How you spend your day in Chiangmai?


Recommended Posts

You can still do all the things you listed.

When I came to Thailand it took me sometime for my body to adapt to the heat (about a month). I do Muay Thai and it's all outdoors here in the heat! Same with the gym, which both took me about a month for my body to adapt. I was about to pass out all the time during the first month but not once since.

Just let your body adapt to it! You have Thai labours out in the sun all day with jeans and a shirt for a reason!

I live I Phuket. I am 73. I get up at 0:600 - 06:15. Spend a couple hours on the computer taking care of correspondence, reading the news feeds. Around 08;30 or 09:00 I exercise in my home gym for an hour or so. Weight training and elliptical trainer. The rest of the day is sometimes spent on my hobbies, which are wood working ,restoring my old car. I maintain the house, the garden, read a lot, ride the bicycle several times a week on 20 -30 km rides. Take the wife shopping when necessary, have a few good friends that I socialize with. I have an avocation that is stimulating and beneficial that takes up several hours a week. Even so I still get a bit bored at times especially this hot and humid time of the year which precludes some out door activities. I don't go to the bars as I don't drink and most people there are just whingeing and bitching about how terrible Thailand and the Thais are anyway. My advice is to get a hobby or two to keep you occupied and your mind sharp. Fishing, a bit of travelling to see new horizons. The wife and I have explored most of southern Thailand by car. Research shows that as we get older we can be susceptible to depression. Physical and mental activity guards against that. In the past I have had a change of lifestyle and scenery about every seven to ten years. Twelve years in Phuket means I am overdue for a change. It will be a move to the wife's farm near Khon Khean in a year or so. Probably to live out my last years. Stay active and fit.

I live in Hatyai, I am 70. During the week, I get up at 1-3pm. Spend a couple of hours on the internet drinking black coffee and tomato juice. Around 4, I have breakfast, usually papaya with lime with toast, sometimes with sausage, potatoes, eggs and croissant. I ride the exercise bike for two hours and around seven, I go downtown. I hit the bars, have a few cocktails, sweet talk some ladies and have dinner around 9. I meet a few buddies and go to a club with music, have a few drinks until 2-3. Around 3, I meet friends and have noodle soup, hit an after-hours club, have a few more cocktails and get home around 6. On Fridays, I usually play through from the night before and meet my brothers for an early morning brunch and a 400km two day poker run on our bikes. Sunday afternoon, I make sure I get home around 7 for a great dinner with friends prepared by my wife. We go out for a howl, take in a movie, or attend a party with friends and return home at 2 or so. I simply have no time for hobbies--maybe I'll wait until I am 73.

If I were you I wouldn't wait. According to the life expectancy charts and questionaires you aren't going to live to see 73. Living is Hat Yai is no help.

Ah, yes, but you are not me. According to statistics, I should have never lived to 25, but I prefer to do as I choose and not as others would--on my deathbed, I would much rather look back at my life and remember the crazy things I did than to look back and wish I had done some of them. No problems with Hatyai, nothing like the sound of incoming and the smell of cordite in the morning.

Not every one centers there life around bar hopping.

I know the feeling but I no longer do it. There is to much

more in life than a bar. I will on occasion hit one for

a good meal but there is nothing else there that attracts me.

My buddies don't need a bar to associate with me.

Mind you there was a day or two when it did help. LOL

Don't knock Plane Spotting... I met two British guys at Don Muang last year, sitting surrounded with gigantic binoculars, laptop computers, clipboards crammed with flight schedules, etc.,etc, plus thermos bottles of coffee and bags of sandwiches, sitting and logging every flight that landed and took off, confirming the schedules on the clipboards. They would confer about each plane, enter information onto other pages and on their laptops. I assumed they were some sort of official observers, but when I asked, they said it was just a hobby with them. They were planning to spend the day at Don Muang, then the next day at the new airport before heading off for another Thai airport somewhere else. The planned to watch five different airports around the Kingdom, before heading down to Malaysia and Singapore. They were on a month-long Asian holiday doing everyday what they could only do on the weekends back in the UK because of work commitments. I'm not sure I understand the attraction of Plane Spotting, but there is no doubt these two were into it 110%!

