Hello everyone, The names Clint, from the UK. I've been lurking in the background silently watching the threads, for the longest time I've wanted to move to Thailand but not been in the position to do so... Until now... By the will of the universe, my business has started to improve and I am finally almost at the stage of making the big move! When I get there, I'd like to spend some time exploring different areas to find the place that resonates with my current goal of building my business, naturally, I am thinking of Bangkok, Chiang Mai/Rai, Koh Phangan/Samui There is one thing that still worries me, Visas... I am on a Hungarian passport which should allow me 30 days of visa-less stay but I wanted to ask people's opinion on ways of staying in the country fairly long term, I'm thinking 6-12 months. I won't have much money saved, but I plan to get there with around £6-7k and a personal annual income of around £72k. I am very much looking forward to meeting some of you and of course, any and all help is greatly appreciated!

I just posted this video in a comment before, but it's too good not to have a post of its own. One of the things I like most about Thai people is their sense of humor! It's very British, think self deprecating banter! They have zero problems calling you 'fat man', 'bald man', or whatever they find amusing in Thai, right to your face with a great big smile. You see, this humor is everywhere, even in their TV ads. A word of caution - if you can't take a joke or are easily offended (Americans cough cough), Thailand might not be a good fit for you. If you're planning on spending time here, you'd better pack your sense of humor and leave your political correctness at home!
