Mistake 1 - stayed in a hotel for 5 months made no effort to find a place to make a bit more homely for myself. Ate out all of the time.

 

Mistake 2 - Went on holiday mode for 5 months, out every night partying, hanging out with bar flies, heroes and blokes that would shag a frog in mid flight.

 

Mistake 3 - Did not get an independent mode of transport for myself.

 

Mistake 4 - She was a lovely girl, honest she was - spoken and written English and a good sense of humour, own car and house. However she could tell lies on her in breath and in her sleep.    

 

1. I stayed in an hotel for over a year. Brilliant.

2. Retired, got money, why not?

3. Probably saved your life. Not needed most places in LOS.

4. That was your one and only mistake.

Lesson 10..the English speakers are often the biggest con artists. 

Learn to be independent   Rent a codo or house, cook for yourself , watch box sets, read books, do keep fit, carry on partying till you cant, follow a hobby you enjoy, forget your own car or bike if you live in a city, travel off the grid- explore Issan or the South. If a chick speaks english, has her own car and house...RED FLAG.

Indeed. Use it or lose it. I learned that the hard way.

If you are only interested in shagging and drinking Thailand eventually becomes very boring, and ultimately a depressing place to be long term

I never found that to be the case although I'm only in my 70's and have only lived in Thailand for 20 years.  Maybe later it will hit.

Or have gone to college and work for an international company like Dow or Samsung.

I just can't imagine how shagging could ever become boring, but I guess that's down to the shagger, or perhaps choosing the wrong shagee.

I can't imagine anything better than waking up to the sound of waves on a sandy shore, and having a long leisurely shag with a lovely gurl that enjoyed shagging. Bliss.
