SublimeBreeze 0 #1 November 15, 2004 Hey everybody... Im sure nobody missed me as I am a ghost here but I wanted to share some pictures from thailand with you. I am still in thailand and will still be there for another 6 months. I will *hopefully be fluent in a couple more months altough I have tons of work to do. If anyone is comming up to Chiang Mai and wants some advice and or to grab a drink let me know. I have over a 1000 pictures up I think... last time I checked it was up there. www.seaninthailand.com Well enjoy I would also like to hear about your experiences. The only thing I do not like about thailand is that I cannot go skydiving and I miss it more than you can know.... well actually you might know =D Sean Sean In Thailand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigway 4 #5 November 15, 2004 where are you now in thailand? out of curiosity, how can you be there for the next 6 months? are you crossing the boarder ever every month to renew the visa? You will find that there is one day a year of skydiving allowed in thailand. I am heading back for my 6th time in febuary for a round three months. i Went to a thai boxing camp on koh samui last time i was there so will be going to stay in the camp for 2 more months and then head up around chang mai. I cant wait to get back to thailand, i am having withdrawl symptoms of the thai food and culture. Life in thailand is like nothing you could experience without being there. Nothing to worry about and lots of adventure. last time i was on koh samui we hired some bikes and went uo to the middle of koh samui, got lost, ran out of gas three times, the ride should have taken a few hours, we were in that jungle for around 14 hours, completley lost, going in circles, pushing the bikes up massive hills, an asthma attack, my mate got bitten on the head from a monkey....this was the greatest day i had in thailand. Take it easy have you asked for any toilet paper for xmas? or maybe a toilet that has a flush? oh, the luxuries of thailand. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Hahaha that is what I'm doing when I go down to Chile to avoid the visa fees and hassle. We're all going to pop over to Argentina for a couple of days and then re-enter the country Dixie HISPA #56 Facil Rodriguez "Scientific research has shown that 60% of the time, it works every time."

bigway 4 #8 November 15, 2004 No i am not 'positive' but have been advised of this many times. Something along the lines of their being a boogie there once a year when the thai airforce let you jump or something, am i wrong here? Please correct me if you know different but i know there was a huge boggie recently, a one off i know but thought there was also a day that the airforce let a boggie happen. I am interested in finding more out on this if anyone knows more details of skydiving in thailand. I have even heard that there is plans of a dropzone opening. check out there website, there was tandem skydives happening today and on the search i just did there was a dropzone close to there that closed last year and this new one opens this month. http://www.skydivethailand.com/ .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

bigway 4 #12 November 15, 2004 30 U.S. dollars though, it aint cheap to skydive in thailand like you think it would be. For 200 baht you can get a nice airconditioned room on a beautiful beach in koh samui, am meal for 75 baht, i back of smokes for 50 baht and a jump ticket for 1300 baht. I would have though skydiving would be a cheaper option in thailand. the owners will make a killing considering the operating costs in thailand and theur overheads. Though it seems like it is being run by americans or europeans, there is no way that a foreigner can own land in thailand, they must have a wife who is thai who owns the land or a person who is part of their company who is thai who owns the land. This says to me that at any time when the buissness bevomes sucessfull the thai person who is owning the land could easily turn around and say to the foreigners who run the dz that they are not welcome anymore. Unless of course the land is rented out by a government interest and the Thai king is making some of this money. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw this a couple of days ago. http://www.skydivethailand.com/ Thailand is one of my favorite places, if you get down Phuket way, visit Rachia island (it's just like that last beach shot). White coral sand, hermit & fiddler crabs, and throw a slice of bread down your shorts for some unusual attention in the surf. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SublimeBreeze 0 #15 November 17, 2004 I do not need to go to the border because I am in school and get a Non-immigrant visa. I am learning how to speak thai and also I think I will be ordained as a monk soon. Thanks for the information on the place to skydive. The overhead here would be probably similar because the person has to buy equipment, and the plane which is not really any cheaper here. Gas here is just about the same price as back home. Anyways I wish there was low cost skydiving here but its not happening. If anybody is in Chiang Maior planning to come to Chiang Mai... I got the lowdown... seriously contact me and let me know when your comming! Sean Sean In Thailand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
