I've traveled around quite a bit, but have yet to visit Thailand. I want to get there at some point -- it looks like such a beautiful country. And I love the food!

Hi Ben, and another warm welcome to AC ! 🤗

That's a nice photo; kinda looks like a movie scene! And not nearly as comfortable as a traditional Jinrikisha, or, are those Trishaws the traditional Jinrikishas nowadays?

Have you visited the [Burma Railway?] Memorial, that tragically so many British Soldiers were horrifically forced to build? And/or the River Kwai site? Methinks that must be a tremendously moving experience.

The country and coastlines look interesting and appealing. Perhaps you could post several of your travel photos? ;)

My 'best friend' throughout our school years went on to become a Captain of one of the Navy Seals Teams. I remember that he had some wild sounding nights in Bangkok stories. That is, the ones he could tell me about. 🙄

Just the other day, for some unknown reason,
I was remembering a fellow student of mine—in the 6th grade—who was from Thailand, having just moved to America. And wondering, during the memory, where he might have moved on to afterwards, as I don't remember ever seeing him again, throughout our junior and senior high schools.
Don't know why that memory recycled through my mind the other day, but seems my whole lifetime of memories has been doing that—flashing back in my mind—over the last 4~5 months. Perhaps there's a reason . . . ? :unsure:

Hope that you are greatly enjoying your life in Thailand, and that your 20 years there have brought you countless wonderful & happy moments & days & years.

After 20 years living permanently in Thailand I think Ive about see most things , the good , the bad and the crazy . At the top of my crazy list would have to be the roads and traffic . Venturing out on Thai roads is a bit like playing Russian roulette . The number of Thai vehicles Ive seen that made me scratch my head in amazement , seems to grow day by day . 😯
