Hey everybody,
I'm new here. I came across this website while I sit at Ho Chi Mihn airport waiting for my flight back to BKK. My tourist Visa ran out a few months ago and I fly outside of THailand to extend my stay for another 30 days. I've been thinking about studying to acquire a ED visa, however, I know that I couldn't handle a full college course load on top of my job ( self employed). As a result, I've been flying around until I found another solution. Luckily I found a permanent solution before my 90day Vietnam expires. I'll be learning Thai and obtaining a ED visa for the next year 
I was in Pattaya floating market several months back and I remembered seeing a sign about " Study Thai = Visa" so after some google searches I came across Walen Thai school. I'll begin the app tomorrow and I'll share my experience so others can follow if you need a simple solution as I did.
Back to the post. Why am I here? I'm looking for the some fluent english speaking individuals. For what purpose? Socializing of course. Looking for some optimistic , creative, adventurous people. Lets see where this can go....
About Me: Just turned 29 ( oh my). Born and Raised in California,USA. I enjoy outdoor activities. I miss snowboarding, mountain bike riding, dirt-motorcycles( dirtbikes), swimming in crystal clear rivers + lakes....but I did some snorkeling in Somet Island and I'm hooked. Tons of fun.
Why bangkok? I'm a Currency Day trader and I needed to be in an Asian Time Zone for my career. Maybe Singapore, Hong kong, Japan, in the future travel. For now, BKK is good to me.
R U fluent in English?
Cool, are you trading Forex, I am also into it now,
Hi. I'm Thai, born and raised in Bangkok, but went to US (Alabama and Honolulu for about 2 years in total). I like road trip traveling (budget ones) and Bangkok tour. Maybe we can join traveling and I can show you around. I think my English is getting worse, so it is quite a good idea to befriend with a native English speaker, if you don't mind.
My facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/L64di You can see many of my traveling albums haha I like traveling.
