Does living in Thailand drive you to drink?
Don Giovanni replied to Don Giovanni's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
You talking about @Harrisfan? Yeah, though so. The Don. -
To be honest with you I always hated Songkran. The whole idea of wasting water at a time when it's needed most is absolutely abhorrent to me, it is ignorant beyond belief but that's the Thais for you... Anyway, personally I never took part, but I did get unintentionally soaked a few times when I had to go out to buy some essentials. My reaction was always the same : The middle finger and a nice firm 'F off!...' I am NOT Thai, and couldn't give a hoot about your childish new year celebrations. The Don.

Last gym I went to in Thailand nobody spoke to anyone. Everyone had their headphones on and the 'chicks' were too busy posing for insta photos. Such a superficial society. The Don. -

Rubbish. If i were atop mount Everest- I couldn't go to a pub there, could I? Location has everything to do with it. If you are surrounded by cheap bars and you are prone to alcoholism, then guess what happens.... The Dob. -

Not in Kobe. The Don. -
Hello all, I am currently in recovery for alcoholism in Kobe. I am receiving excellent care from a brilliant team of doctors, couldn't be better.. However, I firmly believe that it was living in Thailand that caused me to become an alcoholic. Just dealing with Thais and their weird ways in general was enough to send anyone for a pint down the pub - add to that the pollution, the traffic, the corruption, the lack of things to do (other than drink), the scamming, cheating women, the heat, the cheapness and easy availability of alcohol itself - my question is, Does living in Thailand drive people to drink? or at least does it have the potential to do so? I have been an alcoholic for almost 30 years now, but I am on the long road to recovery and I am under the best care I could possibly be. It would be impossible to receive the care that I am currently receiving here in Kobe anywhere in Thailand. Compared to Japan, the Thai healthcare system is severely lacking in many areas, especially areas related to addiction and psychiatry. Kobe Don.
