OxfordWill Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Hi all, I did a search but didn't find any similar thread..sorry if I missed one. I was wondering what you all do, or did, and perhaps how that brought you to LOS (or didn't). How do/did you make your money? How does it compare to how you thought you would make your money when you were 'younger'? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordWill Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 (edited) Forgot to do my own.. I run a webhosting company and am doing a philosophy/japanese degree. Currently, I want to be doing neither. Don't be shy now! Edited January 6, 2005 by OxfordWill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxfordWill Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 (edited) What is the Petro Chem industry? Petroleum chemicals? Are there more than the basic petrol ones?

ProfessorFart Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I conduct private research when in Thailand. Its a bloody awful way to make a living but I've got to many corners of Thailand and SEA through my work. Now I'm working on my own enterprise which I hope will see me in LOS full time some time in the next year. If that fails I will have a stab at teaching.

Backpack_thailand Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Just to stick my 20 Baht's worth in! I'm a web developer and javascript writer, aiming mainly at tourism and travel (see my signature!) Into online bookings for hotels and a lot of marketing for selected dive schools on the east coast (Koh Tao, Chumphon). In partnership with my missus, been here for 6 years, about 75% fluent in da lingo and get to spend 24 hours a day with my new baby son! Got a healthy client base, will take a bit of a pounding due to the Tsunamis, particularly in Krabi, but then it's down to me and my colleagues to work a little harder now bringing in the Europeans. Not a time to lick the wounds, it's time to stand up for this place we call home and do our best to help bring it back to life! Not a bad life eh...?
