I wonder how the other expats living in not touristy places do to meet up with other foreigners.
As most of you know I'm busy in tourist industry for 6 months on Koh Phayam, and staying in Ranong for the low season.
I recon it's about 50 foreigners living full time in Ranong. As in most other small communities it's a lot of different people and quite a bit of backstabbing going on.
But anyway, we have managed to get a gathering every Sunday and meet up in a local restaurant and ending the night in several bars. Sometimes we are only 5-6 people, but most of the time we are more than 10.
It's a great way to get to know the local expats from all over the world. Last week we had, Noggies, Swedish, English, Aussies, Hong Kong, American and French nationalities.
Being stuck with Thais for weeks would make me insane even tho I love my break from being a host in the tourist industry. It is really nice to be on the other side of the bar sometimes :-)
Hmmm Sunday today, time for a shower and hit the town.
