Getting Started
September 22, 2007
Life has been an adventure for me since I moved to Thailand more than 8 months ago, and this blog, my first, is certainly part of the adventure.
One thing I have noticed, it doesn’t take extra keen powers of observation, is that here in Thailand, the internet is grossly underutilized, in fact, it is often feared. Yeah, makes no sense to me either, but that is the way it is here. I have decided that I want to play a little part in changing that.
I live in Pattaya, a major resort area with a rather, shall we say spicey reputation. Pattaya is one of the top ‘party’ places on the planet. Pattaya is like a pre-Katrina New Orleans on steroids, but with prices for everything reduced to fire (hurricane?) sale levels. The good news is that it brings in the tourists in droves, but that good news, is also bad news. Tourist money always tends to attract some number of unscrupulous characters willing to use rather creative means to get thier hands into the tourist’s wallet, and Pattaya is no exception. We have some extremely creative people here.
Having said that, I must say that there are also quite a few fine people here, and quite a few businesses where the ethical standards are high. These people and businesses are the targets of my efforts. What can I do for them? Excellent question, it is one I ask myself many times daily. Considering the power of the net, and the minimal role it currently plays, the options are limited only by imagination. My website, www.onlyfromasia.com, is being built now (and will, of course, have a link to this blog). It will give a more detailed description of the services I am offering.
That is about all for now, do stop back from time to time and see what I have been up to.
