Remembering Amazing Thailand

Klongtan Condo was the first place where I lived. It was full of OFWs–teachers in the international schools and telemarketers. It was like a Filipino community. I was surprised really when I got there because my college best friend also lived there. It was such a nice surprise.

The condo is situated on Soi 40 Sukhumvit 71 and the first Thai words that I learned was “Nam mai mee” which means “No water” I was going to buy a jug of water but the cleaner couldn’t speak any English at all. Anyway, using our common senses we understood each other.

I didn’t stay long in this condominium because I got a job three weeks later in a nearby city and another three months had passed I moved to northeastern Thailand. Being one of the oldest condominiums in Bangkok, Klongtan Condo shows many signs of deterioation and the management seemed to be after the money only. They don’t want to spend a dime to improve the building and fix the empty rooms to invite more tenants.
