slerickson Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Either I go for. 2 hour walk or an hour bike ride each day and sometimes a half hour or so of exercise. Plan next out of country trip and take trip. Visit areas of interest in Thailand in the mountains or islands. Cooking some, eating, video game, social media, shopping, work on house, water yard, drive here and there. Pretty much the same stuff I'd be doing back in the states but without having to watch my spending so much and without watching out for cops looking to nail me with a big fine for whatever excuse they can come up with.

stoneyboy Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 What do retired folks do? That means the normal folks who don't drink, smoke or chase girls and are happy living alone. They dedicate their time to Thai visa telling others what fabulous lives they lead in this paradise of a country. Often the reality is in stark contrast to what they post,bemoaning the visa process,dangerous roads and a disdain for older men having sex with young girls. Incidentally some play Bridge and eat 35 baht noodle soup while others live in sprawling homes in the arse end of nowhere,curtain twitchers are also known to reside here. Others prefer to take on the the role of immigration officers going over the same mundane questions in and out like its a badge of honour knowing Thai visa immigration rules,I've been known to get sucked into that also through sheer boredom. Some like to discuss the cheapest means of getting around Jomtien and Pattaya all the while secretly wishing things could just be like home by hoping on the air con bus or trolley,metro. Some are literally stuck here,living in a world of absolute hatred,not eating Thai food not speaking the language all the while tolerating the people that they have chosen to live around. Then there are those that are really happy,but you won't find them on Thai visa forum as they are far to busy enjoying life to be sat on here all day.

colinneil Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 My way of avoiding boredom. Winched off my bed 8.00am Feed my bantams/fish, water my veg, weed a bit, sow more seeds. Have lunch, get winched back on my bed, sleep maybe 1 hour, get winched back in to my wheelchair. Repeat morning chores. Have my dinner, winched back on to my bed. Wife showers me, make some snide comments on TV, time to sleep. Never get bored, to busy for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A common mistake here by many farang is to put the return to address on their collars in english whereas, if you put it in Thai script you are far more likely to see them again.

I don't have that, it's the rich old guys who are fat and ugly, and think the young girl they are paying for loves them I have a disdain for. If the old guy with the young chick is paying for sex and understands that the young chick is only there for his money, I have no problem with that at all.
