"welcome and what's your connection to Thailand?"
My connection to Thailand is long ranging.
I was here in Thailand, first time, in 1971.
I have visited Thailand, off and on, for many years.
In total, I have lived in Thailand for over eleven years.
I have lived in Asia for over 45 years.
Also, my favorite food is Jasmine Rice.
Basically, the principal reason I am now living in Thailand is to eat Jasmine Rice more cheaply.
Of course, I do know that in India they are trying to "copy" jasmine rice...
But, it's really not the same stuff.
I live on jasmine rice, plus some other doodads like omelets and tuna, and chicken breasts.
My passa Thai is OK, but not too great, either.
I have very little affinity for Thai roosters.
But, I like the cats around here, unless they are in heat.
I could write much more...but....then....
I would probably need to wait until next year to see this comment published...
And so, I won't write more...
Thank you!
