Hello Jay,
Were in the states are you from  How is the transition going so far?

Gino

if you are going to work then you need work permits
they are very strict now and will fine you and throw you out of Thailand

You only need to upset one person and they will immediately call immigration and tell them
its your call

I'm in the developing phase of my online, US Based business.  So, it's kind of a secret.

Hi Gino,

I things are pretty much what I expected from all the research I did before I arrived. For one, most of the affordable hotels or condos have fairly weak wi-fi (1.5 - 2.5 Mbps). I'm currently researching a antenna that may help with the single via a usb port. If it works, it could really make things day and night.
Being a vegan (again),  is so great in Thailand. For that matter, being a non-vegan is also. But coming from Hawaii where the food is respectively horrible and expensive, I'm loving it.  I've lost 10 pounds without starving myself !

Jay,
Sounds like you have no regrets on your move.
Having lived in Hawaii myself for a short time I can relate to the cost of everything and not just food while I was there.
I hope to make my move by the first of the year, destination Chiang. Mai.
Also looking forward to the taste of real Fruit again unlike the stuff they pass off coming up from Mexico.

Keep us posted on you discoveries of settling in and the Do"s  & Do not"s of being the new guy in town.

Best of Luck to you.

Gino

Thanks Gino,

Update:  For all you " need-for-speed" online friends, I wanted to share a cafe location that has speeds to 21 Mbps !
Maya center food court area lower level. Look for the little UPS kiosk by the super market. Go out he glass doors and there it is.  Open 9 am - 9 pm. But bring mosquito repellent if you sit outside. and ear plugs. The Mall plays Beethoven 5th and a few others at deafening levels. The cafe is nice inside with AC outlets everywhere.

And while you're down there, check out the vegetarian stall. They sell rice wrapped bambo leaf-mixtures that is truly exotic. The ones in the steamer are sweet, the one in the bowel are not.  Also, sample the seasoned mushrooms that look like chicken. Incredible.

Hi everyone,

@jay > i have created a new topic as from your post on the Thailand forum for more visibility.

Thank you.
