How would be Perth for 3 weeks, to get my prostate embolised? I looked at hotels, they cost a fortune... Don't listen to all that BS I migrated to Perth 40 years ago, never regret it. My Thai wife has been here for 22 years. We only fly to Thailand twice a year, and my wife earns about 80,000 AUD per year. I have a coffee machine, and 1 cup costs me less than 1AUD. Yes, hotels are expensive, but I don't live in a hotel. You just can not compare prices.

September 29, 2025Sep 29 Popular Post Another thing I liked about Vietnam is it appeared to be devoid of the stupid sexpat stuff you see in Thailand. It exists, you just don't see it much in daily life due to the stigma. You need to grow up a little as a man to make it in Vietnam. If you are used to the Soi Bukhaou or whatever type scene in Pattaya where you can act like a goofball you probably won't like Vietnam.

Everyone should go to Vietnam. Tell your friends.

I probably would have stayed there if they had a long term visa. I did not like Hcmc as much, but knew people who liked it. Cooler in Hanoi. I did not take to the oceanside towns as much. Da Lat is worth a visit if you can get up there. City of eternal spring. The women were nice, a sea of gorgeous women everywhere. Went to Hanoi in March with my girlfriend. Definitely will return to Vietnam as I liked the ambience and food, plus need to see a lot more of the country next time.
September 30, 2025Sep 30 Popular Post I have been here for 14 years, and I agree with the OP. I too, will never go to Pattaya again. To be honest, I have no sympathy with guys moaning about how much they hate Thailand when what they actually mean is, that they hate Pattaya.

September 30, 2025Sep 30 Thailand, and Pattaya, is certainly not for everyone. But does Vietnam give Retirement visas/extensions?
