Most who have been here for a while already remember what an overwhelming experience Bangkok was in the early days, and how helpful it was to make a network of friends that you could turn to for advice. Of course, not all advice is great, especially when you\u2019re talking with random people about how your new foreign home works. We think it\u2019s fair to say that most advice you get is subjective and can probably be taken with a grain of salt, but some advice\u2026some advice is gold, and should be locked away for further investigation. Greg and Ed take a look back at their early days in the Kingdom and each come up with 2 bits of advice that they got that they did not lock away for further investigation, and now - in their wise old age - regret. From dating to geography, sometimes it pays to listen to old-timers to make the most of your new situation. Don\u2019t forget that&amp;nbsp;Patrons get the ad-free version of the show&amp;nbsp;as well as swag and other perks. And we\u2019ll keep our&amp;nbsp;Facebook,&amp;nbsp;Twitter, and&amp;nbsp;LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.
