Alcohol

[Sparktrader]

I drink often but not too much. I drink due to boredom.

 

What could i do instead?

[Mac Mickmanus]

You could find a Thai forum and post  asking about  every town in a thread of its own,  asking what the towns like to live in ?

My life was good til 4 years ago. Seemed to run out of ideas.

Take up knitting perhaps to relieve your boredom ?

Google "how to fight boredom in retirement" is a good start to find inspiration or drink more as a result of boredom.

 

I found my semi retirement boring, and created a daily routine I have to do when home 6 days a week. 

 

Buy a plot of land and do something with it, and make home made wine

Cycling.  It’s a great way to build up a thirst, and keeps you out of the pub until later in the day.

1st good idea.

Learn a language, Thai would probably be the best.

I might add that other people will be substantially safer if you cycle to the pub instead of driving there, though they will still feel free to criticise you roundly for it.

I used to rely on "poot thai mi dai", in strong bar girl tones, to make it sound as if I understood a lot more than I was letting on.  I have no idea what it means.

It opens many doors and could save your life. 

What a strange question.

Ah the English fake it spelling. Dealing with tonal language. Depending on inflection and who your talking to, “Do you speak Thai (well)”, or “You speak Thai for craaap”, or “Can you understand a single word I’m saying you stupid bastid?”

When Im back I will start with my wine making chamber and give it a try. 
 

 

This Channel have a basic recipe with links to what you need in the description. Search for other fruits as well you can get. We will try mulberries as well, and also a banana mix.

I'll try and avoid suggestions that have already been made. Sorry if I accidentally repeat somebody else's suggestions;

 

 

Write a book, read a book, learn website or software development, take up surfing, windsurfing, parasailing, paragliding, paramotoer, skydiving, start a small lifestyle business, buy and sell online, smoke weed, learn a craft, study a topic that's always been of interest to you, learn how to play a musical instrument, learn how to cook or improve your cooking skills, build something, design something, become a food critic, become an activist for a cause you strongly believe in, volunteer to help others less fortunate than yourself, find religion, debunk religion, go for a swim, take up snorkeling, take up diving, take up smoking, give up smoking.

 

That's about all I can think of from the top of my head.
