I agree Petesie - it does tick all the major boxes for me. I saw a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo, 8th floor w/ ocean views for about $150k USD. Really not too bad although there were also new construction homes in a managed community (30 yr lease on land) for about $185k USD. Don't want to jump in without living there awhile though. You know the saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted". Need to be careful, get a feel for the place and meet the locals before making such a major decision.
As far as the mongering goes, it would serve me to have limited opportunities as I will be living w/ Wifey and don't want anything to mess that up. I really love this Lady and don't want to screw up. She is sooooo fuckking cool!
For example, when I was in Phuket and she was back here in the USA, she sent me an email suggesting I go for a "naughty, soapy" and said, "what happens in Phuket, stays in Phuket - as long as I don't come back with anything" LOL
God, I love Asians!
