Retired American Looking For Friends

[SueLedet]

Hi, I'm a retired American woman living in Phuket since October and going crazy with no friends. Looking for someone to have over for coffee, shop with and meet for lunch occasional gossip. Sue

Hi Sue,

I don't really know how to direct you as I am a working stiff that spends his weekends on the beach. I'd say, look at the Phuket Gazette Events Calendar, and go to something that interests you. There you will then at least meet people with similar interests.

Best of luck to you, sorry there are not a lot of responses.

Hi Sue,

It's my second year in Phuket and I still don't have very many good friends... lot's of acquaintances, but not many firm. From my experience it's very easy to meet people, but not always the right types!

I'm over the other side of the island from you, Surin/Cherngtalay way. Pretty busy through the week days, but have some free time evenings and at the weekends. If you fancy meeting up for lunch or a beer some time give me a shout, send me a PM or whatever and we'll sort something out. I do have other interests as well as surfing, so don't worry I won't just be spinning yarns about the time I was out at 30ft Waimea Bay, wiped out and got drilled on the inside!

Take it easy, cheers.

The retired folks I know volunteer at various charities anywhere from a few hours to several days a week. Even if you are wheelchair bound, those charities usually welcome responsible reliable people. You might find some wonderful folks at these social service organizations.

Huggy,

Don't be sorry, I've gotten quite a lot of Private Messages.

I try to buy a Phuket Gazette whenever I'm in Central Mall and I love it but thanks for that tidbit.

i lived on phuket for a couple of years and did find it hard to make friends. i did, however, meet some of the thai visa ladies, and they are a good bunch. keep your eye on the 'pissup' thread (which normally isnt a drunken mess - the ones ive been to have been quite civilised) as you will have the chance to meet many people there.

i think that there is a bunch of ladies who meet up at starbucks one morning a week but dont remember what day that is.

good luck!

There are a bunch of farang ladies that go to lunch at the drunken monkey restaurant {wiset rd near Rawai] every tuesday, good bunch of girls and they have a laugh. PM me if you are interested.

[donna]

oh i love the drunken monkey. great food and the boys are great hosts too!

[stuandchris]

Very true Donna, the girls have a good laugh with them.

If you're the least bit interested in computers, come on by for one of the PC Group Therapy meetings, Sunday mornings from 10:00 to noon. I know it sounds geeky, but there are lots of interesting people, all nationalities, hugely diverse interests.

Next three Sundays (including today, as I type this) are in Chalong. Details in the Phuket Gazette Events Calendar.

Of course I'm reading this at almost 6:00pm on Sunday but I love computers and even taught classes at a real estate school a long while back. I will make the next meeting and thanks.....

Sue, just get out and about there are many Americans and other English speakers (Aussie, Brit, etc) in your area. Beware and be safe due recent events in your area.
