As today is 8 months since I moved to Thailand, thought I'd share a quick update for those who helped with so much great advice before.
It's been a wonderful experience so far and enjoying living here. Have made some good friends from around the world while at the Thai language lessons attending weekly, and it's been great hanging out with ex-colleagues from various Thai companies I've worked with in the past.
After 6 months of lessons, I can speak Thai to a conversational level, and able to read fairly well (if not slowly), writing is the most difficult, and short sentences are as much as can achieve for now.
Toughest aspect has been not visiting parents as would have when living in London, although they are visiting in February, which is going to be a special moment.
Thanks again for all the great advice and suggestions from everyone.
stoneroses19 What a wonderfully positive thread, and thank you for the update. Fantastic news and good luck going forward.

No idea where that's from, but I couldn't agree more.
Don't forget to update us on your first Thai Christmas experience!
Edit: Actually, it's probably Hallmark, isn't it? Doesn't make it any less true though!

It makes my daily 80 minute drive to work (when I am actually working) seem quite close.
