So, anyway, a quick update. I got the workpermit yesterday, just one work day after I anticipated it.
No problems at all... my office evidently sent someone to stand in line in the morning when it opened. I went in a 1pm, signed some forms, and walked out with it at 1.20pm.
Easy!
You have no idea how envious of you we are......almost to a point of........jealousy !! I need to find a green face like STD........but with a smile

Thanks guys. Sorry, if I sound like an excited teenager at the moment, but such is life.
Still at President Solitaire, yes.. always a good place. I spent the last week being shown crap condo after crap condo and was getting dishearted by it. And then, inspiration struck me.
I've been watching a new condo block being built literally opposite the President Solitaire for the last 12 months or so on my various trips. I walked down the soi on Friday and thought..that's where I want to live, but I assumed it was still being built.
Not so. It's finished. The building work is for another set of smaller condos in stage two of the development.
So I walked in, spoke to the manager and he showed me a place. They are stunning - best places I've seen so far. 200 square meters, two bed, ensuite, brand new..tv, dvd, the works. The best thing is that only 15 are taken, so the building is quiet. I move into the place in second week of November.
Don't ask me the price. Not cheap by Bkk standards, but excellent value by western standards. My accomodation allowance will cover about 60% of it. No problem. I don't mind paying for a good place. I figure it will feel more like home during the transition stage and that I'll probably save in the long run because a nice place will mean I wont feel inclined to head out every night.
Yeah..right!

Wow, is that the one with some units with outside pools in the higher levels? With see-through glass as the 'wall' on the b uilding side? Great architecture, but not sure if I want to ever swim in that and risk an 'accident'. "Man swept from 17th floor" is not the kind of headline I want to make

P.S.- I just got my one year visa! Thank god, I was really starting to worry that I might not get it. Turned out to be a piece of cake. Now its just a matter of working hard enough to get this business off the ground...

No.. I think you mean that place which is actually on Soi 15. I had a look there. Didnt like it, although the pool as you say is stunning.
My place is actually right at that junction at the bottom of soi 11... If you walk down soi 11 with Bed SupperClub on your right, you come to the junction where you would turn left to go to QBar and right to go to President Solitaire.
My place is that big building they just finished straight ahead of you. They're currently building smaller one bed places in front of the main building.

What do they look like on the inside, and what's their prices?
