Hello All, New Here!! What a Find!

Hi all, i've just joined the board and had a little look around and it seems i have stumbled accross a very friendly board with some very useful information/contacts all at my fingertips, which i find very encouraging to say the least.

I am arriving on the 29th November, will be staying in the Banthai resort for my first time in Patong, however i have stayed in BKK and Pattaya previously, even if it was just for a short time. But hey as far as i see it, if im not in Thailand for months at a time if not longer, then it'll never be long enough. Had a great experience on my last visit to Thailand, been craving to get back since the day i left.

I will be looking to find ways of funding a longer stay while im there, but in reality im pretty negative of finding a good solution. Any suggestions would be of great help. The one way i think might work best for me is to e-bay, as i don't have a great deal of capital investment and i have done some of that from my home in Scotland and found it can be fruitful if you run a tight ship. In saying that i'd be willing to try other suggestions for funding my future stay.

Here's hoping i can find some useful/reliable stock to sell while im on the island, in order to plan my return in the low season. Im not looking to live the life of a superstar while im there, just enough to keep me in rent have a few beers by day and a few by night, the odd BG and live in the sun in my favourite country on the planet.

Hopefully i'll bump into some BM's in person on this trip, which im sure will be of more help than any board can offer. Look forward to meeting up with some of you's at the start of December.

Welcome to the forum Bundy

Make sure your first stop is MTB in Soi Eric. You'll meet a great bunch of BMs there. Enjoy your stay

Welocme to the board. Pop into MTB and you should meet plenty of BMs. Be sure to say hello to Nicke while you're there.

Be glad to meet you, although it depends if you are Ted Bundy or Al Bundy?

Ebaying can bring a bit in but the problem is staying on long enough to make any money. The only things that sell well from here are the fake stuff but you'll get suspended regularly.
