I do know a guy called Nick, an ex railway man from UK, originates from NW UK, Preston or Warrington. If its the same guy I will pass on the message. Would you be able to PM with a contact number for him to chase up please, if he is indeed the bloke? MTIA

 If he is a member of an expat community somewhere in Thailand(like most people are) his name and occupation might be enough. This is a very extensively read forum. If you can't help him, just move on.

perhaps half of all expats living in Thailand don't work here because they're retired, are remote workers or FIFO or something. In this case, knowing their name and location and any personal interests/groups he may be in (as you suggest) would help.

 Clearly, the more information the better. If that's all you got though it's still worth a go and not something to get roasted about.

 most people avoid expats groups .

you take your ignorance for a reality . I know hundreds of people living in Thailand for a long time none of them in any kind of expat group.

 and you take your individual experience for reality.. So the majority of Western expats come to Thailand, make zero friends here who speak English. Learn Thai instantly and only make Thai friends?

 so how do you know hundreds of people who aren't part of any expat community? Are you not an expat? They know you...

Also what do you think an "expat community" is? Like some cult or something? It's literally just having some expat friends or knowing other expats.

 again, who said group? YOU. Expat community doesn't have to be a fixed group. As I said, it's literally just knowing some other expats and / or having some friends who are expats. Nice to see a non expat is an expert tho...

Also, this is fb group is an "expat community"... You're in one right now....
