Whoops, thanks for letting me know. I tried to create a regular post after seeing your comment, but it keeps redirecting me back to this page probably because the URL is the same. If anyone on the mod team cares to enforce this rule, feel free to delete this post and I'll make another one without the Show HN prefix. Otherwise I'm going to carry on with this one.
I've lived on and off in Bangkok for ten years, in Phrom Pong area now. Let me know if you want to meet and talk nomad talk. Track down my email through my HN profile.
Cool! I might be up for that. I'll reach out a bit later.
