I met Tim 2006 when I lived in Pattaya. He had a small language school where my wife learned Finnish.
At that time Tim stayed winters in Pattaya and was teaching English in Chonburi. Summertimes he came
back to Finland where he worked long days to earn enough money to reside in Thailand in future.
He was almost fluent in Thai already 2006 and some English language degree from (if I remember correctly) University of Leeds.
Already then he had motorbikes which he customized, and that propably explains why there were 3 motorbikes front of a house.
I lost contact with him about 10 years ago so I don't know what has happened after that, but as with many Finnish he took a drink or 10 time to time, and I think this might be one of the reasons why he passed away at age 54.
