Davis Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I appreciate your thoughts. As far as risk assesment goes, My honest thoughts are: regarding safety - reasonably safe, I've been out of country several times and with wisdom and common sense I'll be ok; regarding an exciting adventure - good reward here, it will be exciting, the novelty of Thailand and the different culture; regarding finding a life partner/wife - well it is not probable any time soon, honestly I feel the odds are not in favor of it, maybe after many visits and longer stays, the possibility of meeting new friends is good. But regardless I will have learned and been enlightened no matter how that issue plays out; regarding fun - I believe it will be a lot of fun. It's my nature to enjoy life and tend toward being reasonably happy. I really do not feel I'm in to much danger of being over informed or to expectant. I am really looking forward to it, I must say. BTW, punter ?? Thanks for all the input ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bust Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I'll show my ignorance again..and again...I do not get the reference to "meet some of the older wiser on a friday"...is there a spot where I can meet some friendly expats and give them a good laugh at how green I am in Thailand?? I could learn a lot and hell, I'll be laughing at myself most of the time anyway.Also what's up with Casablanca...? Thanks to everybody again! http://www.thai360.com/fbb/showtopic.php?tid/378631/ Make the effort to get there. I have made some great frienships by just going along and introducing myself some years ago. Beware of the cigar smoking type or anyone who sets themselves alight They're bound to lead you astray.

gobbledonk Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I survived my first visit - it was the subsequent visits which have really messed me up. Or maybe I was messed up before I went anywhere near Asia ... Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
