    Knock knock knockin' on the Teak Door.

    Hey all, i've been lurking for a while and thought it was about time to come on in.

    I've been in and out of Thailand for several years now, currently living in Bangkok. I'm working offshore in Egypt at the moment and reading the boards makes me want to come home.

    And of course, the forum is better than actually going out to do some work!

    Tao (or dtao if you're picky) meaning turtle. My girlfriend reckons it would be easier to get a turtle's head out of it's shell than it is for me to make a decision on anything.

    I thought that was mildly amusing, although saying that, she does have a point.

    Hi and welcome Tao!

    You'll no doubt be popular with some of the forum regulars who take a special interest in turtle heads.
