I wanted to but the standard of living I am comfortable with was to expensive in Bangkok. I looked around and needed about 25-30k for a good condo in center.
I chose Pattaya because I got a nice condo for cheaper, but don’t really like the area I’m in. I also chose Pattaya just because it was an easy move from Bangkok and I was very tired of moving around and wanted stability. I’m getting a little older so being on the road all the time is not as easy.
I should have just rented places monthly and checked out Hua Hin, instead of signing a one year lease. I had good feelings about Hua Hin because there’s less low life stuff and looks like it has more class and quality people. I’m stuck here for the year now because I paid two months deposit I want to get back.
If you moved to the Nirun you would meet interesting people every day and hear their tragic life stories .....after you bought them a bottle !
A lot of disability pensioner I say

He tried that already. Nothing but bars. Try again or not at all. Give some suggestions or there’s not plenty to do. Here’s a hint: he does not want to walk around the mall all day either.
He could go to the Nirun to find out who owns that BMW ?

Has anyone saw the BMW yet abandoned with dust all over it?
If you drive past the swimming pool it's up on the ramp , is something going to be done about that ?
The place needs cleaning up and if I was going to buy in the Nirun I will be on the building committee

Absolutely!
Much better to be here in Pattaya than the West.
It's just unfortunately the ones with mental illness that they can't control are coming and turning to alcohol, I'm very sad for them

Forget Flybird too, almost just as bad. There's the noise factor to consider too, many of the Thais living in these places work in the entertainment industry, so they're coming home 1am, 2am, 3am talking loud, slamming doors, playing music. I've known a few guys living in both Flybird and Nirun and they only have negative stories to tell. Cops are always milling around too as there are so many dodgy people in both places.
What's it like around there in the early hours of weekend mornings
What's wrong with these poor farangs who are drinking and sitting in the street at 10am with phlegm around their chin coughing up

Alcohol, gambling etc has got these guys drinking in the street ,I really feel sorry for these guys living there

People were not friendly in these places asking me to buy them alcohol

Agreed, 0% chance this actually happened. If OP needs to pass the time with made up fantasies of being in Pattaya, I am sure there are better ways to make use of his time.
Then walk up to the end of nirun you will see a very dusty abandoned BMW it's in the car park entrance.
You live in the slum,get the lift down to where the pool is ,you will see it if you look left.
You worked hard all your life and you wasted it all !
You wasted your life working for nothing.
Must be on your <deleted> to live there , why didn't you save up instead of living there?

With the high airfares this is not going to change plus the poor exchange rate, Thailand is no longer a cheap holiday, bar owners open bars with no business plan some open a new one in low season, they then will have few lean months till high season hoping there will be customers, living on hope doesn’t pay the bills.
Your post is spot on.
I will go to Philippines next year can't see any point coming back to Thailand again nowadays year after year .
It's getting too expensive

Went up to the Nirun condos recently,I'm Australian but it reminded me of that UK show Coronation street.
Farangs shirtless , sitting outside mom & pop type shops with bottles of beer at 10am.
As I walked past one shop ,all the Thai women shopkeepers I presume stare at you like what's a stranger in this area ?
Secondly as I'm walking slowly a drunken old farang approaches me wearing a Chang singlet he points to it , hey buddy hey ol friend you can buy me a Chang ?
I keep walking to the end of the road to see another farang sitting with beer bottle slumped against the wall with phlegm on his mouth
I walked towards the end past their swimming pool to the car park ramp to see a very dusty abandoned BMW sitting there
A American accent farang approaches me " what are you looking at ?
I said " I said the building here ,do they have lifts here?
He said " I wouldn't have a clue.
I said well " Why did you approach me ?
He then walked off
I keep walking to see people staring at me like I'm a stranger in town
Terrible place and I won't buy there
Flybird might be better though I haven't looked

After today I have stopped helping anyone that needs help.
I was in a Pattaya restaurant this morning having breakfast when a old english fool started choking in the next table .
I was shocked into action without thinking as his Thai girlfriend started screaming.
I immediately went to the old fool and slappef his back when he coughed up the food and then started abusing me .
Calling me the most abuse vile names , all whilst sitting their panting.
I stood there shocked looking at him.
The staff came over ,he said I was talking to that farang pointing at me .
So I was going to abuse him back but just went back to my table and left ,if I didn't leave I could or would of abused him.
Please don't ask for my help in future,if I see anyone in distress I will mind my own business

Unfortunately Aussies are yes" men" nowadays and won't fight back !
You would never see Aussies fight like the French or Irish.
We are "yes sir ! How high you want me to jump sir ?

Kenny - WHY are you asking this to a message board instead of the proper authorities in your homeland that can give you concrete answers and not just hear what other people's thoughts, opinions and experiences have been? Makes no sense.
Ummmm...... because it's a message board? ????

July 1st starts in Australia with everyone now having to wait till aged 67 to get the pension.
BUT......good news...next month the GREENS will introduce a private members bill to lower that back to 65 !
The Union's are now supporting this claiming many tradesmen are having to go on the disability pension anyway because their bodies are worn out
Let's hope this gets passed !!!!

Not sure what they call this current Generation that is people between 20 & 28 yo
But do you think they are different than others?
This Gen don't seem to be money hungry as the ones in the 1990's
Work doesnt seem a priority
Taking selfies in front of gym mirrors and dancing on tiktok seem to be more important
Girls especially seem to be entitled to wanting to become more like men,there's no real ladies anymore
I hear them all the time when I catch public transport screaming and swearing drunk on weekends in the streets

Someone has been reading Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night".
The best thing IMO the OP can do is breathing exercises, plenty of Quigong clips on Youtube. Plus walking, push for a bit more distance each day.
Thanks Lacessit,at last a sensible & intelligent response

Last 2 weeks I know I had covid , no I didnt buy a test to get tested , but as I had covid last year I know I had it.
Anyway fast forward 10 days and I am not tired anymore but still have a cough and the worse body pain and it may sound weird but it's my left butt cheek.
And side of my leg with pins & needles in my right arm.
My butt cheeks is the worse pain .
I'm thinking as soon as I get to Thailand I will go for IV vitamin therapy.
I need tips to post recover

I will go see a doctor next week when I'm in Thailand
But for the last month I had a mate of mine help me with testereone injections 125 weekly into my glute
I have now noticed my nipples become erect ,on searching this it says too much testereone injections make you develop breasts !!
So my question is what medication do I need once I'm in Thailand and how do I know if I need it , obviously if my breasts are erect all the time it's too much testereone??
