barncat Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hi, i am new to Thailand, new to Chang Mai, and new to posting anything on a forum but got advice to look on this site and made a social gaff by asking a question via personal message. I am sure my daughter would have updated me on forum etiquette but, reason why i am here, I am currently living a life where the choice to spend time to learn new things I have gradually allowed to be edited out. Cliche, older female here for solitude, working still full time, grabbed every bit of comp and vacation time and ran, but just had last child go to college, and two have significant special needs, so needed to recoup alone to grow into life, stage next. . .from Portland OR usa (pre last elections, would have been more reticent to add that) Only here for a month, trying to get my feet under me (original question was where to find boots since i left mine at home on advice of experienced traveler but one who is younger) either i need good Teva's ( to date myself, as a raft guide in tennessee, i had a pair of the first sandals they made, still do but a bit chewed up by a dog) or some light boots. My runner's feet are not handling cheap sandals well. Probably to long but at least here, readers can opt out i suppose. Other questions, i really came to do a meditation retreat, same friend said no planning necessary, not sure but I'll try the bus up to Doi Suthep-Pui to visit Wat That Doi Suthep. I am also seeking a recommendation for a good bicycle rental, and if the retreat doesn't work out, i am a mountain biker as well and would love to try it here, seems best to go guided, recommendations?

kevvy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 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! welcome just remember one thing .....think with your good head first ,,, come and enjoy but be careful....

kevvy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 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. This is not a rant. You expressed your feelings here and your honesty is profoundly appreciated .Good luck on your venture. And I wish you the happiest of times . wish you all the luck in your new venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhonChaidee Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hellow fellow board members, As young as I am, I have been travelling to and from Thailand for 4 years in a row now. The first time I set foot in the country I immediately fell in love with the sights around me, the friendly people, the amateuristic hassles and the lovely Thai food and women (I put women last to be a bit more subtle) . Recently I have returned from a full year stay in Thailand, during which I did an exchange study at the ABAC university and an internship in EastWestSeed (market leader in hybrid vegetable seeds). For the moment, I am finishing my studies in the Netherlands, but I can't wait to travel to the LOS again. This is my first post here, so I would like to greet all of you and am looking forward to share some useful experiences and fun stories with each other. Best regards!
