    Hi from Bronwen

    Hi I just joined the forum. I've lived in Thailand nearly 16 years and have a Thai husband, Surin. I work in Bangkok during the week and in the weekend we go to our country retreat Faasai Resort and Spa and our organic farm in Chanthaburi. It's just around the corner from the sea, has big gardens and good coffee.

    Welcome Bronwen. Sounds a nice setup (well, apart from working in Bk, but I guess somethings got to pay for it).

    Welcome to the forum.

    That's a long drive each way every weekend. Or do you fly?

    Hi Bronwen, Welcome to the forum! Just had a sneaky look at your resort website, very impressed. Look forward to your posting on here, maybe a picture thread on your organic farm? Lot's of budding photographers on here.

    Talk some of the photos but the rooms were mainly taken by someone else. The garden's grown up a lot since then though - I need to update.

    I like durian actually but mainly they will be for my husband's kids and guests. we also have rambutan, longkong, mangosteen, banana, papaya, mango, pineapples, bamboo, herbs, veges, rice, cows and chickens
