I have decided to find for another place to stay. The room I have rented at Khaosan is cheap for its price but not the room I needed. It was next to a bar restaurant which plays very loud music until 3am. Add to that, there are no sockets for me to charge my gadgets inside the room. I have to go down and charge it in the locker room of the front desk. For my mobile phone its okay, but for my laptop I cant risk it.

There were no more places within the area that would fit my budget, so i called Flip and asked for his help. Coincidentally, flip and his friend Muhi are looking for cheap apartments too that day. So, i met them that afternoon near Chatuchak Park.

I went along with them searching for a divider for Flips apartment. Chatuchack market is a huge place. They sell lots of things from shirts, accessories, collectibles to house furnishings. We have seen only a part of the place for 2hours. I was told that we won't be able to see the entire place for a day.

During the search, Muhi and Flip told me about the apartments they have seen near Victory Monument. It is a strategic location since its very near teh BTS or Sky Train. But I told them that I would prefer a place near them. They reside near Thammasat University, outside of Bangkok. Although the place is a far from Bangkok, it would be easier for me if I can can get in touch with them quickly. Mostly for translations and directions to places I need to present Beach Hut.

That night,w e just hanged out sharing stories and a few laughs. Both are a great company to be with. Very helpful.

Tomorrow, I will travel to Thammasat University for a 4,000baht monthly rent. And Muhi is willing to travel with me and show the place.
