Hey guys - hello from New York City!
I am brand new to this Board (my very first day!) and happy to be here - I am enjoying the freewheeling banter and the easy attitude(s) here.
I have been coming to Thailand many times each year for many years, but have not been around for the past two years. I will be happily arriving again this month and staying for two or so months. I have an apartment that I keep in Bangkok (Sathorn area) and will probably visit Pattaya (of course) and go upcountry, as well as take a longggg train trip from BKK-Malay border (something I have always wanted to try).
So, guys... besides welcoming here.... has stuff changed a lot? My last visit coincided with the Red Shirt situation in BKK... Anything you would suggest for someone who is by no means a newbie but has been away a bit?
Thanks!!!
