perijon58 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi, after many years of absence from Thaivisa, I finally re-registered. Just got back from Ban Phai, Khon Kaen province, seeing a mate who been in the land of smiles since the 80's. Things are changing, maybe it's easier as an Ozzy from Darwin to live in Bali (only 2 and half hour flight) on a social visa, since I have a very good Balinese friend who is a school teacher there. Anyway, may you all have a successful and enjoyable New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilted Grin Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hello everyone! Okay, an introduction...I'm not good at this...well, let's just cut to the chase and say I've been considering moving to Thailand to live and work for quite a while now. Oh, and I'm head over heels over a Thai girl I've met recently...that probably has a lot to do with the urgency to hop on a plane right away! Anyway, enough about me..over to you!

jamhar Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Wahoo! on here for 3 days, and i havent been kicked out! Its a new PB for me! (personal best) Recent transplant from the states. I'll have to learn about "visa runs" very soon Digging the Thai food, Thai people (dam_n, everyone seem so friendly), and thai women i'm 54, act 24, probably smell 74 and look thai (they tell me) as long as i dont open my mouth to speak. and lastly, dam_n thai is a hard language to pick up. I keep replying to people in spanish! "lo siento"...... i mean "kah tort" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiroboi Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I joined the forum a while back but I finally made the permanent move with my Thai wife of 8 years and moved in with her parents in Pathum Thani. So you could say I'm new to Thailand. Nice to meet you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheWeeknd Posted February 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hi everyone! I've read the forums a little in the past, but registered pretty much just to say a big THANK YOU to the people who provide so much valuable info on here (even if most probably won't read this...). I personally really appreciate folk taking the time to post their experiences & knowledge. My situation is that I've got a partner in Thailand who I've been together with for about 2 years. I've been 4 times for short trips on tourist visas, with the last being almost a year ago. My girlfriend came to Australia on two tourist visas in 2012 and was here for 6 months total. We had a ball and we're deeply in love She's a cook, runs a little restaurant in Krabi and is the sweetest girl I've ever met. Now I've recently got a redundancy from my corporate job in Aus, and I'm about to head off for rest, travel and adventures in Asia. I'm planning to base myself in Thailand and do shortish trips to other countries to explore (combine visa runs with holidays in cambodia, laos, vietnam, japan, burma, phils etc). My visa plans are a bit up in the air... I'm going to start off on a two-month tourist visa but hoping to continue with an ED visa after that. I'm genuinely wanting to take a shot at learning the Thai language, and would be doing classes even if it didn't have anything to do with a visa. So hoping that learning Thai and visas will just be a happy coincidence. The only problem I see is that there aren't many language schools in Krabi so I won't have much to choose from. I'm a bit nervous about visas but hoping I can sort out the ED visa within the first few weeks when I get there. If anyone sees any big holes in my visa plans it would be appreciated if you give a heads-up as I'm flying out in one month Sorry for the long rant and look forward to posting more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Welcome to the forum theweekend. My suggestion is you should start the questions in the visa forum, as this particular thread may not get visits from those in the know on visa stuff. More chance in the visa sub forum Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chop Top Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hey, I dont really know where to ask this question, so I thought I'd come here. Right, this may sound stupid, but would a British Barclays Visa Debit Card work normally in ATMs in Thailand. I'm guessing there would be a charge to use, but would it be simply the same PIN and same operation as in Britain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cycloneJ Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Hello June will mark the beginning of my 5th year living here fulltime apart from regular travels in Malaysia, and trips to Cambodia and Laos. Though it's been a quiet life lately, I am currently recovering from minor surgery and general body damage after a traffic accident - too much time on my hands right now. On the bright side, have a good family and home environment. cheers CJ Note: My avatar - i like the dried/spiced squid sold at the beach. But for now, am limited to soft foods. My life in a blender!!
