SteveBC Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hello all, i'm Steve, an Englishman who has lived in the Pattaya area for the last 18 years. Up until last year i was spending much of my time touring Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Malaysia on my motorbike, but now due to various reasons i'm leading a more settled lifestyle. Early next year, 2022, we will be re-locating to Khon San ( near Chum Phae ), that's once the smallish house is built. So if anybody is in the area and would like to meet up for the occasional beer or five then feel free to contact. I / we visit the area now maybe 4 or 5 times a year, but as of next year it will our permanent location. Regards Steve + A. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n210mp2 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) I " signed into" and completed the "registration" with a jaded hope that this forum will be a little different than the Thailand and Pattaya forums that I am currently a semi active member of. As a "senior" who "married " into this culture with a wonderful Thai family, maybe it is natural to become a little cynical and to become a "Grumpy old man" with a built in a sense of "seen it all before". However I must admire and respect those who, at a time when we are experiencing one of the worlds lowest ebbs in every sense , have the enthusiasm, faith and tenacity to start something new! I wish you the very best of luck and hope that I can participate in this new venture with a renewed sense of hope, not only for the Country I chose to make my own but for the world in general . Congratulations in this new and exciting forum. Edit With egg on my face Just noticed that this forum has been going for some considerable time and I for whatever reason I was never aware of it. I thought of deleting my post and just replacing it with a simple "hello"! However, The positivity that the email I read early this morning informing me about the ha ha ha "New forum" stimulated my "jaded mind" into writing something positive. On balance , I decided to let my original thoughts and feeling stand! Edited July 5, 2021 by n210mp2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the aims of this forum is that members can post without fear of being abused or ridiculed. Politics are kept in a separate section (politics club) that members can opt into; although all the forum rules apply to the politics club, as a moderating team we are able to perhaps interpret the rules a little less strictly.

Well said mate! I live among Thais in Pattaya but have been around a bit. They are all going through extreme hardship at the moment but the daily laughter never stops, especially with the children. They get their schoolwork books every Monday and without exception sit at tables outside their homes every morning doing the work assigned to them. I do what I can to help and my monthly target is that every penny of my meagre pension is spent helping out wherever I can. I love Thailand and thank the day I was offered a contract here in 96. The only negativity I come across here is when I venture into farangland. There are are a right bunch of miserable gits out there ..!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
