  1. Most of my life I was chasing happiness, and I guess I was happy accomplishing my goals, but not as happy as I am now. Older viser more secured, and hope I can maintain this for years to come. I also believe I require less for my self, and expect less from people these days, do not get as much upset by world news or other people anymore. Maybe most important, I have a wife I feel I can live with for rest of my life, who give me alot more than she knows she do and hope she feels the same way. Mutual respect and chemistry and willing to go the extra mile helps. Most important Im not so afraid to fail anymore as I was when younger, and thats a game changer, at least for me. Being bored is part of a good life, because boredom give inspiration to do something about status Q, as well boredom gives contrasts when you make small changes in the daily life. Its all about the colour you painting with to brighten up your days. Happiness is like a garden, you forget to care for your garden,,,,,,,,,
  2. I still have good 25 - 30 years I hope if I live as long as my average in my family, so, we will see, but I do not think I will be in thailand after 80.
  3. And the quality of the cigarettes? I wouldnt smoke any dirt cheap black marked cigarettes if I smoked.
  4. To bad the virus didnt cure stupidity! Some people think they are smarter and stronger than a virus. Convinced snake oil is a good thing, and trust socalled dr's than officially scientists who work with this globally on daily basis.
  5. Hilton used to have one, but havent been there since 2007. I think it is still there, and aften Binta bab closes, everyone who still up gor party goes the the bars underneath the entrance. Never really understood where it is exactly, due to been so toxicated those two times I have been there. Just remember alot of girls.
  6. They are getting there 😉 One day
  7. The rain season is not so good, and got stung by jellyfish a few times before I gave up my morning swim. The morning walk on the beach is great, and meet regulars and also managed to get a few dates when I was still single with a few morning birds. Hua Hin gets boring after awhile to, but can be a great base not to far from Bangkok, Suan Phueng, Kanchanaburi, and great base to travel south by car. Not to forget the train will give great uppertunities at once it is running as planned.
  8. Extremism goes both ways, and why miss out on good quality food be it fresh vegetables, fruit, berries, pasta,,,, with more like legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds. Of course it has an impact on the environment when we are constantly getting more people on this planet, and also getting taller and fatter, and consuming more calories, which need more land. We are like ants, who use all our available nearby resources and need to find new territories and new resources, go to war, and are also forced to change behaviour and find new solutions. You would be amazed how much common human beings and ants share when it comes to structural, social, defence and war behaviour. Some wonder why we are heading towards a more controlled forced government again?
  9. could it be excessive abuse of alchohol? combined with lack of behavior and social skills. It is a cultural thing, same in Spain, if it is a streetfight in the bar districts, you bet there is a brit involved.
  10. any statistics ? I believe brits are on top of the statistics of stupid crimes often, but more serious crimes I believe other countries is ahead.
  11. there is no other Champagne except Champagne from Champagne region and made from the Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, or Chardonnay grapes grown in this region.
  12. I do not feel like an easy target 😅
  13. I do not feel that way, it is easy to read between the lines. But, if life was perfect for all of us, non of us would spend time here. That's truth. Just been stuck here between essential questions you once had, and might have in future, but to be true, never got a decent answer here from anyone except Ubon Joe and Sheryl I could not find myself other places. So why still hang around? For news? Discuss the wide opinions the different members have on the world views? Discuss with people who never opened one religious book, history book, choose carefully news channels who fit their views? Discuss for hours and days even it will not change anything. No one will change their view because you think you know better. So why continue? Bizarre, really
  14. Finding something interesting to do, and make healthy routines is the most essential for a happy life, and also have somebody to care for, and somebody who care for you! Simple as that, still so difficult for many. Biatching about what is boring and who is happy or not, is just pure supidity. For some, just have a morning coffe, read the news at their table at that coffe shop in peace and quiet, see people passing by, is a good start for many. Why should anyone tell them, that is not good enough? What you find interesting, fun and believe is a good life, can be totally boring and wrong for others. Give people some respect, earn respect back
  15. Silom and around Sukhumvit 22. Price doesnt matter,
  16. Tell me about your three best gyms, hotels and restaurants. Happy to hear and learn. What we ate at Hilton, no idea cant recall, since the food there was ok-. IM Sure I had lasagna, chicken, beef, which I always eat in Bangkok. Sure Pizza also
  17. Pattaya is not so bad, it is the people it attracts 🤔
  18. Last time I had lunch in Thailand, at the Hilton Garden swimmingpool Silom. Should that prove Im happy or having a great life? You are a troll,
  19. 🤓😅 At least I will not go out of history unknown. Still after a few decades nobody remembers you, even you are in lexica. What you mention above, have nothing to do with a great life, it is how you feel inside right now, right here. Cant live on memories, they aint worth deleted if you are not ok now!
  20. Uhm, so my reading skills lacking, might be so,
  21. Define great life? Have everything in life I wanted and needed. I have reached all my goals in life with good margin. Little bit ups and downs as life went on, but the downs it made me stronger in the end, and more greatful for the life I have now. Then someone online here claims Im not happy, go figure
  22. Some truth in that, but I feel there is several different groups here, but those who are constantly posting new threads, and complaining, I do not think have a great life. The key is to stay positive through the bull pie storm, and look at the bright side of it even surrounded with to much negativity, and never give in for deleted opinions or grumpy men. The negativity some spewing out, might feel like a boost for others to, so? I mean, you apprecitate what you have more because of the negativity others feel and experience.
  23. Well, for some that is great, but for others, it is okay to climb the lather and have the experience of starting from zero, for som eit is of great value especially when you later start your own company, and other businesses 😉