I asked them about that, as I was a bit surprised too. They said they often do get checked out by security but have never had a problem once they explain what they are doing. Apparently 'almost' all flight information is considered Public Domain Information, and hobbyists are able to go to web sites that list every flight from just about every airport. Those lists are what they had on their clipboards. However, sometimes they were able to spot take-offs and landings from planes that were NOT on the public lists, and those were the 'gems' than made their hobby interesting to them.

Fire up some porn and whack one out.

There's always one pervert.

Incredible. You can get banned for complaining about a pizza but this perv's posting remains

Pervert :

"a person whose sexual behavior is considered not normal or acceptable"

Statistics :

"About 64-68% of young adult men and about 18% of women use porn at least once every week"

and

1. 95% of men admit to masturbating, compared to 89% of women. For married individuals, the rate is 70% for both men and women.

2. Fewer married christian men (61%) admit to masturbating. Only 13% consider the practice "normal".

3. Frequency: more than 40% of males and 20% of females admit to masturbating daily. 55% of men and 48% of women masturbate at least once a week.

4. 53% of women use vibrators when masturbating. Reportedly, 17% of men have also used vibrators for solo masturbation.

5. Masturbation may be good for you. Studies suggest it may reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men. For women, cervical infections might also be reduced with frequent personal stimulation.

6. More than 41% of people have accidentally been caught masturbating. 22.6% of women have intentionally been walked in on.

7. 4 out of 10 women prefer masturbation over sex.

8. Male kangaroos have been known to give themselves blow jobs. Female porcupines have been witnessed using wooden sticks as dildoes.

9. At this very moment, 797,151 Americans are masturbating. That's more people than the entire population of Alaska.

10. Math for final figure: number of masturbatory aged people in US: 240,052,886; average session: 12 minutes; average frequency: 62.5 percent masturbate daily; therefore 153,053,044 masturbate a day; equals 7.5 minutes of everyone’s day (or 450 seconds a day); therefore, 797,151 Americans are masturbating right now.

http://wikipicks.blogspot.com/2011/07/masturbation-facts-and-statistics.html

As the vast majority of the world's population enjoy looking at porn and spanking away, it can hardly be regarded as a perversion, more like part of normal human behaviour. There are also considerable health benefits, it is risk free, it relieves boredom, stress, is relaxing and doesn't cost anything. thumbsup.gif

Now what was wrong with that pizza?

I'm not doubting your statistics , I'm doubting your sanity and morals responding to a civilised question about how one spends their day's in Chiang Mai

So, masturbation is a very popular pastime in Chiang Mai? Good to know that there is a whole lotta masturbation goin' on.

My neighbor in Chiang Mai used to complain about coming home and masturbating.

Finally towards the end of his stay (3-months I believe that time) he started going out and having a beer.

He did find a girlfriend towards the very end. He also started drinking heavily regularly and coming home sloshed often tripping on the path by my house and talking to himself.

He was very hairy and had a 'nice rug' (another term for thick back hair) and I would tell him that masturbating grew hair on you back...

I was making an arguably reasonable and sane response to the OP. I was not suggesting that he spends the whole day slapping the salami, just a quickie to relieve the boredom of the coffee drinking.

Well, after living here for a couple of years now I'm sitting just this morning on my terrace with a cup of self roasted coffee and got a bit bored. What can I do today?

As my right hand has always been willing and never refused service, I am not forcing anybody else to attend to the issue, it affects only me. I expect it is the same for everybody else. Only the draconian moral enforcers from the ignorant Victorian days would insist there is a problem.

From Wiki

Circumcision did not become a common medical procedure in the Anglophone world until the late 19th century.[84] At that time, British and American doctors began recommending it primarily as a deterrent to masturbation.[84][85] Prior to the 20th century, masturbation was believed to be the cause of a wide range of physical and mental illnesses including epilepsy, paralysis, impotence, gonorrhea, tuberculosis, feeblemindedness, and insanity

I am still intrigued how someone can get banned for mentioning a pizza.

OH!

You have never had a solo knuckle-shuffle ever?

It reduces the risk of prostate cancer, I am even wondering if knocking out one per day is enough.
