GregCV Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Been reading this forum a lot over the last few months. Today we live near San Francisco (California) and am planning my early retirement with my beautiful & wonderful Thai wife that I met here in the SF Bay Area. Our target is Chiang Mai and am eager to learn as much as possible about life in LOS and CM. Will be buying a home in CM and looking for work to keep me busy. Have a long personal history in business, and am very familiar with the internet, import/export and selling products to major U.S. resellers --- key retailers and wholesale distributors. Anyone in the CM area that can use my experience, send them my way please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livermore Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Hello All, I've been lurking here as a guest for about a year. Thought I would officially join since I have read so much good info here. I probably won't be that big of a contributer as I am only a visitor to the Kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natalie8 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi Jockstar. Great thread. I've been a visitor since around September of 2004. I became an official member on October 25, 2004. I became a member to ask a question in the Girls Forum. My question was regarding what to wear to a Thai wedding and how much to bring as a gift. I got some great advice, and now I visit almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobe Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 This is my first post, but have been monitoring for over a year. Planning on retiring in a few weeks and moving to BKK with my Thai wife.

I was hoping for more help on this board, but, oh well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You mean the question about re-spraying an old banger? Maybe no-one has done that before - most people buy new cars or pick-ups, I think. I had a few dents and gouges repaired on my truck when I reversed into a short concrete post - but that was in Phuket. It was very cheap and excellent work - can't see where the damage was now.

johnrh Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I've been following this forum since moving to Thailand end of last June. Before that was for some years in Indonesia, eventually managed to tunnel my way out! Never again! Forum basically very active and lively, enjoy reading it. Only thing gets me a bit is a small number of members always ticking off about petty problems with life in Thailand. Always problems everywhere, but here is better than most places. Only a few posts so far, but hope to improve. Good idea to start a thread for newbies, the attitude of some 'exalted members' puts newbies off contributing. Thanks for the welcome, glad to be here!

Diggerbasher Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Decided to get off my arse and join this forum simply because it's so active and it seems you're pretty much sure of an instant response on any topic that you care to raise.
