Gidday people

new to the board. Been to Thai 20 or more times, about to move Chantaburi way, already took the big plunge earlier this year.

Probably have some questions as I settle in, I'm going OK so far on what I know already.

I chose bluetongue becasue the more well known plump Australian lizard goanna was taken.

cheers

Hi everyone

Hello to all forum members,

I'm really glad to have found this informative forum. I'm an Australian, retired, living most of the year up in north west Thailand. I hope to be able to contribute in the future, at the moment I'm just finding my way around.

Cheers

Hello Wendy, Annie won't respond to you because she has been banned from thai visa.

The reason she was banned is because Annie was in fact a man, who also had a dozen other nic names here at thai visa. We sometimes referr to people like Annie as trolls.

If you are looking to meet some other ladies, you should go off the main forum menu into the ladies forum and introduce yourself there. There are some lovely ladies in the forum, however make sure you steer clear of sbk's group, shes the dominate type and likes to whip people into shape....you will probably notice I will suffer the same fate as Annie soon, when sbk gets hold of me .

Goodluck

[neverdie]

Wendy, I PMed you a link direct to the ladies forum.

In case you missed it, you can click this one.

Hi all

I'm yorkieboy. Live and work in Phitsanulok but hoping to move to Isaan in the not too distant future. Probably quicker than I've navigated around this site (computer idiot)

planning on setting something up on the girlfriends land, as soon as I find something that pays the same, or more, than a teachers salary I'm on my way.

Also studying sciences with the Open University in the UK. starting to concentrate on the various forms of renewable energy. Have a few interesting ideas I want to try out so if you see an half crazed Yorkshireman being propelled through the sky you'll know there's been a slight miscalculation somewhere along the line.

Regards

Yorkie

Well, this is actually my third post on here, having been encouraged by my thai girlfriend to sign up after a month or so of general browsing.

I'm hoping to be around for quite a while to come yet, so may well end up calling upon the wisdom of the forum members for all matters thai related. See you around.

[MiG16]

I've already received way too much help from people on the forum after finding it while googling for answers, but just now stumbled on the intro thread.

I'm Steven. I currently live in Las Vegas, NV, US, but should be in Chiang Mai in less than a month. A friend will be joining me within a month or so of me arriving.

I'm a bit of a nomad both in location and career terms. I'm 30 and I've lived in 5 US States (with multiple moves between two of them) and have had several mini-careers. I'm a lawyer and have a CS degree, but have managed to only use those directly for around 4 years total lol. I have yet to leave the continental US so I figured it was about time when the timing worked out.

Apparently moving to a foreign country isn't quite as simple as packing up and moving has been for me previously. So far the biggest challenges have been finding an acceptable solution for my dog (she is going to stay with a friend it turns out) and selling my truck (which I just bought this year ) for a decent price, but there's obviously more than that.

I would love to hear from others in Chiang Mai.

Welcome all. Join in. Enjoy.

Hooke

you should venture in to the chiang mai forum

just a word of opinion - I would be a bit more skeptical about putting my pic up on a public site not saying anything bad will happen...maybe Im just paranoid about technology

[comethailandlewlew]
