Any Expats In Korat From '70-'71?

[GPage]

I will be relocating to Thailand next year at this time and taking early (and final) retirement. I served with the 1998 Comm Sq at Korat RTAFB in 1970-71 and went back for a two week vacation in '94.

Are there any expats living in Korat that were there during my SEA days? I have been to the VFW when I was on vacation, but just to stop in and see what's what. Now, I am looking for more information on possible retirement locations and would welcome any input. I have almost decided on Phuket/Chalong area for a number of reasons, but still would consider Issan if I could find an area that wasn't populated soley by boozed-out vets. I'd like a decent lifestyle that doesn't consist of holding court with former G.I.'s and telling war stories. Is there any chance of an interesting and normal life in Issan...Korat escpecially?

Thanks.
