Hi Krisanee
My name is Desmond.
Glad to meet you. I am a South African male and wish to one day retire in Thailand. will be visiting Phuket again either in Setember 2014 or May 2015

Hi Krisane

I would like to be pal with you. Detail me more about you

Hi everyone. I have been living and working in China for the last six years. Have visited Thailand many times in the last few years and just retired to Chiangmai about six months ago and lovin' it. Keeping busy checking out the sites, blogging (thaicanuck.com), and building away in my virtual cities.

Hello Everyone,
How are you all doing? I am new to Expat.com and sure will get to make friends in Thailand. I am moving my base from India to Thailand (Phuket) next month. Have taken a hotel business in Patong and hope to do well. Thailand has always fascinated me and my family and happy to move here.

If anybody could help me finding a long term leased house (3bedroom) in Kathu area as i intend to put in my kids in school nearby.

Regards,
Rahul

Good luck with the business Rahul

I just posted an introduction of myself, but dunno where it went:) So I'll try again here:

I am a Norwegian girl who just arrived in Bangkok, after working two years in London. At the moment I am enjoying BKK and searching for a job

I dont know many people here yet, but hopefully that will change sooner rather than later.

Otherwise I spend my time discovering my new hometown, as well as enjoying the rooftop swimming pool and visiting other countries in the region.

I am suprisingly scared of flying, and also scared of hights. But I love travelling:)

I speak Norwegian, English and French, and hope to learn some Thai

Thanks for your wishes Buddy, Do let me know when you plan to visit Phuket.

Welcome to Thailand Elisabeth. I am sure you must be loving this country and its people. Do let me know if you plan to be in Phuket post March.

I will keep in touch. Maybe I can make a booking at your hotel!!

Thanks, Rahul

I will let you know, I love to travel, and have not been to Phuket yet, so there is a possibility that I will come:))

I will be moving to Phuket in less than a week. Step one on my journey to discover. I don't really know anyone my age... or anyone actually. So, im looking to hopefully make a few friends.

hi Desmond, Nice to meet you too!

Hi! ElisabethG
Welcome to Thailand! Glad to meet you. Now you live in BKK and searching for job in BKK, right? I hope you make a new friends soon (especcially thai friends).
But if it not be good, i offer you a choice. May be i can help you if you leave BKK to stay near me. I live in Mahasarakham Province (near Khon Kaen Prov.; NE Thailand). I can help you find a job here (Pls tell me all your abilities). I can find a cheap accommodation. If you want to learn Thai- E-saan lifestyle. You can stay as long as you want and can move back BKK anytime. I can find friend for you. Mahasarakham is a small city that just more grow up when it have a Mahasarakham University for moe than 10 years ago. We can find a foreigner everyday in supermart (they come with Thai wilfe).
I'm Thai woman, 40 years, married with 2 childs.Now i try to make a business with foreigner retirees, but not about you. I think you not so old. I will take care same my sister. The job for you may be a school english teacher, the salary up to your qualified, and you will have a part-time from me too.

Glad to meet you. Why you move from India next month if you now not have accommodation already? I live far from Phuket, but I have a friend live in Phuket. If you really want my help, may be i can but i am not go to Phuket for long time ago.
Where is Kathu? Do you mean Kata-Karon beach?
Now you already have a hotel business? why you dont stay in the hotel?

Hi Jamielee

A Benoni girl with no Afrikaans in her profile? (hahahaha)
I am sure you are going to love Phuket. It is an absolutely fantabulous place. Hopefully you will be lucky enough to find love as well!! Enjoy the adventure and lots of good luck. I envy you!!

I have send you an e-mail

Wadee krub! :-)

Here's my brief introduction. Moved to Thailand 3 years ago. Been in Digital Marketing Consulting / Agencies back home in Europe. Needed a break. Planned to come to Thailand for a semester as volunteer teacher in Isaan. Fell in love with teaching. Stayed 2 more semester in Isaan. Then moved to Bangkok to work as prof at Uni while doing digital marketing and e-learning related stuff again.

I think I've seen quite a lot of Thailand already but never tired of finding new cool spots (right now focusing a lot on other Southeast Asian countries as well though). Love doing sports and, obviously, traveling. Can't wait for my next 'holidays' to come :-)

Nice meeting all of you guys here!

Good evening everyone,

I am Mostafa 30 years old from Egypt and I am living here in Bangkok almost one year ago, I am working in investment industry, specifically FOREX or Foreign Exchange, actually I have been in different Asian countries before such as Philippines, China, Malaysia, India but the most country which I felt comfortable to was Thailand, its the country of the smile as they name it and people here are very friendly, polite, helpful and always ready to serve you without they wait anything in return, they always keep smiling, they greet you where ever you go or any place you enter, the main problem here is the language, very difficult to find someone can understand you to communicate with, even when you try to give Thai language a chance you find it very complicated, its not even Latin letters but its all are considered some symbols beside each other, anyway do not give up, you will be still able to find whom can speak English but it requires time, effort and you must be kind of lucky, another thing is the food since I came from eastern community so we are not eating pork and to be honest with you I can not even take its smell, anyway Bangkok is a nice place and I wish I can go to Phuket and Krabi because I have heard its a very nice places, I am happy to be here with you and wish we can exchange our experience, thank you

Hello Miss. Norwegian I wished to know your name to be able to call you with it but you may forgot to mentioned to it during you were introducing yourself welcome to Bangkok, I am Egyptian and I live here almost one year ago in Bangkok as well, I do not know many people as well but this because unfortunately its kind of difficult to find someone can speak English here, anyway nice to meet you here and if you need any help or would like to inquire about anything just let me know and I will be happy to help you, I am experienced here so I wish to be useful to you

Regards
