I may be basically retired from en.Wiki, but as a seasoned Wikimaniac, a 20-year resident of Thailand, and knowing Bangkok like the back of my hand, if all goes well for 2021, I'll be there and more than willing to lend a helping hand. I would welcome the opportunity to meet some more users for real after years of happy collaboration.
