austallia_1980 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I have a California Gym Membership which cost me about 20K baht for 2 years (I think this is a pretty good deal).. but unforchanatly it does not come with a swimming pool. I am also trying to learn Thai language. I am not taking a class though. This is just on my own. Outside of this, I use the internet, go out to eat, and watch movies. I am in a long term relationship, so chasing girls is out of the picture. so what are your hobbies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkmadness Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 It's great to get online with Chess, that site's been a real savior, otherwise I end up just getting the odd game a year as most of my friends don't play. My Dad used to play postal chess before the internet, now that was a slow game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Yak Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Depending where you are in Thailand - diving should definitely be on your schedule. I dicovered it over there and unfortunatelly I can't dive as much as I want now because it's much less fun in cold europe - go for it ! KY Chess over the net - dunno, like to be able to punch the partner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use too play chess a lot , I will sign up on that site and have a look macb Mac and all, I play chess too. I am trying to get some from the Surin area to maybe set up a chess club (very informal) to play once in a while at the Farang Connection maybe, or somewhere we can go where we can have a few games once in a while. Anyone in Surin who plays and wants to have a few games in person (rather than over the net-although that is an option as well)? A friend of mine was just here up from Bangkok Friday and we played a few games in his hotel while the wives did some shopping. Always nice to play a few games. Relaxing, and helps keep in practice.

Khutan Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 does anyone know where i can find a digital photography class or club in bangkok? what about digital video? amateur photographers filmmakers out there? how is the rental equipment in bkk? As there is a great Photogtaphy and Arts sub-forum here, maybe we can start a club. I have two friends who are professional cameramen and come here for holidays. For me, I love Golf, but I have not played for over 4 years and seriously for more. I like Photography and Video, and I like playing with all the gear and try to do stuff. As Editing gear and software is so easy to get its a good place to be. I also like playing with electronics, so pay day come and I go to Fortune or Pantip to find something interesting. Maybe if we are really lucky, we can get KanWin to give us a chat about simple stuff like framing a picture, and rule of thirds etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastienenchine Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 A nice Englishman lives in Roi-Et. He's a photographer. His website is : http://www.dominicrouse.com You may not like his style, but he is a master in digital photography. In my free time, I like to play in my garden, watch my fish, cook, plan my next trip and go out with friends for a beer, and much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossfinn Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Good to see so many chess players, I used to play a little, amateurism at its worst maybe, but have completely stopped due to nobody playing it anymore. Not in LOS, but will give the site a bash to see what it is like. Good to see the game isn't dead and buried. Moss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
