Yes, HH is great place. It's the acceptable face of ex-pat culture blending with the Thai - through mutual respect.

I take every national of very nationality on the level. I don't give credit for wealth - or the reverse. It's a strategy that for me has paid big dividends commercially.

And these are just the reported ones I know of a guy who travelled to the kingdom about fifteen years ago - he wasn't the brightest light on the xmas tree, and was mesmerised by the ease of getting laid...
