then losing it cos you didn't get back in 24 hours. 16. Reaching such a point of hopelessness that for the first time you truly empathize with those TLIC commercials. We share your pain.
