Well after being here in Thailand for 11 years now i'm calling it a day and moving back to the UK ... Thailand has had it's up and down but i have got to the stage in my life where i'm just fed up of the place these days ...

Things must be bad for you here if you are bailing out for the UK.

Good luck in finding in the UK what you can't find here.

well, good luck . i know this country is not for everyone , and after 11 years you have made your mind up to go back to your country . home is where the heart is.

I imagine there is a lot of people who would want to go back to their own country also.

At least you are coming home to the spring.

Doesn't sounds like you have any family here then it's easy.

I have pretty much found what I been looking for here, so I stay.

Only thing I am missing from Denmark is the food, but we have some Danish restaurants around Pattaya so I get by.

Good luck.

Thanks guys .. Well i've been here since i was 20 and will be 31 in may it comes a time in life where you just get fed up of a place plus all the bs what comes with it i have also lived in Bangkok / Pattaya / Phuket .. just tired these days .. plus i'm not getting any younger ...

you will never be any younger than today, do everything you can and keep going, forget age as we will all be gone sooner or later.

Nothing wrong with bailing and getting out of dodge, that is wha life is all about, but don't think of it as a failure, think of it as the next chapter...

you could always head to Oz, USA, Canada or somewhere else in Europe if you are bummed to give up he adventure.

ps// your too young to sound ike an old washed up waistoird, go somewhere new and don't look back

Thanks again people my experiences here have been up and down like everybody else's these days reason for going home is to make money and also see the world while i'm still young .. Plus running around after girls gets boring plus seating in bars isn't healthy these days and on top of this Thailand has changed these days to what i remember like 6 years ago ...

From a financial perspective, I'd imagine that you haven't saved much if you've been in Thailand since you were 20. You're right--31 is pretty old to be starting over, but it's better late than never. Advice to any newbie wanting to settle in Thailand--have some money before you arrive because it's going to be tough trying to make it here without it.

As for your entire Thailand experience only in BKK/Pattaya/Phuket, you've managed to pick the three places I'd never consider living.

Eleven years in Thailand is NOT going to look good on your CV.

I wish you all the luck in the world on making money, you're going to need it.

Good Luck back in the UK !

Hope the snow has melted by then, as I'm there to see my aged Mum, about 2 weeks later !

Well i had my own business but with problems here in Thailand and overseas the past few years hasn't help much but i'm ready to go back to work in hotel and hospitality industry .. I'm also fine to start again while i'm young could be worse could be divorce at the age of 40 happens a lot these days ..

“Get going. Move forward. Aim High. Plan a takeoff. Don't just sit on the runway and hope someone will come along and push the airplane. It simply won't happen. Change your attitude and gain some altitude. Believe me, you'll love it up here.”

There is a whole word to see... starting over is great fun at any age.. find a real girl and maybe even a new trade.. England has some great music and fun you wound find in thailanxy

PS 10 years in an Asian country looks great on a resume

Why is he going to need it ? perhaps he has a sensible head, drive, determination, if he has, he can make money.

For a chinese take away maybe

It's not time to make a changeJust relax, take it easyYou're still young that's your faultThere's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle downIf you want, you can marryLook at me, I am old but I'm happy
I was once like you are nowAnd I know that it's not easyTo be calm when you've foundSomething going on
And take your time, think a lotThink of everthing you've gotFor you will still be here tomorrowBut your dreams may not

OP, 100% laughing WITH you, not AT you.

It is a wonderful thing to be able to say at the ripe old age of 31.

The world is your oyster, enjoy it and let us know when you get back

So true can't wait to get back to my hometown Manchester

OP.......contrary to TV opinion, there is still serious money to be made in the UK.

You'll walk in to a job in the hotel and hospitality business. Get your feet back below the table, look around and as long as you have an eye for the opportunity and basic business acumen you'll be fine. You have experience of working in the Byzantine world of Thai business and you won't believe how easy it is to do business in the UK by comparison.

Your prime earning years are coming up, fill your boots up and keep an eye on your long term goals. If you miss Thailand, it's only a £500 flight away for a holiday, but I fear the Thailand you love is now just a memory, there's nothing wrong with that, as it's a good memory. I had 5 cracking years in Germany from age 23-28 and I made unbelievable money for a young guy, and I spent most of it, you better believe I've got happy memories of Germany.

Just come back, fill your boots off, and when you're ready look for the next adventure....that's what life is all about.

ps. To all you moaning faced geriatrics out there, leave him alone, you're just jealous that you didn't arrive in Thailand when you were 20.

Yeah so true ?

But your not between the ages of 20 -31 are you ? soon to be 31 on the 27th May 1982

Good video Op.......I've heard many inspirational speeches and quotes in my time but the one thing I've learned is.....too many people just don't try.

You've got to have the bottle to have a go.

It's a simple as that.

No I'm not. But if I were, I'd be back in the states working my ass off and chasing American tail. Thailand is the reward after years of toiling in the rat-race.
