Why do you feel the need to be in Pattaya?

You've tried it time and again and every time you end up miserable.

What is is about Pattaya that makes you want to be there? If you can answer that, you're half way to working out why you are so unhappy.

This probably another troll post. Anyway, a couple of things.

If you're coming to pattaya for a place to chill - you shouldn't arrive in the middle of the rainy season (some would say it's not a place to chill at all - and I'd agree with that).

High season is best weather but also the busiest. The place is geared 365 days a year for cheap booze, cheap sex and partying.

Central Bangkok is probably the place for you - Chiang Mai which you seem to like I recall. Hua Hin is okay - again don't think I could last 4 weeks there either.

If he hasn't worked out the cause of unhappiness after all this time, he never will.

If it wasn't more troll posting you could think seriously about why some people are malcontents.

So, what is so exciting back in Australia?

If your 'story' is true, you might be entering the existential boredom phase of old age, it ocurrs just prior to topping yourself.

No amount of new hobbies, friendship groups, travel, alcohol can combat it......you're doomed laddie, doomed.

I need to get back to a routine

It's getting boring

The doctor was very nice but says because I never suffered depression before I should try staying off alcohol and go back to the gym and next time no 4 weeks

What is wrong with me ?

Why can't I live here full time and be happy ?

I tried....but it got boring , sad ,tedious and lonely

I don't have family or friends here

My friends died earlier this year he owned Canterbury tales bookshop

"What is wrong with me ?

Your problem is that wherever you go you bring yourself along.

And you are "boring , sad ,tedious and lonely".

It's an inside job.

Like the guy said "the mind is its own place and can make a hell of heaven or a heaven of hell".

The quote's meaning (from Google AI so you know it's right)

"Meaning

Your thoughts and inner attitude shape your reality. Your mind can turn a wonderful situation into a miserable experience, or find peace inside a terrible one."

Others have said a person is just about as happy as they make up there mind to be.

Of course you would have to give up all the drama, so there's that.

There are other places in Thailand besides Pattaya, especially the islands. There is also Vietnam. Changing hotels in the same city isn't going to change anything. Visit the Hills Tribes in Chiang Mai, Kanchanaburi's war history.

He always goes to Pattaya, and makes thread after thread how miserable it is there. He is stuck there, and seriously if he goes another place what would change ?

I went to Pattaya once with plans to stay a week. After two days I got out of there and never returned.

Heavy alcohol use definitely exacerbates depression. It's a depressant. Add that to an existing depression makes it worse. Self medication is a temporary fix but the rebound comes.

I had a friend who was fond of saying "There is no problem so big that can't be fixed by alcohol - temporarily."

And so many of us jump in discussing, agreeing, complaining, etc. Pure gold to the AN overlords.

I must admit I usually don't enter into his (assuming he IS male) posts. As I mentioned earlier, I question the authenticity/sincerity of said posts, but they often generate interesting discussions. And is it really that much different than the BS'ing we're all guilty of, sitting at the pub, from time to time?

I had the exact same experience at Sihanoukville, Cambodia. I went there for 8 days cuz a friend of mine managed the dive shop. Three days in and I was on a plane back to LOS. I would have left sooner but flying 24 hours after diving is a no no. There was absolutely NOTHING interesting. Restaurants were dismal, the dive site was dead sand, even the local beer was yuck.

My plan was to go to the gym everyday etc

Not sure what this depression is caused by, it's like a black period , it's hard to explain

Like even no sun out shining

I changed hotels but didn't really help

The doctor said to me this morning that he sees many farangs who move here and turn to alcohol

It seems I am ....I feel weak

The first 2 weeks were ok but now it's just walking

My energy had been zapped ,

Vitamin D deficiency.

Troll and flame posts removed.

I haven't been to Pattaya in a while.

I would like to visit again.

I always had fun there.

I have been in Pattaya now 4 weeks

It's becoming terrible, I'm sinking into a deep depression

I have changed hotel and Airbnb 7 times because I don't feel well

I tried my 4 weeks trial of living here I become bored

I started to go to a bar this last week where I drink alcohol,

The bar owner is very friendly, I went back and drank again , I promised myself I would go to the gym I didn't and went back again to drink

I felt so bad this morning

Pattaya is not for me

I went to see the doctor this morning, he told me he believes in bored as I have no routine , he

Isuggested I go back to Australia and only come here for maximum 2 weeks next time

He sees many farangs like myself

And he told me to stop drinking alcohol but I find the bar owner so friendly towards me

I will go back to Australia tommrrw

I don't think I could live here

It's boring ..I started to go to the bar to drink , I never do in Australia

I feel like a dark hole over me

no need to start working but search for a hobby (photography, or try out some water sports (Najomtien is great for it). There is so much you can do...

He claimed to be a statistician in previous threads collecting data on many topics he felt neccesary in Pattaya.

That hobby seems to have died, maybe he is depressed cause the monkey he befriended no longer wants to sodomise him.

Agree. There's lots to do in Pattaya but most of it is much more fun with a companion along for the ride. For example, my spouse and I have been snorkeling a number of times and it was very enjoyable but I wouldn't want to do it by myself. Ditto for Nong Nooch Gardens, the aquarium, Sanctuary of Truth, Art in Paradise, etc.

Existential boredom?? No escaping that I'm afraid.

If I had the 4 weeks again I would do it differently

I booked a. Airbnb for 4 weeks, same walls everyday

I had to get out and go to a hotel for awhile

I went to the bar with the friendly owner but alcohol is not my thing

Do you think it's the alcohol I drank over the last week making me feel like this ?

I haven't been eating good either

Thailand's not for everyone Pattaya even less so, but it sounds to me like you being by yourself is your biggest problem, best you go back to Australia where things are familiar and you know your way around, before you end up like all the poor souls 'falling' off their balconies.

Are you chained there?

Take your suitcase and walk out when you're sober ❗

With all those hunky American sailors in town, the Op will never be able to come back straight out of Pattaya. 🫢

Georgegeorgia, what you are experiencing is a spiritual conflict in your soul. 2 Peter 2:7 says that God rescued righteous Lot who lived right and was greatly troubled by the terrible way those wicked people were living in Sodom. He was a good man, and day after day he suffered because of the evil things he saw and heard. So the Lord rescued him.

In Patts you are living in the midst of pure sin and debauchery. The Bible says that if one even looks upon sin, his conscience will become defiled.

Run as fast as you can and get back to Australia and stay away from that cesspool called Pattaya.

Find a couple of nasty looking L B's and a monkey.

That should liven you up
