I am getting the same impression was about to suggest these bored in the west people have a day at the races, go to the theatre, a couple of airshows, see a couple of bands, all possible and enjoyable ????

Two good posts above W88 and LL Experiences and challenges, yep good points to alleviate boredom The every day life in Issan for those of us who navigate the farming smallholding path, indeed throws up daily challenges, none moreso than the current wet spell ???? Familiarity, yes annual/daily tasks which bring their own challenges, successfully growing rice, raising cattle each demanding attention to bring to fruition Throw in the ups and downs of Thai family life Never boring ????

Kept the boredom away in the west which it would appear others struggle to avoid

Now you are just being silly, please carry on without me ????

And those that did?

It's raining, a little reminiscing in response to Britmans wondering Your comment is one of the reasons I seldom mention my experiences to others or on forums Happy to be thought of as a poor pensioner trapped in Isaan who has led a mundane 9-5 existence in a job of no consequence ????

I chose carefully, even the not so pretty women in the film industry were up themselves, I didn't bother, besides I didn't like dating work colleagues. As far as my looks go I could pull good looking women 10 years younger than me indeed my first wife, often likened to Rachael Hunter but not as tall was 13 years younger than me

I must have been lucky, in my younger years is all I can say, sure there were more options in Thailand than the west when I hit 50, but prior to that, women in the Uk I enjoyed relationships with were hot and ready most of the time not your homemaker type perhaps as out working, but sexy nevertheless
