สวัสดี from Thailand

[maswov]

Hiyas, retired Navy here, settled in Thailand and now I am nearly finished building my new garage and am getting excited to start outfitting it with some new gear. I was researching about welding tables when I found this site. I wish I found it a few months ago before I started building though.

It started as a simple place to work on my Jeep and Datsun and morphed into a 1 bedroom apartment with a 6 or so car garage. I'll start a thread in the Garage Gallery and post some pics.

I noticed there are quite a few in MD, I grew up in Catonsville

Welcome to the GJ.

Welcome, living in Thailand, very interesting. Curious why you decided not to come back to the US and live after you retired from the Navy? I am guessing Thailand's low cost of living, and its tropical beauty makes this island nation a viable relocation destination.

Low cost of living is a big factor and I don't like cold weather. Also I'd be lying if I said the women didn't influence my decision.

So awesome. Thailand and a few other countries in that region are on my short list of places I want to see next. Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam too. But I'm not good with heat and humidity, so I need to travel carefully.

Make sure to include pics of you rides in your garage thread!

Some nice places to see there. I am about 100 km from the Laos border, come help me swap the engine in my Jeep then we can go for a road trip.
