My dad used to do what they call.a "Hopaote" technique Its using a finger or two plunging it into between the butt cheeks !

You are still taking a risk I guess you use "risk management" though , obviously if it's some iced out tattooed muscled guy pushing in line in a Walking street 711 you would have to analyse that "risk" of saying anything

Ok heard Kali ( knife fighting ) is better for elderly people to learn? Anyone heard of that or know knife fighting skills ?

I wonder if they actually do work?? ( the electric stun things they sell at Thai markets) .is there much voltage?

Sounds like Australia 😂

I was reading a lot of these comments more ...thanks for being honest 👍

Was that you Bob I saw sitting in the steps outside the Nirun with your bottle and phone?

A " mind control" course ? 🤣🤣

Good point ,you have to have a level of situational awareness Walking towards drunk farangs at 2am in Walking street would be high risk I guess

Well if there was money to be exchanged it would be 18 I'm told Maybe a Thai lawyer can clarify that

Unfortunately in Australia they privatised the job seeking services ,so apparently they only want people who have been unemployed 6 months or more so they get bigger commissions Mind you there is no unemployment here in Australia if you want to work Hard to find tradies , retail workers etc Many restaurants closed ,no staff They are so desperate to bouncers outside nightclubs they are taking 70yo 's and I kid you not

I couldn't be bothered carrying that spray What about that electric stun thing they sell in the market stalls??

Back in July in Pattaya I was in the McDonald's one week night I walked in to see several young farangs seem to be Europeans ,in their 20's one was dancing ,singing shouting I'm standing there suddenly he grabs me from the front collar with one hand and tries to pull me into dancing with him. I was froze for a minute his friends laughing with one pulling out his phone to record Suddenly this guy gets more violent and grabs my shirt to pull it off me over my head I used my right hand and swing it down which didn't do much good but off balance is ,no one came to help The question is Are you able to defend yourself in a situation like that ? Be honest , can you fight ? Are you able to defend yourself? Even if your in America you wouldn't able to use a gun because some drugged kid grabs you do you have to use your own hands

Bob lives in a studio room in the Nirun in Pattaya . Don't know if you have been past the Nirun ,but a lot of shirtless farang outside with tattoos all ages holding a beer bottle ...and absolutely nothing wrong with that !🍾

Wow! Thanks for being honest Did you just go on holiday or did you live there for awhile?

We don't have Walmart in Australia, as for greeters we don't even have them , Trying to get a Australian to greet someone,yeah right

Yes , be great to hear more of your story I know you mentioned you and your Thai wife moved back to Australia to a Country city and she works in a nursing home I think you mentioned May I ask how you went bankrupt

I guess before ...yes before that you decide to up everything, that you decide your daily weekly routine Maybe even doing a " practice run" ....3 months stay etc

I don't want to go off topic but not every senior citizen 70plus still working is broke , I have 10 in my workplace who are rich and still come to work, I think lonilesness I'm thinking , one guy is 81 He turns up every morning at his 5am shift ,goodness knows why

So you must live in the North West of Thailand? Is it the North East that is hot and dry ?

Absolutely! But remember not everyone likes what we like . I love my Thai massages

So the question is please be honest ....how many of you actually made the retirement to Thailand whether that be Pattaya or another place and ......ended up going back to your own country.... because of boredom OR it just wasn't what you imagined. I believe a few Aussie guys on here did. now I just watched a YouTuber who after one year retirement in Pattaya is going back to Europe as he is bored in his one year retirement in that one year he mentions everyday was the same ,he rented a studio in Central Pattaya , rose every morning, had his coffee on the balcony, went to the gym and the day became boring. It wasn't the excited lifestyle he thought it would be I was surprised there was nearly 100 comments from older guys who had taken retirement in Asia from Thailand to the Philippines and all said they were or had gone back to their home country , all said they got bored ,life was boring there in retirement a few mentioned "heat" and they were not used to it everyday ,others mentioned traffic and noise etc but the main was boredom it's not always about financial reasons ,as I said these guys are cashed up retirees going back to their countries after a year or so I think they in reality once retired miss their routine, and how many of you say 6 months into retirement living into Thailand actually have thoughts of regret ?

I try to stay out of the Sun especially in skin cancer Australia The Sun in Australia is a hot burning sun almost like a blowtorch Even in Thailand my skin becomes red I prefer capsules but I'm not sure , someone actually told me we need sun

Hardly needed a life sentence though ! There are thousands of Filipino housekeeping staff in Australia

Omg 10 years ! I'm sorry to hear that , it obviously broke your marriage.
