Popular Post Mike_Hunt Posted May 31 Popular Post Share Posted May 31 Pattaya is like Las Vegas; it's only suitable for a few days. I wonder about the excessive number of old guys sitting at bars by themselves at noon sipping on beer. That seems boring. But to each their own. No matter where one lives in retirement, it's going to be boring unless one has hobbies and fun interests. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"*I want to retire to a safe environment where J can walk safely at night *I want to be close to public transport * I want to be close to food markets , shopping places * House or Condo ,although I prefer a house with a small garden *I like going to museums ,bookshops , secondhand shops , cafes but not Starbucks *I like the gym and have to be close to one Do people go to musuems weekly? I don't think so. Cross that off the list. So you have gym, cafe and book stores. Any of the largest 5 cities would have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingAPorn Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 On 5/29/2024 at 10:53 AM, georgegeorgia said: I look forward to going back to a routine These old drunken old expats don't have routines I watch one old guy every morning sit at that mini mart opposite Arcadia resort with the other drinks he then waddles up to his room in a stupor Please I don't want to end up with NO routine Waking up to do the same drinking all day I honestly believe these guys were NOT alcoholicd before they lived in Pattaya They are bored with their life's ,no routine,nothing to do etc Usually these blokes try to find in Thailand, all the things they did not find or get back home. Some end up drunks and it is sad. Others even when in a couple, can tend to end up as mouthy braggers, boasting all over, just because they feel a bit wealthy due to the exchange rate difference. The perfect types to avoid IMHO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea lol but anyone who claims to be bored in Pattaya has a screw loose I cannot imagine another place in the world where everything is on tap starting (not with the obvious) but sun sea swmming cheap accomodation whether hotels or condos golf shopping Gyms galore malls galore and every other type of activity thats humanly possible and yet I can stilll end with the obvious one as well ! .....and if you dont indulge too much all the rest above are dirt cheap in comparison How can anyone young or old be bored ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
