Hi everyone. A mate and I am coming to Phuket on March 27 2008 for two weeks. Can't wait now I have booked and paid.

I have been reading this forum for about a week now and finally had my account activated this morning, so you are going to hear a lot from me with many questions.

Firstly what does BM stand for?

Regards

HV

Hi HV,

Have a look at the "Sticky" threads posted at the top of the newbie forum.
Lots of tips to make your forum experience a better one.

Here are the abbreviations used

http://www.phuket-info.com/forums/ne...eviations.html

Oh. Welcome to the Forum

Welcome, and enjoy everything Phuket has to offer, I'll be arriving for a couple weeks++ just as you guys are leaving. Leave some for me, huh?

And just in case you are lazy, BM=board member, but do read the stickies anyway, they are very useful.... and of course, USE THE SEARCH ENGINE!, which you are probably going to hear a few times.

Welcome to the board.

There are now 10 stickies in the newbie section. Take the time to read each of them and you'll be ahead of the game.

Cheers

Hi Simon,

Staying at Graceland Resort and Spa and already decided that my first stop is the MTB.

I have found this forum to be invaluable. I'd say by the time I get there I will have read almost every post.

Regards
Hunter Valley

Welcome to the Board Hunter Valley, hopefully you will be able to clear some of that coal dust from your lungs and also get rid of some dirty water in LOS.

Thanks aussie45. I intend to clear more than the lungs. It is amazing how many other friends have said to me - "I wish I could do that but my missus would spit chips." Having just got rid of the ex and my girlfriend, I plan to let my adventure cure me of full time relationships. Counting down.

Hey HV,

Welome to the forum. Hope to meet up with you i will be there 'bout the same time. Be aware about the time you are leaving, it is around Songkran. Shouldn't be a prob just make sure you have your return tranfer sewn up. Was a f@ckwit this year and had a hell of a job getting to the airport but mine was on the worst day. Pays to be careful.

Welcome to the forum HV,

Gotta a mate from HV that will be here next week and again during song kran. He's a big dairy farmer. Good bloke.

You'll enjoy your time in Phuket mate. The guys on the forum are a wealth of knowledge. Even tell me to pull my head in from time to time.

Nigel, shouldn't you be packing for your "polotician & porn" move to Canberra?

Politicians are surely worse than pornography, and a surer route to Hell.

Thanks mxridr,
I think I might just do that .... While it will end, I am sure that as soon as I have the $$$$ saved I will become a regular visitor. Everyone I know who has been, has said I will have a great time, and they visited with their partners. I have no such baggage, lucky me!

Cheers.

Welcome to the board.
Prepare to become "addicted" to the LOS.
MTB is a great place to hang out whether it be for a an hour or two or for the whole night.
Enjoy....you lucky b@&tard!
