While Bangkok is a vibrant, thrilling city, an aging foreigner who doesn't speak fluent Thai, doesn't understand the culture deeply, and has a toxic personality will find himself profoundly lonely. Local people will treat him with basic polite distance, but they aren't forming deep bonds with an angry senior citizen. Because he has alienated people back home he sits alone in a rented condo or a coffee shop, completely cut off from meaningful human contact. The keyboard is his only bridge to the English-speaking world.
