Popular Post CharlieH Posted November 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2023 A bit hard that one, as what one person finds exciting another may not. I suppose it was the sheer wonderment and attack on the senses the first time I sat at a bar in Soi Nans, on the corner of the Nana Hotel (hooters now?)and just watched what was going on. Never seen or experienced anything quite like it.Not being a drinker or frequenting bars as such, never been to Thailand before, this was way back in 2003. My entire 2 week stay was unbelievable and exciting to me, and why I came back so many times and eventually moved here. That one trip and experience changed the entire course of my life. 😀 5 3 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Muton Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Plenty of exciting things but the question was the most exciting so I uess that would have to be meeting my wife for the first time, not that the intervening years have been unexciting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part was easy for me, and just another day, but a different location. Never really settled anywhere, and moved (followed the money) more than a few times. Best, most exciting thing, is actually living a life, not prepping for retirement. Actually living in a house I like, and not an investment, temp living to be rented out later, when moving on to the next project. A long term relationship, a daughter, new cars, instead of hold me over POS, (some nice & fun...but), along with stress free and not thinking about the future. All pretty exciting and brings a big A$$ smile to my face when thinking about it. Wasn't one to work overseas, so as you say, leaving that comfort zone or 45 years, and actually enjoying living in a country, tropical surfside to top it off on the other side of the planet, is pretty cool. Made easier without any real ties to the old life, or leaving people behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
