Looking for advisors/experts in Thailand

Hi Priscilla,

I'd be glad to help; im an ex Thailand / Pattaya expat and i keep up to date in regards to Thailand and expats issues while visiting or living there.

Hello Priscilla, I would be happy to help the community members in case they have any issue.
Thanks

Hello and Sawasdee khrap,

           I'm living here for 16 years, teaching English for 14, and it would be my pleasure to come up with ideas, solutions, etc..

        Kind regards from Sisaket,

              Mike with family

I just found you on Expat.com and I don't think I qualify as the kind of expert you are looking for.
I was a driving instructor in USA. For two years in the military and, later, three years as a civilian.
When I came to Thailand more than ten years ago I considered starting my own driving school but
when I got my Thai license and the instructor wanted to give me an award for a ten minute test drive -- I think the award was for driving on the proper side of the road -- after I checked the traffic in a few cities and villages -- I dropped the idea.
I am old but I decided to maintain my sanity for a few more years.

I 'm Jib. I 'm Thai and live in On nut Bangkok. I quite interested in your Project.
So can I have more information in your project?

I am living in thailand from 8 years.
I can help

My wife made her license when I had to receive an artificial knee joint abroad after the local doctors had messed my leg up that the Tibia head after the OP looked like some freakin' Somtham that was forgotten in the hot sun for ten plus years. ( Use your own imagination, please..)

    My lovely wife then drove my Mitsu L 200 for a few months and when I came back I saw that she's never using the fifth gear. When I pointed that out, it turned out that she'd made her license on an older pick up with a four gearbox. Thai people in general, are the world's best drivers. 

Mr. Gulfport,

    Would you be willing to talk to me about living abroad and or in Chiang Mai? I laugh cause I used to live in Gulfport MS not sure if that is where you got your Moniker from. anyway it would be nice to get a expat perspective before I pull the trigger.

Be glad to help when I can

Volunteer on a commercial website ? Why ?

Many members helped me when I was fresh off the boat so I'm giving something back.

Selfishness is not a good way to live.

When a website makes a lot of money but USE members to work for free, I find very funny that some people just accept to be slaves.

Then don't do it, but also shut your face insulting the better members that do this to help others.
This isn't anything to do with money, it's giving back to ordinary members, the sort of people that helped me when I needed it.

Only very selfish people who're very arrogant and ignorant would write such excremental rubbish as you do.

    I'm volunteering for an organisation that helps certain nationals in emergency situations and I've made some good friends within the organisation.

     Calling people who spend some time for others, slaves only shows what kind of person you are.

   Please do not insult people on here who have a different mindset than you've got

Thank you very much for your kind consideration. Did your mom not give you enough milk?

You're probably wasting your time trying to explain (as I was) because people like that only post such stuff to:
get a reaction (supplied - the second word is 'off')
are far too selfish and self important to understand helping strangers is a fine hobby.

I really don't give a flying rats how much the site earns for the owners, I do this to help people. As for cash, I earn easily enough to look after my family, save a useful amount, and I work in a philanthropic organisation dedicated to helping others - Bonus.

I'll live with being called foolish if my foolishness helps other people out of a difficult situation.

By the way, your use of "excremental " was almost Shakespearean - have you considered writing Sonnet 155?

Shall I compare thee to a summers day ...... no, that's been done.
