Hi all I am just joining to see if this forum can be helpful to me. I see that the replies here are pretty recent so this means that it is an active forum.

My name is Kramvi and I am in the process of applying for New Zealand. So thought I could get a few insights from people here. I am just going to send my ITA shortly. Am still waiting for my NZQA results.

I am in the hospitality management sector. Any other people from here in this profession? Would love to hear from all.

Hi we are hoping to move to Thailand in the next 4 to 5 years so that I can semi retire there.
I am 51 at present, my wife is Thai and has British/Thai status as is our 11yr old son.
I found your web site by accident via Sakon Nakhon Live blog site, and I find British Expats very interesting and think you may be able to us in the future.

Hi Kramvi

I see you are already finding your feet on our NZ forum, which is exactly the place to chat with others living and working there.
That just leaves me to say welcome to BE and all the very best with your plans.

Hi Petey

Welcome to BE to you too.
I recommend you check out the Far East forum, where you can hat with other expats who are living and working in Thailand. Baked bean is the concierge for that forum - she is lovely and will help you find your feet there.
You will find the forum by clicking on the 'forum index' tab on the top left corner of this page. Scrol down the list of countries until you see the title Far East - double click that and you're in. I believe (if my senile memory serves me right ) that there is actually a Thai forum. They're a friendly lot over in the Far East so I think you will enkioy some good chats and information discoveries.

All the very best with yoru move too.

Hi Peteyp40 and welcome to BE. We have a Concierge called Nonthaburi who patrols the Thailand forum from time to time. Are you planning on moving to the Isaan region or going somewhere else?

I used to live in Phuket before moving to Penang. I cannot say in all honesty that I really settled there, but the food is fabulous for sure.
