From Russia with love - new member

Hello!
New to this forum - want to introduce myself and besides "hi! nice to meet you!" want to say "thank you!" for very interesting and informative content you created here.

First I want to travel to Phuket for few months in September/October-February to appraise if it is possible to me to settle there ("here" for many of you) - right now I live in Moscow (few years ago moved to here from hot southern city Sochi just to find out I don't like 6 months long snowy winters).

My hobbies are fresh-water aquarium (20 years), snowboard (then possible) and snorkeling (there available) and massive multiplayer online games (Ultima Online, Asheron's Call, Everquest, World of Warcraft, and now it is Lord of the Rings Online - 10 years total). I work as business analyst (SAP ERP / CRM) and practice internet marketing/programming as hobby (and rarely as freelance job).

I am single (well, divorced - those games took too much of my time and attention ) and as you can guess English isn't my native language but still it's good enough to be able to read these forums and all those interesting messages you've created ("where to buy Wii?", "how to appraise is it a real girl or LB?", "is it safe to crawl to home at night being drunk?", etc.)

Hope to meet you (or at least some of these forums' visitors) in Phuket any soon.
=)

Welcome to the board 3cdom, you need have no worries about you English. For an extended visit you may want to travel around Thailand/S.E. Asia a bit more - you may have to on 'visa runs'

again, welcome

Yup - Sochi is 2014 Winter Olympics city though it's warm there (+10-15 celsius in January average) - but mountains make it possible to find places with like -30 and mountain tops above 3k meters.

Moscow is pretty fun but still it's cold (mid-summer, afternoon, 21 Celsius right now) and it's most expensive city on the planet if you want to have fun: average drinks in bars about 300-500THB, entry fee in average club is around 400-600 (better clubs usually don't charge for entranc - instead you have to reserve tables - from like 30k THB per 4 persons), beer from 150 to 400, girls from 6000 (not too cute) to 15000 and higher, flat rentals from 30k (far from center - like 20km) to 100k (not far from center - like 5-7km), and so on. Dinner in mid-level restaurant (there isn't cheap restaurants in Moscow at all) + evening in average club = 5000-7000 (w/o girls of course).

Sochi has similar prices and sometimes even higher (especially after it was chosen as winter olympic city) - so it's way cheaper to spend vacations in Cyprus or UAE.

Thanks for warm greetings!

Actually wanted to go (migrate) to Cyprus first - but found it too sleepy and too ... calm (?) - even in middle of high season. Hope Phuket will be more bright/wild/fun.
