Hello All,

My name is Benayahu and this is my first posting. I have been posting to other forum boards such as thaivisa and usenet but there have been troubles and difficulties there as many of the thaivisa members have a lot of arguing and on usenet there is a lot of crazy folk it seem.

Ok ,enough introductions, now a little about me. I have spent time previous living and work in Thailand and I simply love the place. I particular love Chiang Mai as this was my home some years ago before I have to go back to Australia to study. I am a former Israeli and I did complete my military service and like all my brothers back home after this situation we like to move from Israel and travel the world. In chiang Mai ,I have many Rastafarian brothers and we liked to hang out at the rasta /reggae bars there. I also liked very much to meet the western ladies /backpackers who go there. Some times there were group of Israeli womans there but, ok, they are like my sisters from back home and we got through a lot together, But, let me say and not to cause offence, Israeli womens not always the most handsome ,right?

Well, nice to meet u all and hoping my stay here will be well accepted and enjoyable. I have many questions and thoughts about Thailand and hope to share another day.

Greetings and peace ,daMaven (Ben)
