Just men making up for lost time in the sexual deserts they come from. no such thing as a sex addict. the problem is old GRUMPY men gathered for drinks at 9 am and complaining about everything in thailand. at the beach, no less. which many places in the world don't even have a beach. the problem isnt the alcohol, it's being in the same (exotic) place so long you dont appreciate it anymore. sitting there complaining at 9 am over beers.

Why would you move to Pattaya if you don’t like people sitting in bars all day? There’s not much else to do in Pattaya. You can take breaks doing other things, but the main draw is bars. If you like beaches try Phuket or Bangkok for shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FinickyOne Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I don't drink - - especially beer... but it would not have even made me blink...

Popular Post MrJ2U Posted December 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2022 Work hard your whole life and live with a cow in Western countries. I can't blame them enjoying themselves surrounded by gorgeous Thai women. Get a coffee if you don't want a beer. Anything beats the Western ways in my opinion. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Well you will find all sorts of people in Pattaya. When I lived there I tried to stay away from alcohol until dinnertime. And only a couple of beers at most. If you happen to be alcoholic and can't control yourself, Pattaya is tha last place you would visit. But if people are happy and the wife / girls are happy do as you like, you only have one life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't "sit in my room complaining" I'm not really a complainer. I did used to go out for a walk every day, that's an hour or 2 (out of 16). Cookery courses, I don't like cooking, much Day trip tp Bangkok? When I lived there for about 20 years?!???? (Sighseeing? Already seen enough temples to last 5 lifetimes????). Girl watching? Been doing that in Thailand since 1985????? Martial arts when suffering from quite severe arthritis (since I was a kid). Volunteer at an orphanage, and have people putting it around that you're a pedophile????Although I have thought about doing volutary work generally,. I now live and work back in the UK. You could try sleeping with a different girl every night. It would get real expensive though and you would likely end up with all sorts of diseases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Monday Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Let them be. I could not answer where to drink in Chiang Mai in the morning these days. The last to fall may have been "Bier Stube" years ago. A mix of breakfast beer geezers and remnants from the not so underground clubs. Some years ago and not even in business anymore.

EVENKEEL Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Does it really matter what time of day you drink as long as you don't overdue it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
