Greetings from NYC!
I'm new to the board but not to LOS or LOS-based forums. First time I visited Thailand was in 1979 and my virgin trip to Phuket was in 1980. Suffice it say that the Patong area was very different in those days!
I spent 25 years living and working as an ex-pat in various countries in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Since many of those place were neither friendly nor fun, I visited LOS regularly during those years for R&R and vacations. I returned to the U.S. in 1997 for family (elderly mother who needed help) as well as professional reasons (job offer it would have been stupid to refuse).
I continue to visit LOS four or five times a year for both leisure and business. I'll be back again in July and will probably visit Phuket for at least a few days. I signed up on PHUKET.INFO at the suggestion of several members and look forward to contributing.
