Have you changed… or has Thailand?

Featured Replies

When I first came here, it was all pretty predictable.

Nights out, bars, always somewhere busy. That was the routine.

These days it’s different. Quieter, less going out. I still drop in now and then, but it’s not the center of things anymore.

The scene itself feels different too.Fewer girls around, or just moved online?

Prices definitely not what they used to be Thailand not quite the “cheap” place it once was

So sometimes I wonder…

has the place changed, or have I?

Do you still live the same way… or maybe moved on from it?

And do you miss how it used to be? I know I do, but then getting older sucks too!

Sounds like you have changed.

Happens when one get older.

Neither, I'm the same, as is TH. TH upped their infrastructure, but the rest is the same.

I've certainly changed in the 22 years I've been living in Pattaya. I was becoming less of a barfly anyway, but Covid and the loss of two of my best friends really seems to have made me lose interest in going out. Nowadays I prefer to just stay at home in the late afternoon with a cold beer, maybe pruning the flowers or just reading a book or magazine, or listening to music. It's not been a deliberate change on my part, it just sort of happened. Perhaps even more oddly, all my closest friends here now are Thai, even though I'm still friendly with quite a few farangs. At this rate, if I last another decade I'll probably have become a monk and joined a monastery, lol.
