The last 3 years I have been really lucky to have been there 18 times as Im building a place there to live in In 18 years of visiting Thailand  Ive been there about 60 odd times averaging 3 a year.
The credit crunch has hit me now so only been twice this year but as soon as things pick up Im off to live the dream .....

From the same month last year, I've done 4 trips so far.

Well, it costs about $200 for a return and 2 half hours flight. So yeah, I can do it pretty regularly.

I'm trying to keep my average to 2 trips a year. I personally prefer the high season, but only because I find the weather more comfortable. If I could cope with the bl**dy humidity I might even try 3 a year.

fair enough... 5 years aint so long

We'll put it down to a work in progress

I'd be curious to know how many of us in the forum live / work in LOS year round ?? (a 6th answer?)   ?

   (lucky bastards that we are !!!)

[perth_couple]

We go once or twice a year but usually for at least a month at a time.. With the next trip in Oct/Nov that will be 3.5 months spent in Thailand in the last 12...

We go tend to go less often, for longer

[manarak]

I hope to do no trips at all reasonably soon...

[Guest]

Well 2-3 times a year works, but I have been lucky enough to manage a few more than that in the last couple of years

[rxpharm]

About 4-5 times a year for around 7-14 days a time. Manage to get a lot of holidays working as an ex-pat in the Middle East.

Back in the UK for 3 months, 2 months down and flying back to LOS 26th September. Have i missed the UK, Nope, not a sausage.

First time in 2 years that i have been back to the UK to sort out family business. Lucky enough to have a Non Imm O visa and dual nationality so normally when the year is about to end i post the other passport back to my brother and get him to send off for my next visa.

Married a thai woman years ago (been seperated for a few years) before i saw the errors of my ways and luckily that gives me the easy option to get 15 months out of each visa.

Have 2 houses in the UK bought 20 years ago with no mortgages and rent out to my local University for the overseas students to live in. so live off there income and some other things i have been doing business wise that are legit'ish    

Live normally up in Phitsanulok but getting bored up there so will be relocating down to near Pattaya, thinking of Bang Saen as its not too bad there and a 20 minute journey to the madness of pattaya.

ps in Patts from the 27th Sept so will have to meet for a few beers, with other BM's in the area.
