simon43 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 After due and careful thought, I've decided to sell my Bed & Breakfast business at the airport. My long-term lung illness is not getting any better - it will eventually lead to my demise. So I've decided it might be prudent to relax on a beach somewhere with pretty women for a year or much longer I won't detail my sale details here - I've put a classified ad on TV and relevant real estate websites (bahtsold etc). You can PM me as well. Suffice to say, I am one of the lucky few in Phuket whose small business is doing well and expanding, thanks in part to my business reputation and the great cleaning lady that I employ. My business has not been negatively affected by the recent changes in tourist demographics in Phuket. Suggestions of a beach location (anywhere on this planet) are welcome.

LivinginKata Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Best of luck Simon. Thought you ended up in Thailand years ago due to your lung problem/disease and need for a warmer climate (listened to you Phuket News interview) ....

simon43 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Thought you ended up in Thailand years ago due to your lung problem/disease and need for a warmer climate Yes, but as I get older, I am getting more lung problems. Fact of life for me - no surprise there at all. So I feel it would be prudent to stop working and relax, because none of us know what the future holds for us.

Guest Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 If you are selling your business, without a divorce like you usually do, your situation must be serious. I think you have done a good choice. It's always a good decision to play, instead of to work. I hope all the good for you. If you wish to travel, I'd recommend South America. Colombia has Santa Marta and Cartagena. Both beach locations, a bit touristic, but it only adds colour. The ladies are, hermosa. Intelligent, strong minded and once you get the Latina blood warm,.. let's just say it's Salsa time after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBlue72 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 You need a beach in a dry desert clime. I suggest Namibia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 You need a beach in a dry desert clime Actually no. Dryness irritates my lungs. Hot and humid are the best combination. But even with that climate, the illness will slowly debilitate me. So I'm going to stay in this type of climate and just enjoy myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) If you get a load of money go to Portofino...I certainly would...if I could... Is Portofino so nice? I plan a summertrip to Europe with my wife and little daughter, want to see some nice places in Italy Spain, France and Switzerland. Please tell me more about what's so nice in Portofino ... Definitely also plan to visit Sicily to see the orange fields near Catania and visit Palermo's catacombs.

DogNo1 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Songkhla is said to be nice with good beaches. I'll be visiting there in November and will be able to say more after that. Here's wishing you a very enjoyable retirement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schlog Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Don' forget to check your next beach location for a good hospital. It's not so good to die a slowly painfull way on Bora Bora. Thanks to nearby hospitals i came twice back on track so i know to good the game fighting for minutes for survive.

LeungKen Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I opted for the easy life a few years ago now & can thoroughly recommend it Simon, I wish you well with the sale of your business & I trust you find somewhere that suits you for your easy retirement. Everybody else is throwing in their 2 Bobs worth on where to go so I might as well suggest Port Douglas (But it might be a tad expensive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoylake Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Coata Rica was one suggestion that was given to me one time, I've never been, but perhaps others may have and no doubt will confirm or deny. Good Luck by the way Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was thinking of leaving Phuket and wanted to stay in Thailand the only place I would consider is Prachaup Khiri Khan, fantastic beach within Wing 5, no crazy drivers and a very char char way of life, I will be moving there in the future!!

dotpoom Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Really sorry to hear about your illness, seems though that it has caused you to have a major look at your priorities in life and methinks you have made a great decision. Good luck to you and may you have a hell of a ball for the rest of your life. God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
