Bangkok doesn't suit me

I have been living in Thailand for five years and I have lived in Sukhothai, Lopburi and Bangkok. I have been in Bangkok for nearly four years and now it’s getting harder to find a condo. The agents don’t seem to care when you ask about rooms. They seem to want foreigners to pay over the odds for small box-rooms which I currently live in, and that’s why I am looking to move. It’s becoming too much hard work and as you can see from the news, articles and word of mouth, Bangkok is becoming too expensive. If you come on holiday you might think it’s cheap but living here, paying taxes by working it’s becoming expensive. Bangkok is changing and unfortunately it has never felt like home since I lived in this city.
