Yes 👍 I doubt I could retire to a "country" area I went out 6 hours from Sydney once in a car yo see dead kangaroos lying in the side of the road and scary trees swaying in the dark with no lights ,never again and same with Isaan I'm a city boy and for now on will stick with Cities ,Bangkok Manila etc It's too scary ,I'm not trying to be weird (even though a work colleague woman called me this behind my back) but I actually saw "monsters"in the night hiding behind the dark swaying trees in the Country area and 🦘 kangaroos jumping

So really you want something like CHEERS bar ,....where everyone knows your name !!

Get into a ROUTINE One reason I got bored in my 6 week imprisonment in Pattaya was because I had no routine ! Going to bed late waking up.late no planning for the day or even week! Make plans for the week ahead Time management!! Sleep,gym ,work , days off And do MULTI TASKING When your at work , do other personal things instead of working I bring my washing in to wash my clothes in the the hospital laundry etc and wash them at night during work time Also go on ASEAN during work time as well , I also "exercise" at work to get in my cardio ....walk upstairs,walking ,squats and balance on one leg as your mopping the stairwells and I don't care who sees me ! If your doing too much then you need to say NO Try working shift work that's time management, shift workers have the Highest sick leave record , not me though One week 11pm to 7am One week 2pm to 10pm One week 6am to 2pm Manage your time !!!!

Geez ..no don't buy a condo and be stuck in ONE place ! I could never imagine buying at that View Talay 2B where I was imprisoned for 6 weeks,let out by white shirted uniform security guards to the swimming pool with a expensive cafe and mini mart every morning and then locked up in the afternoon to hear doors slamming ,shouting by thais and security guards ,motorbikes roaring ....please I escaped!!! Retirement is NOT meant to be like that As I sat near the pool to watch OLD Fools less than my age on ZIMMER frames toddling along "doin the dance"🕺 unfortunately I had to 😋kick in the glass door at the end of the hallway to the swimming pool because it was locked

Obviously your not in Australia luckily , because you can't get your own retirement savings (superannuation) until 60...then to make it more DIFFICULT you have to wait until 67 to get the govt old age pension,and to make that more difficult you have to be in the Country 2 years before applying !!!

Well evidence suggests not Profit must be in straight areas ?

Increased Testereone eg TRT injections can cause this Overuse of testereone

I was just thinking why are Ladyboy bars predominantly in "straight areas" ? Particularly in Pattaya and Bangkok ? Are the gay community not interested in ladyboy transexuals? Obviously the evidence is there to suggest not . Is there any such thing as Ladyboy Go Go bars where they have dancers? If so why are these in "straight areas" of Pattaya?

Apparently she was sitting on your face as you were babbling on about some bloke called Trump over in America , we could still hear your dulcite American tones babbling on as she sat her Scottish bum cheeks on either side of your face

I wonder if having a farang bar in say Isaan areas are easier ? I recall a few ...must be like 100 years ago ....I think it was called FArang Connection somewhere that WAS very successful I think the old owner passed away and it stopped?

So you worked to 58, the. Got the disability pension until 65? I think about 2016 the Australian Government done a audit on Aussies living in Asia all on Disability pension for various reasons,back problem,mental problem etc They then changed the rules saying you are only allowed 3 months overseas which brought home many disability recipients all forced back to work in Australia

Yes I think as a farang bar owner YOU have to be there in your own business everyday! I recall an Irish bar many moons ago in Pattaya that failed as the farang owner didn't attend

Ahhh very important point. Imagine being a bar owner and ole Trevor on his 2 weeks trip comes to your bar every night and falls in love with Pom the vicious bitch bar girl who had 5 boyfriends....but...you can't say nuthin to Trevor !!

To retire at 45 you either need a pension (disability) from your home country ,enough to survive Rental income Or a big savings account to withdraw from when you need Or a business income generating money

And what topics is he talking about in the bar he has ? Any topics on The Manila subway or about books on Statistical data?

I would like to start a bar where us academics can meet and talk intelligent intellectual conversations

It would be exciting the first few weeks.....😂

This is the one of the reasons. May I ask if a Geordie is Scottish, I have in all my wisdom in life heard that description but in my life of wisdom never bothered to research that

As wandered aimlessly around the streets of Pattaya last month in my 6 week sentence of boredom .... I looked to see some beer bars in those complexes Rompho etc busy whilst others night after night had no one I used to like a "Aussie";bar in the Rompho complex market in Jomtien sadly the owner was apparently shafted by his girlfriend and lost the bar . But please don't get me off topic ,I want to know this question and please be direct . Why does a farang start or buy a beer bar knowing it's higher % to fail ,higher percentage to working hard for the money eg having to be nice to people and talking with often drunk patrons Whats the reason and please I'm not trying to be judgemental , If I was to buy or start say a beer bar in the Rompho complex Georgie's bar , I know it's in higher statistical analyses it's going to fail or break even perhaps So what's the reasons someone would do it ? Could it perhaps be a hobby ?

You buy the two seats BEFORE you fly. Eg , you ring Qantas , you say I would like to purchase two seats in economy. They say it's a "comfort" seat you say yes They issue two boarding passes one in your name and one saying extra in your name

Not everyone wants to RETIRE full time to South East Asia , and I say ASIA, because there are guys on here who are in Philippines and Cambodia and Vietnam etc ,don't be so selfish to talk about Thailand only! But please don't get me off topic ,I forget what I was saying now ,but some guys who are say 65yo may be better to work 6 months of the year in their OWN country and 6 months relaxing in ASIA rather than live a full boring 12 months say in Pattaya getting bored in the View talay condos doing nothing !!!!!! Personally I'm glad to be back in Australia after that 6 weeks imprisonment in the View talay condos Rewind 2 weeks ago and I was forced on a Sunday to sit by that pool listening and watching old farts on Zimmer frames before being locked up in my cell in those noisy rooms There are plenty of part time jobs for mature aged guys

I did meet a guy there who bought two Flybird Condos next to each other Put a door between each unit . And built in wardrobes,new kitchen etc made it look nice Im sure there's guys (who won't admit it) that live in the FLYBIRD

I could never find a quiet place in the Philippines sadly. But... getting back to the topic I avoided going out on Sundays when I was in Pattaya,just too crowded especially around that Central Mall area

Oh Robert ..you need to do the respect and tolerance course

It's great that we can all get together and have stimulating conversation like this . Far better than sitting in any loud bar in Pattaya
