CalvinTan Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisele Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 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. http://www.bangkokhhh.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethailand Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NedKelly Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 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 !!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaimee Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 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! Thaimee (GB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opl Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 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 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 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.

NedKelly Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
