Isaan hard to like after 3 months

Hilarious some of the posters here who are trying to convince us that they're here for the culture and temples.

No we are here for a good life,!

 

Obviously meaning different for different people. For some it means lady entertainment, for others a healthy life countryside with fresh food and something to wake up to every morning.

Nice drives here and there but so much of the same same. 

I lived in Phetchabun many years ago, it was great for a few months then it became static, same old same old. 

 

Moved back to Pattaya, been here for 20 years. My house is beach side of Sukhumvit, I ride up and down Pattaya and Jomtien beach most days, always changing, the many festivals and beach activities, DYNAMIC ????

Arrived Thailand 2004 to use as a base whilst working in Asia and avoiding UK tax, slowly but surely started to like the place and an Issan GF from Si Khio 2007-09 had me out there in the sticks.  2012 aged 57 decided to plan retirement, bought some land via a company and built a house near 2 other farangs, they are all gone now and I am the only farang in the area.  Retired 2015 and met a woman who is now my wife.

I eat 99% only Thai food, only speak Thai to my 9 dogs, know enough Thai to make police smile when stopped on my bikes for speeding.  There are no bars nearby and the area is all quiet by 8pm.  Have many books to read and a garden/fishpond to tend to.

 

Positively love the place for everything I need is around me, never been tired of Issan.
