Member in the TV forum more than 4 months, but now have the time to write about me.

I am Greek going every 2-3 months in Thailand.

I love this amazing country and its smiling people. (I have been in 46 countries, but Thailand captured my heart...)

Many thanks to the owners and contributors of the best Thai forum for falangs...

Only been here an hour and I am really disappointed that I can't post a photo. You have an icon that says attach photo. then when I paste in the photo location I am warned not to post URL's etc. Still trying to post, but not for much longer. Crazy

Hey everyone!

My name is Johnny, and it is a pleasure to meet all of you here on the Thai Visa Forum.

I'm not sure what all of your reasons are to live in Thailand, but one quote summed it all up for me.

"Do we have a moral obligation to be happy?"

I think yes...if nothing else in the world, the only obligation I have to anyone, or anything that should come before anything else, is for me to be happy. And being in Thailand makes me happy. I love not having stress, having everything be easy and affordable, everything is beautiful and serene. Ahhhhh - That's the sound I hear myself make everytime I think about being in Thailand.

Anyways, I visited the Kingdom for my first time ever 3 weeks ago, and loved it so much that I decided to move there forever. I came back to America, sold my car, my material belongings, gave away my clothes, broke up with my hot blonde girlfriend, said good bye to my friends, and bought a one way ticket to thailand. Oh yeah I got a 2 entry tourist entry visa too, good for 6 months.

I'll be staying in Koh Tao. See you guys around. =)

Love,

Johnny

[newsummerday]

Sawasdee khrab!

After 25 years at North, even at Far North, I'm dreaming to move to LoS soon!

I hope me and my wife will be happy there...

[proncias]

I strongly suggest you pack your bags and run

Hello ALL:

I am an Engineer, so I love everything technical. My interests are: Golf, Photography, Astronomy, Science (or course), Political Discussions, Philosophy, This Planet (I do love this place) and all things green.

I am confused though; Thailand is a strange place for me. I have come and gone several times over the last two years and have finally married Thai…Congratulations, thank you!...thank you!

What I see with my heart, is not what I see with my eyes. Those of you who really understand Thailand (as I do), know what I am talking about. I would really love to talk to people who know this place as there is much I need to know about if I am going to live here forever…any ideas?

[yogi]

hi all

i have just joined,hope to have manny interesting discusions.........

[Muchi]

Hello, All

I'm interesting many topics on here...many emotional....I do love to read any comments...Have a great day.

[blighty1971]

hi all been living in thailand now for a few years , and now decided to join .i live in chiang mai and have nothing but great experiences there with the people and the immigration .

i will say one thing it pays to know the right people in cm

[crazyeddie]

Welcome and congratulations! I am an engineer also, of the "Full ahead/Half astern" type. May I suggest that you look at your sentence "Those of you who really understand Thailand (as I do)...", and consider the possibility that there might be a whole lot more for you to learn about Thailand? Like that wise guy Twain once said "East is East...etc.", so any farang can spend a lifetime here and still not know it all. Cheers, mate

Aloha all,

New to the forums, but we have been visiting LOS often.

We live in Hawaii, but we will be buying a condo in BKK shortly,

so that we can actually live there part of each year.

Hubby retired very early; I will be retiring early, soon.

I am enjoying the forums; so much to be said!

Cindy
