benalibina Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 For most the answer likely will be. Go on Thaivisa to; -Learn something. -Having a good laugh. Underestimated this 1. Sometimes the humor, especially from Ol Empire lot, is truly enjoyable to read. -Bash whatever can be bashed about the country, culture and its population. -Apologise whatever can be............ of the above -Helping people who need advice or ask about advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikoman Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 You can get bored in Thailand? I like JoeThePoster, find you can not get bored in Thailand, I live the life I've always wanted, have a great wife, family and Thai friends, The wife and I do a lot of fishing together. I find so many things to do, many times do not have as much time in the day to complete them! As we make the bulk of our food, such as, bread, cheese, ham, bacon, porkstrami, summer sausage, chorizo, nixtamal, corn and flour tortillas etc, grow corn, tomatillos, tomatoes, habanero, santa fe chile verde, onions, cilantro, limes etc. made most of my bedroom funiture, raise chickens do not have much time to get bored. Spend time playing badminton with my family, going to the Wat, visit my friends, do a lot of cooking with my family, cooking ( Mexican food) is my hobby, made, UDS (smoker), 55 gallon wood fired drum oven, Mexican horno and an underground BBQ pit. When I do start to miss the bright lights, I tune into TV and reaffirm my decision to forsake that lonely existence Cheers: . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of calories is really going to depend on the size/weight of the person. Most important thing while trying to lose weight is to have a calorie deficit. First you need to calculate your BMR, and then decide on how much of a deficit you want. Just remember that a deficit of 500 calories per day means you should lose 1 pound per week. Anyway, as far as boredom, a strict diet (along with a specific workout routine) is one thing that keeps me busy and thinking throughout the day. Although I only do something like that a couple months out of the year. I don't think I saw anyone mention playing musical instrument but that's a good one. I've been meaning to get back into guitar lately which came to me as a direct outcome of OP's dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
