Have you made your new year's resolutions yet and any good ideas to share?

I for one will like to learn a bit more Thai in 2013.

Working less

I would like to learn thai, relax and not tink too mutt

Happy New Year ExpatOilWorker

One of my resolutions is to finally have that drink with you in BKK, we keep missing each other!!!

My other, far more serious resolution is to help create dozens of new businesses in the UK this year.......and part of that will be aided by my Thai lady using her skill and business acumen to create an internet support company in Chiang Mai to back my company up.

So success for me this year will be seeing new businesses grow and prosper in both the UK and Thailand as a result of my efforts. I CAN'T WAIT.

Drink less cheap wine. Drink more quality wine.

try and stop smoking.....again...

Not to make any New Year Resolutions .... always break them anyway

To learn Thai so that I can understand my terrific neighbour who invited me over to his place last night for a few drinks, and he chatted away to me like I was a local...but all I could do was nod and smile, not having a clue what he was on about.

Wish there was a magic pill.
