    Also, one day, you may find that you like the culture and everything enough to consider having a family there, in which case you're set...
    Not forbidden from quitting, I think there will always be the option of coming back to the UK office as long as there is work.

    Having been there this year already I can see myself there for a year with no issues, top 2 years after that I think I would have had enough.

      There's only so many times you can head to Soi Cowboy or Patpong and hang out at expat bars on Sukhumvit.

        Haha I know what you mean. I was in Sukhumvit Soi 11 and was having enough of it by the time I left. Patpong? 8 weeks and haven't been there! I bet it is anothere level to Soi Cowboy, which I visited few times.

                This is nothing but a stealth boast thread from OP. How many contractors get paid to bang ladyboys ?

                    Definitely go for it.

                    It is a young man's game though - once you put family roots down its much more of a wrench.

                      After a while it feels like an extended business trip, not like real life. Two years is a long time to whore yourself.

                      My advice is to find a nice girlfriend and stay away from the long term expats (in Asia, they all seem to end up with a warped view of normality).
