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.

Just how unboring do you want us to get?

Do you want us to dance and sing?

Draw nice pics of the moderators?

Just let us usuals know and we'd be happy to please

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.

That's how many longtime residents started.

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.

[Jockstar]

Welcome Nat. Glad that you enjoy this forum. Keep them coming newbies.

Hello, everybody. (I think I am still a newbie.)

A few people asked Anna that question when she started Doc.Purley for aesthetic reasons only of course.

Personally, I think it is a picture of her twin sister.

Recently joined and have asked a question that has been ignored in both forums it was posted. I was hoping for more help on this board, but, oh well.

[Bobe]

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. Have found more information on visas than I ever expected. Still a little confused, but working my way through it.

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.

Have been to Thailand 6-7 times, each time for about 1 month or so. Looking forward to the move. Have spend more than 8 years in Asia over the years.

Maybe due to the disaster not so many people were Repainting Old cars or were intrested in them

You can always ask again

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!

Thanks john. Just an idea i came up with. Nice to hear about new people and i hope they can contribute some worthwhile and fun topics. Enjoy!

[Diggerbasher]

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.
