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.
