Hi All

Hi there all members,
just thought I'd better introduce myself. Name of Wazza, living in own home in Kathu, been browsing the website for a couple of years but finally got around to joining.
Been in Thailand 14 years now, married (many years) with family. Still travel back to Aus for work several times a year, fly-in fly-out. Am not an aussie tho, one of the many kiwis who work in gods own (as the aussies mistakenly call it), all us kiwi's know where god's own really is.
Due back into Phuket next week for my xmas break, don't believe in making breaks too short and will pop along to the MTB to meet some of the other regulars.
Go the All Blacks.

Wazza,
Welcome to the board.
With 14 years in Thailand we should have yet another expat source of local opinions and information.

Thanks for the welcomes to the board, tho not too impressed about being called an old timer, has too many meanings.

" you're only as old as the woman you feel "

already threatened the missus when she turned 36 (that was some time ago) that I would trade her in on two 18 year olds.
Never mentioned earlier that I am in my 40's.

No offense meant Wazza - and like you I'm in my 40's also - was referring to your time and experience in Thailand.

When (my Mrs) K1 gets to 54 perhaps I'll suggest trade in for 3x 18 year olds!

Welcome to the board.
There are many threads running where you can share your experiences about life in Thailand and life with Thais. Guys like me can sure learn from that.
