I feel your pain about communicating with the locals. Though in Jakarta there are a fair number of people who speak "Inggrish" well. I’m in Jakarta till Wednesday with some other MySQL Cluster users.

I've been there before a couple years ago, actually the problem in Thailand is the one you describe : very difficult to communicate with locals out of Bangkok, you have to learn some Thai very fast :) I also happen to be in SE Asia - Philippines right now, there should be more opportunities for you to find conferences or user groups since everybody is speaking English here as an official language. Besides, you might also like the place, living on islands is what you would call a departure from usual life :) Have a great time in Thailand, -G Hi Walter, nice to know that you’re in Khon Kaen !
