Thread: Non-teacher moving to Bangkok

Hey guys, I've been lurking on this forum for awhile, soaking up your ex-pat knowledge of life in LOS. I'm moving to Bangkok in September for a 6 month stint volunteering with a local NGO.

Just thought I'd say hi and thanks for all the great info on this forum.

Hey guys, the NGO I am working with is so small that these posts could easily be traced back to me.

I know I should have nothing to worry about, but after reading a few of the posts on here about keeping your identity concealed online I'm not going to mention the name of the specific NGO.

If I get the chance to meet up with anyone for a brew at some point while I'm in Bangkok I'll gladly share the info.

Thanks for the welcome.

Must be working for MI5. He'd have to kill us if we found out

Or a hint, perhaps. Which government is it not organised by? Is it not organised by the Thai government or is it not organised by someone else?

Where you from Dude???

A part of a story from the Bangkok Post.

About 12 countries have officials based in Bangkok to deal exclusively with the problem of fake passports and visas, Mr Frebourg. In addition to France, others are Canada, the United States, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Belgium.

That's why the OP's name is puge12.

Did I blow a cover?

Stamp

I'm confused now. The OP says he can't tell us anything about himself and Stamp quotes a story about fake pasports. Stamp, are you implying that the OP is a fake, or that he's one of the people involved in "cracking down" on the fakes?

I know, Natalie8. These are the late hours after a long holiday. Perhaps the explanation below helps.
