Hi to all,

My name is Ben and i live in Bangkok...

I was reading your Forum and it looks like a nice place to be...can i stay?

If you need any help with planning your trip to Thailand, i'll be more than happy to help. feel free to e-mail me or ask here in the forum (it's always better to have few points of view...)

bye for now,
Benkok

Of course you can stay! Welcome

Cheers

ben---are you a thai native or a visitor or a transplant? what services do you offer? we love first hand info on this forum....many of us are visitors to asia but we also have a few residents too...

Hello Ben...

Hi Ben, what are you doing in The Big Mango? Been there long? I'm currently down under but return to BKK in April, and I'm really looking forward to that.

Hi Ben!

Hi guys, thank you for the warm welcome...

Well, i'm a "26 Years old Falang" living in Bangkok for the last 4 years...with my amazing Thai girlfriend…
In the first 3 years i was working for a jewelry manufacturer and in last July i opened my own business - providing business solutions to wholesalers and companies around the world - mostly with the connection between them and their Thai suppliers.
Part of the services are sourcing for new suppliers (All kind of products), arrange the orders, follow-ups, QC, Packing and shipping...
It's a small business but hopefully will grow this year...

In my spare time i like to go on the internet and help tourists to explore Thailand the best way...I know it's hard to plan a trip only with published information from people with business interest...so i'm offering my experience to help...

I also made thru the years some contacts with tourist guides (on a friendly basis) that I learned to be very good in what they do, so I recommend them to who ever asking (mostly friends and family)…never got a bad feedback…and I learn new things every day…

I’ll ask one of them to join us and share his knowledge and experience with you guys…

Well, that’s me…what about you?

(I'm sorry i'm using so many ...this is the only face i know how to do...is there anyone who can teach me some new faces??)

>< thanks

We're always glad to have new perspectives. As you can see since you've been reading our posts, many of us visit Bangkok regulary and we have a number of people living in Thailand who post here.

Do note that Fodors does not allow commercial posts, so if your friend who is a tour guide want sto offer information, he/she should do so without advertising their own services. Otherwise, the posts will be deleted by Fodors.

Just curious...what part of the world are you originally from? Happy Travels!

Hi Kathie,

Thank you for pointing out the commercial issue. I don't think he will come here to "fish" customers...(unlike others that i had noticed doing it in their own smart ways...)

Guenmai - lets play a game...you have 3 guesses...hit me...

your Canadian. becouse every young guy I've met in town (bangkok) is a canook (sp).

oops the game is three questions.

1. uhh do you know who Maurice "the rocket" Richard?

2 if you drive for a couple of kilometers will you have passed by a couple of countries?.

3 do you know the terminology in cricket?
------

Not sure about Ben's nationality (well, I do actually coz I know him...), but a sport buff as I am, I am familiar with the famous Canadiane's #9. Before my era but a legend indeed...
I also watch cricket so LBW, Wicket, Googly, Silly point, mid wicket and Don Bradman are all good friends...
your middle question puzzled me a bit, but he does come from a small place...

orgy...Canadian?? well...no...
as for your questions -
1.No
2.No
3.Hell No...

anybody else??

I'm guessing both Ben and Magical Routes are either XXXX or VB drinkers.

I do, but its imported...

Maybe across the Tasman then?
