Thanks for the kind welcome. It is a little scary, but I have been around Thailand and Vietnam alot and have really fallen in love with the northern regions of Thailand. Not completly sure abiout timing yet, but I am in recon mode so this is a great place to learn about what to expect with a more long term living situation.

I will definitly take advice from anyone who runs a quote from Hotel California on their posts...good suggestions!

Thanks

What would you suggest for a single guy in his 50's, good shape and ok financially who wanted to find a good wife for a long term relationship...how would you start that search?

I know this is an old series of posts, but I came across Pomchop's list last night and it is what made me join this forum and stirred my desire to move to Thailand! Awesome list...really well written. Thank you.

Hey Folks,

I am new to the forum and have been to Thailand several times and am planning a move to Chiang Rai. I have some savings and will be pulling down on Social Security in about 6 to 7 years or so. I prefer Chiang Rai over Chiang Mai because it's less crowded, more natural beauty and a little less hot and touristy based on my limited experience. I am looking into some rental proprty right now, probably a 2 bedroom and will be arriving solo maybe a little out of town and not too fancy. I am looking for any thoughts or suggestions for a new comer and hopefully get to know some of you all in advance. I am looking forward to the adventure.
