Hi All,

Nice to meet you all here. I am from Indonesia. Had been to Bangkok 5 years ago, last January went to Phuket. I really enjoy the beach and food in Thailand. Hope I can can back to Thailand anytime soon this year.

Welcome Subokay and hope you get to return to Friendly Thailand soon. Use the site to plan your next stay.

welcome Subokay

(as an aside, I think Indonesia is lovely - perhaps not Jakarta though )

I I'm from Denmark and have been living in Chiang Mai for 2 years now, found loads of interesting info on Thai Visa and thought it was about time to pip in myself.

We decided to sign up after lurking for some time.

(though one of us had a previous account but lost the info...)

Two people here, one Thai and one non-Thai.

Welcome to the site, hope you find the info and help you are looking for.

Hello, after reading so many post as a guest (for example from the links in "The Nation", I thought it was time to join and be able to contribute. I am a 53 year old male living and working as an engineer in Germany. Travelling to Thailand since 1994 (a year after getting connected to a Isaan-Thai woman that I met here). Officially married for 11 years now. Had all ups and downs, saw people fail in Thailand, a few succeeding.

Been to Isaan so many times, saw other places too.

A good friend of mine will leave for Thailand in Feb on a retirement visa. I (we) are strongly thinking about doing the same.

Hi all

Thanks for providing such a helpful forum have been in some time now and its been a useful resource. Hope to contribute to it myself in due course...

G'Day to you Dangman, and welcome to the forum

Hi everybody

My name is Vincent and I’m 33 years old and from Brussels.

Just discovered this website recently and I must say it has some interesting threads that I will be reading with a lot of interests and I will probably be asking a few things too in the next months.

You could say I’m a Thailand-newbie as I’m preparing my first trip of 3 weeks around September and October. On my whish-list for a long time already but this year it moved to the to-do list. The goal is to travel (alone) for two weeks visiting both north and south of the country and then staying one week in BKK where my cousin has been living over the last 4 years. He will be showing me around there.

As this is my first big trip by myself I will be looking out for practical information on what to do and what not.

The ideas of Buddhism are also my view on life and the way I stand into this world and I can’t wait to fall for the charms of the country, the culture, the people in general and who knows the woman. ;-)

Sometimes feeling the hunger to move somewhere to some new place in this world. So who knows what this trip will do with my future

Hy Everyone, Great site , Essential site for anyone visiting l.o.s. or planning to move here as i am . I,ve read topics on this site for yrs , dunno y i did,nt join much earlier , Invaluble FREE advice and friendly foke .

Hi all,

Another new-comer to this site. Hope to learn a lot, and contribute wherever I can ... although from first glance, there seems to be several resident "experts" here who prowl the virtual corridors, dispensing excellent comments and advice.

See you in the fora (my old Latin master would be so proud! ) ....

Hi all! Joined a week or so ago and this is my first post, the site is an absolute mine of information and I'm so glad I found it, was in Thailand for 6 weeks over the New Year but unfortunately I'm back in Blighty now, and I'm cold and suffering, lol

Hello all! I'm glad to be a member of TV.
