are you really happy with a permanent residence in pattaya?

 

is it somewhere you want to grow old in, or just a vacation property?

Yeah I'm happy being in Pattaya for the foreseeable future, but i realise things can change so I wouldn't spend too much on a condo or house that may end up being just a holiday home or if married end up giving to the wife if get divorced

Same thing anyone does in any location when they are there long-term I would imagine.

I've travelled loads around the world so not bothered too much about travelling but you need to find interests, preferably not sitting in bars every day. There's lots to do here but many only know about the bars, etc. Very good countryside outside of Pattaya, i play golf and cycle in the many group rides, definitely keeps you fit and healthy

Compare it to a place say in NW Wales or Burnley.

There is a beach for one, and a better climate.

A quality of life far more accessible for less. 

It is not a place to be in ill health (is anywhere), without finances.... 

I really only see medical services to go back to in the UK.

     No, it's not 'just a bunch of bars and restaurants'.  But, perhaps that's all you ever go to and don't get out and check out anything else.
