So what is your definition of a "loser" in your opinion...?

Anyone that disagrees with him?

(or chooses a different lifestyle to him?)

A lot of people are concerned about their legacy. I don't see the point. It's extra stress while you're still living.

Hard to define boredom From some of the ideas to avoid it such as Walking around Markets,riding about on a Bike, entering sweaty Gymnasiums, death seems a better option.[emoji481]

It does to some on here. They worship dead people then attack me for not agreeing with them. Strange.

Boredom is a personal problem, not an international problem. 

Gold star answer.

Boredom is entirely up to the individual, assuming they are not in jail and have enough money to do more than hide in a room watching tv. Even just walking is free in that situation.

One can spend as much time on tv or internet as one wants, if one doesn't want to actually "do" anything, but one can be spending time researching a trip, or finding out attractions in the local area.

In the village I kept busy by rewiring the house. I left after that, but had I stayed I'd have got into gardening and cooking.

Photography is an activity that can be done anywhere and isn't expensive. Can spend many happy hours photoshopping them too.

Activity wise, short of skiing and proper dancing, almost anything.

Clubs like expats clubs, or just a barbeer and play connect 4 with the girls for price of a drink.

Could go on and on, but I'll spare you.

I just bought the AIS NetMarathon SIM, 6 months internet access  for 600bht.

I need never be bored again (well 6 months), unlimited social media access even when in the depths of the Thai jungle.

Fixing things is rewarding. Good for mind and body.

If that's all one can do, one can take up photography and that opens up a whole new side to a world people don't normally look at properly.

Even cooking can lead to hours of interesting activity.

Either people can make the effort, or they can sit and cry about their life. They won't change their life though. All they can do is change themselves.

You are right probably the biggest reason-Lack of funds.

You need money here in my opinion to enjoy the place.

Get a motorbike

Play golf

Meet ladies

Massages

Eat decent meals

Go out for some drinks and fun.

etc.

 

It is not this place being boring.  People can be.

There was once an amateur photography aficionado on a different forum that went on about how he'd spend hours waiting for the sun to be just right, and that sort of thing. I was too soft to point out to him that after he was dead no one would care about his photos, and his heirs would probably throw them away.

You need to enjoy outdoor activities - hiking, biking etc.

 

Some retirees have no hobbies and get bored anywhere. Meet a few.

Actually, it's entirely possible to be a very happy chappy in LOS with very little money.

Some of us prefer walking to a m'bike, don't play golf, not interested in paying to meet ladies ( that is talking about non bargirls ) that expect to be wined and dined, don't like Thai massage, eat perfectly well under 200 a meal, going out for drinks doesn't have to be expensive, though "fun" usually is.

Whatever floats our boat, I say.

 

I agree that being bored is up to us.

I doubt he would have found the comment helpful or encouraging, and I doubt it would have added to the enjoyment of his hobby.

Givers.  They gave to the world. I sense you know about losers though. People loved them.  And you?  What do people like you give to the world with your unkind comments about dead, talented people?  We mourn the loss of such people.  You seem to get some mean minded satisfaction.

Sounds like you obviously know about being happy with very little money.

Good for you, enjoy.

Why would anyone want to say such a cruel thing to a friend? We in our family treasure old family pics. But anyway. Perhaps he was enjoying himself, expressing his art and creativity and living in the moment.

I imagine he did it for his own pleasure, not so his heirs would treasure it. Lot of people paint, not everyone is a Rembrandt.
