I'm Dave from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

I am impressed with the quality posts, and people on this site, especially in everybody's willingness to help.  This is so refreshing to see.  My wife Grace, and I will be flying to Thailand in another week.  We are considering moving to Chiang Mai, if our week-long investigation of the city and surrounding area looks promising.  I have a lot of questions, which I am sure have already been answered on this site, so I have a lot of reading to do!
