Well it isn't.

 

It's a fictional scenario.

 

I am a very "creative"   SAD guy.

The guy who fouled up in the west, fouled up in Thailand and is currently holed up in Cambodia addicted to alcohol and prescription drugs.

Oh yes, you mentioned the dr gave you drugs if i recall right.

How is Cambodia?

 

[Woke to Sounds of Horking]

The main attraction of Cambodia vs Thailand is the easy hassle free visa options, esp if you're 55 and older.

 

One downside, having spent nearly 2 mos there, is the near constant air pollution and rubbish everywere at the roadside.

 

Worrying is the surging CCP influence/investment.

 

It is not necessarily a cheaper option overall; however, beer is cheaper than in Thailand.

 

Some expats might be deluding themselves thinking that Cambo is a much cheaper place to live than Thailand?

If someones decision is based on beer prices, then I would say they have a serious problem.

 

I should had choosed Spain, based on my appetite for their wine availability and meat sausages fresh vegetables and seafood choices

Well, well, well, Bong-Boy-Bob, now turned armchair novelist, spinning Hemingway yarns like a Soi 6 bar girl with a sick buffalo and a borrowed baby. What a tragic fictional tale we have here, yet so detailed, so heartfelt, almost as if you’ve drawn inspiration from personal experience. But naah, couldn’t be, right? You’re a high-flying PR procurer, a man of wealth, fine taste, and endless mistresses, but not some washed-up, hard-done-by bloke clutching a beer bottle with a sponge-foam condom on it and a crumpled photo in his pocket of his favorite ladyboy gone astray, lamenting about his wasted years in the hub of short-times.

 

Still, let’s unpack this little masterpiece, shall we? Jim, you say? Poor sod failed his O-Levels, fled to Thailand, faked a degree, became an underpaid teacher, drank himself into oblivion, picked up an alcoholic bar girl (shocking, truly), got shaken down by her deadbeat brother, and finally ran off to Cambodia to die in a shoebox flat surrounded by regret and cheap whiskey.

 

A tragic tale indeed. But tell me, Beastly Bob, is this a cautionary tale, or are you testing the waters for your next exit strategy? Because we’ve seen this pattern before, haven’t we? First, you’re Bob Smith, the big London baller flush with US$800K cash in a safe. Then you’re the humble Colin Neville from Dorset, starting fresh as a self-proclaimed bar aficionado. Now, you’re Elvis from Tupelo, philosophizing about the “end of the line” like a washed-up lounge lizard with a sack of broken dreams.

 

But really, mate, if anyone should be worried about their final destination, it’s the bloke who’s gone through more identities than a Nigerian prince on Tinder. If Thailand truly is beneath you now, and Cambodia is the last stop, we can only wonder where you’ll flop to next. South America? Eastern Europe? A tent outside Heathrow begging for change with a sign that says, “Once had a PR in Thailand, now only got PTSD and an STD”?

 

Either way, keep the fanciful fictional fluff flowing, mate. It’s always a pleasure reading your unintentional autobiographies.

Great job, nice to know there are some Hemingway types on this forum. Keep it coming, we need more prose, we need more creativity, and you seem to bring a lot to the table. Thanks for that.

I think your name is Jim.... it sure ain't Elvis Presley.

 

As for Cambodia, I found the people were friendly. However, there are other places to go.

Well, since his baby left him, he had no place to dwell.  Viva Siem Reap!
