After a year spent wandering in the wilderness, I finally stumbled on this forum as the closest continuation to Phuket-info. I was in Patong when Nicke passed away in February of last year. It was a shocking experience that I was closer to than I would have intended, having hooked up with Ead's cousin for a couple LT evenings just before Nicke's death. I was not comfortable relating my experience in a trip report, and shortly thereafter, PI shut down due to circumstances that board members are no doubt aware of.
I'm happy to see so many familiar names and handles on this forum again. I monitored Thai Dreaming for a while, but didn't feel compelled to join. Briefly skimming the threads here revealed much of the old flavor that I enjoyed so much, so here I am. I've simplified my handle to be more compatible with forum software, but otherwise am still Bro. Tiger.
