Moving to Thailand - Need help

Underground
1

I'm moving to thailand to get away from Western Culture.

I'm also going mainly to train aswell and live in the culture.

I speak 3 languages and I am learning Thai with my wife.

I need to know if anyone has connections or lives there now and would be willing to converse by email.

Leave me yours or I can provide it here.

I'd truly appreciate any help or information people would be willing to provide.

I'll be going to visit for two weeks in Febuary and would like a place to train, I'm not expecting any room/boarding because I can afford a hotel, but I wouldn't mind knowing someone prior to moving my family there.

I've been doing net searches and reading, and my father has been there multiple times. My parents used to live in India, so I'm not a person to get major culture shock!

Please drop me a line or speak to someone you know who is in Thailand...

Thanks for reading my long thread

that bangkokmouth site kicks ass!

I was a little disapointed it wasn't porn, though.

You may also want to check www.ajarn.com 's message board. It's very popular amongst expats, english teachers and the like.

Also have a look at stickmanbangkok.com , his weekly column on life in Bangkok is read by thousands. There's also markoinbangkok.com which contains some interesting info.

Good luck

For the guys who have lived and trained at a camp in Thailand for awhile, how's the food... anyone ever gotten sick or is it usually pretty good.

Just asking as I was planning on going up for a few weeks and a friend who was there before got a really bad virus and was sick for months afterwards... Someone else told me to drink bottled water, ask the guys at the camp where to eat on the weekends, and to sack up and stop worrying:-)

Thanks for any advice.

The food is fine AS LONG AS YOU AVOID ALL AMERICAN CHAIN RESTAURANTS!!! Eating at McD's, KFC, et al will make you sick as hell. I ate at streetcarts all the time with no problem.

And you need to drink bottled water, but it's everywhere, so no worries.
