Thank you TA.... I must admit that I was taken back when I saw the name FonTuk, He was a good friend and is dearly missed by many.

It's great to see you over here MrB and thanks for the welcome.

Thanks Lanzalad. I have heard nothing but good about your forum. Look forward to posting here.

Thanks John... greatly appreciated mate.

Many thanks Mike. I hope to start up a few photo threads over here also.

It sure as hell feels that way at times Larry.... but I have a lot of help from a great collection of " grumpy old farts " who just don't know when to quit.... 555

Glad to see this thread going. I always spend the first week of my trips staying at Secrets. And the bar downstairs...... regardless of name on the door.

Greetings from high up in the Rocky Mountains. My first time posting although I have been lurking. My first trip to Thailand was 2004 on a dive excursion with some mates. Needless to say it changed my life forever. I discovered Pattaya in 2006 and have never looked back. I have been incredibly lucky as I have made many friends through these forums over the years ( and 2 pretty good enemies but they don't count ) And I have been able to meet up with a great deal of these scoundrels in real life. It's always a pleasure finally being able to put a face to a board name. I am a great lover of Pattaya and all that it has to offer. I also love posting photographs, both my own and those from the internet. I look forward to seeing what 247 has to offer............ thumper63 PS. I am not a refuge/survivor of another forum that was supposed to close almost 2 months age..... 555 Imagine my surprise to see the name fon-tuk....... needless to say, it took me back a bit.
