I'm not much of a bar-star... you see...the problem is, I bought a 4 pack of leo, and I am 75% done the first can and I feel buzzed and sick and heartburn.... now you know why i'm not always in pubs? when i said "have a beer" i meant 1 beer ahahah (for me atleast)

yah i can go crazy myself but its more fun with friends

I assume you are retired. Since you do not drink -well you need to be with people who do not hang in bars all day. (that's the easy way out anyway)

Swim everyday.

Find and read good books.

Take up a personal project-writing for example.

Start a small business with your wife or a member of your wife's family.

Go to the gym regularly-good for moods and endorphin production.

Must be ex-pat organizations around besides bars.

Join a bowling league.

Buy a bigger bike and go on group cross country trips.

Learn Thai cooking and cook meals for your wife-I am sure she is tired when she comes home-then going to the market alone will be fun.

HAVE A BABY !!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like your mate "WORK'S ALOT'!!!!!!! Most of what you want to do is just normal stuff with wife, G/F, partner. Ask your wife to work less (I know difficult)

I will soon be in the same situation as next year-so you got me thinking.

Anyway good luck. I will start making my list.

"I Know I Know, Everyone Says Bkk Is Borring But..."

They do? This amazes me. You have to work pretty Goddamn hard to stay bored in Bangkok.

And I dont think Bangkok is boring at all^^

I don't know your beliefs or interests in this, but another alternative to the bar scene is Buddhism. I was lucky to find a group of Thai people who are more than happy to include me in their trips to different temples for meditation and the like. This opens you up to meeting monks who are happy to discuss Buddhism with you, which means you are meeting more people and learning something new.

Different strokes for different folks, but when I have free time, it's a nice way to spend a day.

PM me if you are up for a game of squash.

[mxyz250newb]

Well personally I don't think BKK is borring but for whatever reason I think the city is just so grand that people get a bit overwhelmed with it.

I'm actually not retired, about 1/3 the way there though, but I am just on an extended vacation. I busted my butt working 3, yes 3 jobs for the last year to save up some dough.

Last year I visited another city's temple, and it was marvelous and I enjoyed myself alot more than the temples in bkk who just seemed a bit money hungry lol

I'm down for a game of squash, I just googled it because I was thinking it was the game with the plastic paddles and wiffle (waffle?) ball, boy was I wrong! Anyways if you don't mind teaching a total squash newb, I'd love to join ya.

[mxyz250newb]

i just read a thread about a guy who was looking for a wingman, wow everyone gave him some crap lol, thread got locked

anyways anyone else out there do any sporting activities? theres paintball / bb gun fields about 3 minutes from my apt on an army base, any takers?

i went there last year it was loads of fun

[mxyz250newb]

seems to be about 10,000 baht to go for a tandem jump, funny thing is last time I was in vegas I remember a tandem jump being around the equivilent of 8000 baht, and everyone says thailands the cheapest place to skydive??? lol 

hmm that paramotor sure seems like a lot more fun than 30 seconds of freefall, hmm wonder what prices are like

this really is different. i know lots who say they here 4 buddha, but its all lipps service!

[carmine]

This topic winds me up. What a stupid thing to say "I know i know everyone says Bangkok is boring". It's not boring and in all the years i've lived here i've never heard anyone say that.

Best to start mixing in different circles
