Does anyone have any fun activities this holdiday that I could join in? I'm keen to build up new social circle here and make this is more comfortable for the next 12 months or so. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other ocassions to make new friends would be great too. If you are open to embracing a newbie in Bangkok, let me know. Happy Songkran to all!

New in Bangkok Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 I did go to Khao San... nobody warned me that the place is full of teenagers! Anyway, managed to keep myself decently dry and free from powder. But when I got back to Sukhumvit, I was totally drenched! But great fun! Can't say that I made any friends but it was a fun way to spend Songrkan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New in Bangkok Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 I'm from Singapore. 35 yo. I do sports like tennis, rollerblading and cycling. Shopping and travelling are things I enjoy too. And of course I enjoy hanging out with cool people. Oh ya, I'm also trying to get back into softball and diving. This is not my first expatriation.
