Where are they now?

JJack just started a thread on members being on here more than 5 years and their views.

I happen to mention a former member Steve 252 who apparantly sadly passed in a motor bike accident and I don't want jack thread to go off topic.

While I done a quick search I came across names like irishrover khunwilko Tezza

Fergs66 was a character and that's going back

I am sure there is many more names that you guys remember and a bonus would be if anyone knows if they ever settled in Thailand or somewhere else.

Cheers

I stumbled across some Cambodian travel forum, and saw a poster named "soi dog". Wonder if that's our old buddy?

So old Fergs has gone back to England has he? the last time I met him he was happily living in Chaam as was Otny.

Do you know for a fact that Steve252 passed away? I remember people saying it possibly happened but no one seemed to know for sure or have any real evidence

What is the pub that Millwall_Fan runs?

Anyone remember BobTrips? He was the photographer who travelled on the smell of an oily rag.

#6 I joined this site in 2003 when I first went to LOS, but stopped posting after a few years because I felt that in the fast changing world there, my info. was no longer relevant.
Also the great purge of many of the previously mentioned characters sapped the spirit from the forum.
I still stalk from the sidelines in the hope that some day I will return to Thailand.

#7: I remember BobTrips. Camboman was also a regular poster who was a great photographer.

Got me looking back through PM's, jogged the memory there: Charleyboy, toolsforfools, PukhetRichard, sawadeekrab, Lotteko, somebodyelse, Girllrig, Gorshar; who knows where they are now? Bwanabrad is still in LOS last I heard.

Millwall_Fan is running the Olde Belle in Chiang Mai.
Girllrig is back in the US after becoming jaded with living in Thailand and in particular Thai men.
I believe Gorshar is busy running his Siem Reap guesthouse the Two Dragons
Camboman was from Portland, dont know if he is still there though.

No one knows for an absolute fact that steve has passed away but he was a prolific poster who suddenly stopped and the story came out at the same time.
