Quite right, I follow the youtuber (as known as) 'Barfines and Powerlines' when he first made his home in Pattaya when he left the UK full time, after about four years, he must have put on 30 kilos and he is only a young guy, about his mid 30's but he won't see 60 the way he is carrying on.Yohan wrote: ↑October 11th, 2023, 4:56 am
Long stay in Pattaya has also its problems, look at some people next to you in that city - it's getting boring easily and many start drinking, wasting money for girls and otherwise nonsense, are into drugs +and are often bankrupt or find themselves in various serous problems like overstay.
I call the philippines the Elephant graveyard for western males. I think it is a nice way to die. When I lived there I did self improvement bu it is still hard to stay sharp because too much easy life vibrations makes one lazy. Though some danger there keeps one alert too.yick wrote: ↑October 11th, 2023, 11:46 pmQuite right, I follow the youtuber (as known as) 'Barfines and Powerlines' when he first made his home in Pattaya when he left the UK full time, after about four years, he must have put on 30 kilos and he is only a young guy, about his mid 30's but he won't see 60 the way he is carrying on.Yohan wrote: ↑October 11th, 2023, 4:56 am

I can see the appeal coming from the UK, nice weather, cheap booze, cheap meals that aren't healthy taste good and available 24/7 meaning you have no need to cook ever and that is without factoring the easy available sex -it is going to take years off your life if you are not careful. I think according to the statistics in the UK - Thailand is either no.1 or in the top three countries where Britons die abroad. I can imagine it is no.1 for males of a certain age and demographic.
I wouldn't retire to Pattaya but I can see the appeal but you need some proper hobbies or else the way you're going isn't going to be pretty.
I know many 'horror-stories' about Thailand. A single foreign man can be easily approached and cheated out of his money or if he stays alone he ofte is starting to suffer from depression, is drinking, even using drugs and finally jumping out of a window, lost his mind...yick wrote: ↑October 11th, 2023, 11:46 pmI can see the appeal coming from the UK, nice weather, cheap booze, cheap meals that aren't healthy taste good and available 24/7 meaning you have no need to cook ever and that is without factoring the easy available sex -it is going to take years off your life if you are not careful.

This is no offense to you because I think you're from the UK....but I stay far, far away from the Brits when I'm abroad. All the ones I've met have been overly confrontational and war-like. I'll stay far away from Pattaya, it's where the devil is.yick wrote: ↑October 11th, 2023, 11:46 pmQuite right, I follow the youtuber (as known as) 'Barfines and Powerlines' when he first made his home in Pattaya when he left the UK full time, after about four years, he must have put on 30 kilos and he is only a young guy, about his mid 30's but he won't see 60 the way he is carrying on.

Pattaya/Jomtien is a large area and last time I have not seen so many people from UK, they are just one group among many others.kangarunner wrote: ↑October 12th, 2023, 6:25 am..but I stay far, far away from the Brits when I'm abroad.

Fair enough, I stay away from them myself.kangarunner wrote: ↑October 12th, 2023, 6:25 amThis is no offense to you because I think you're from the UK....but I stay far, far away from the Brits when I'm abroad.
