Thread: My Introduction

Hey folks. New to the board, and thought I'd join up and introduce myself. I haven't moved to Thailand yet, but just returned from a visit in April, and I'm heading back in June to spend more time there.

My April visit was to 3 countries: Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia (Bali). I like them all, but Thailand just feels right. April was my 2nd time there. When I return in June, I'm spending 3.5 weeks. Starting out in BKK and will play the rest by ear.

I'll be reading more of the board. Already enjoyed a couple of threads.

I'm a software dev from Seattle. Not retired yet, but I can travel a fair amount, and I may choose to work from Thailand for a few years -- doing my own thing (web start up idea).

I'm 100% sick of the weather in Seattle 8 months a year, and had been planning to move to San Diego, but after a few trips to SE Asia, I have to say SEA it is even nicer, with a lower cost of living. Where else can you get a decent condo in a nice building with a nice lap pool for $1k/mo?

I hope to see you around the boards in some threads, and if things work out for me, I'll be living there soon. (I still have to get my house in Seattle setup as a rental while I'm away).

Cheers
