Home Sick

[CalvinTan]

Hello pal,

This is the first time I am working abroad and it's only

the second week that I feel home sick.

I can't concentrate on my job and keep thinking.

I am working alone for at least the next few weeks.

Can someone advise me what to do?

It is his first time away from mom. That is very hard when you are only 45 years old.

RE-focus.

Your attention is elsewhere and divided. Get lost in present time details, things that require your attention and must be done.

Can you explained further?

Just to clarify. I am working in bangkok.

from other country.

Anyone can help by giving some nice suggestions?

I appreciate it very much

Calvin

[dr_Pat_Pong]

What other country ? What sort of work do you do ?

[gisele]

There's so much to explore in BKK especially if this is your first time.

Keep busy. See every movie.

If you run you can join the Bangkok Hash.

i agree with doc,

go out, have a drink and get laid, (or a nice soapy massage, that'll sort your head out).

then go to work and earn your salary.

Calvin, step away from the internet son.

Calvin......you are from Singapore right .....usually when people get homesick, one of the best things to do is to get familiar things around you. For Euro or Uk people for example it might mean going to a brit style pub and eating some familiar food and drinking a few familair beers surrounded by 'familiar' faces. For you maybe you could try to find your familiar surroundings....maybe Chinatown !! Singapore is not far away either so you could fly home for the weekends.

I went to Singapore a few times and found an outdoors shop there ..... do yo uknow it....near raffles city......I forget the name !!?

Anyone knows where is the place where I can get to speak to some chinese

and make some friends?

Please advise so I can drop by the weekends or end of the day.

The chap is home sick?

Thaimee is sick of home.

My advice Calvintan is to stay addicted to thaivisa dot com and learn how expats stay focused and sain. We are all addicted to helping out here at this nice forum.

Calvintan this is your second home. Next time you are feeling blue, think of us!

Head for Chinatown in Bangkok ( or have weekend in Singapura ... a 2 hour cheap plane ride )

i'm from pattaya and unfortunatley i don't know where the good massage places are, i'm sure the other members will advise you about bkk.

if you come to pattaya i'll give you some ideas.

[davethailand]

you cannot apply that to everybody snark.

were my replies immature?

[Opl]

Calvin Tan,

I would suggest you to have a nice cup oh hot tea , stick to the job you've got to achieve ( if you get late, you'll feell even more depressed) , take a calendar, mark every day gone, start the final countdown) , focus on your personal motivations and find the link with your temporary stay in BKK, well in brief, turn a bitter lemon into a sweet soda drink !

[the gentleman]

Never been homesick myself, but its only 2 weeks mate, it will get better, there are plenty of Chinese in Bangkok and maybe a good rub and scrub, might do you the world of good - they definately will make you feel at home.

[englishoak]

You are here to WORK not to have fun, get a grip son. Work work work !!

Just go to chinatown. Have a beer have a chat & go get laid.

Anything is possible in Bangkok. Just you your imagination.

[LaTanne]

Now I feel as though Thailand were like America where people get laid often. Gosh! Aren't you afraid of AIDS?

[dr_Pat_Pong]

A visit to a supermarket or a pharmacy beforehand is recommended.

[NedKelly]

Calvin I think you may be looking for the sort of company you will find at Soi 4 Silom road. It is near to Patpong and has many bars with other people looking to make friends and have a beer and a chat. Many places have good music if you dance and there are other who want to dance too. You should head on down there at night on Fridays or Saturday.
