Welcome to the board
Fellow scot here also in the oil business, not so far away from you in Equatorial Guinea, this rotation lark is definatly the key to enjoying life, i tried permanent over here and lasted about 2 years, then i realised that money was not everything and needed to enjoy myself more, now i am 4 and 4 rotating out of phuket.
Where about in scotland are you from and do you plan on visiting patong at all??
