About me

I turned my back on ‘normal’ life on 31st July 2005 and have been in Thailand pretty much ever since.

I’m now married and have a 10-month old son, and live in Tha Sala in Nakhon Si Thammarat province.

I don’t work, but have a hobby site with information about Nakhon which hopefully will get more thorough as time goes on.
