West coast. Originally from Vancouver. Now spending half my time in Buriram. I?ve been coming to Thailand on holidays (less than 30 days) for a long time. Last year was the start to the longer term visas. Working (wrong word) on getting my retirement visa now. Right now I'm on the 1yr multiple entry.
If anyone is interested we?re building a house and I?ve put together series of build videos. On YouTube - PolarAttack - that?s me redman I think you can also click on my globe over to the left.

Polar attack. Less acronym's and more words make reading and understanding easier.

If a dairy queen was all there was in Hope, I'd say Hope had no hope.

Sorry for the delayed response. It seems I?m not getting my notifications.
My message was in response to Tassie who lived in Hope in 1972. Hope BC (British Columbia) is a true place. It is where Sylvester Stallone filmed his very first Rambo movie. It was made to look like a small US town. When leaving the city of Vancouver it is generally the first stop to get gas. As a kid all I remembered was, there was a DQ - Dairy Queen there and also a gas station. It later became the fork in the road. The original Highway #1 that crosses Canada west to east as well as the new Coquihala Highway. Nicknamed the Coke.(because no one could spell it and most had trouble pronouncing it) Osoyoos was a small summer town, now a resort, now famous for their wines. The names are true to the indigenous people as they were the original settlers. Yup, we don?t say Indians anymore. Sorry for the confusion. I won?t leave those abbreviations anymore buttslap
