    I'm looking for alternatives.....   Buy a head lamp and venture out at night in the rice field to spear some frogs.   That is where all the local hotties are this time of year.

  • Santitham is my favorite area. Lots of different shops, Kad Thannin. Id prefer to hang out with Thais anyway, foreigners not so much. Come to think of it, I’ve only spoken to one foreigner in the last

    Chiang Mai has always had good a nightlife scene spanning over the decades. Nana Plaza, nor Soi Cowboy and other flesh entertainment venues was never the charm for the "Rose of the North" adventu

Thank you.

Family responsibilities (aging mother, younger brother with cancer) forced me to return to the US four years ago.  I have only recently been able to return to Thailand for a six week visit.  For the foreseeable future annual visits to Thailand is all that I can manage.

That’s very common. Family wants to pull together as people age or have problems, or just in general. There is something about proximity that helps the family unit survive. I don’t think they like members leaving the country.

 

My family gets nervous when I return periodically. I get constant repeated questions even though I have lived abroad for years (the same question over and over, like what country are you going to, I need to know the exact country, etc) about travel that seem like genuine interest, but it’s really nervousness.

Welcome back Bruce! I can't answer your questions with particular recommendations, but I can suggest a strategy: use your daylife to make your nightlife. When you go out for meals, massages, or when you chat with the staff of your hotel or condo or whatever, make a point of being especially friendly and outgoing. Tell them a bit about your past life here, and about your life back home today with your family. Mention that the city has changed and that your old friends have moved away. If you strike up a good conversation, ask for advice. And if you like them, invite them to grab a friend or two and come along. There's a good chance you'll find a night out with some new friends. Not necessarily a pickup or hookup, but a way to enjoy the city with some locals without pounding the pavement all alone. Sure you may have to compromise on your wishlist, but the actual experience will surpass the imagined and unfulfilled one. 

 

Having written all that, I see that the original post is a few weeks old already. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
