- I tell you why I needed to leave Pattaya, the place was frying my head, this video I give a honest account why you need to leave the wonderful place that is called Pattaya, every now and again.
At some stage you'll probably have to stop living like a 21 year old and grow up!
I had a friend similar to him who loves to party, and we're both late 50s. His life revolves around partying, and he has the money to do it nightly. I think it's crazy but it's his life.
Why?
@@eurofitz2607 Why not?
Just leave him alone you have your life no one wants to know
@@kamaumwenjerwa7032 by going on CZcams it is open for everyone to voice their opinions much alike yourself , if an individual on CZcams cannot accept other opinions then get off social media .
Pattaya isn't the problem. IT'S YOU! I have lived in SE Asia for 7 years and I see people like this everyday. Death by barstool. You CHOOSE the life you live and that is 100% on you. Glad you took a break but the real question is if you can make a real change or are you going back to the same thing.
Well said
I agree with this.
Well said he won't the way is going on you think he had took a year away on detox
Absolutely correct, especially for losers men in pattaya unhappy people
Totally Agree. And he’s only gone to Koh Chang for the weekend, he still carry on drinking.
The problem with pattaya is when you're there you're bored of it,then when you leave you want to go back.
Agreed. I've done 16 years of that but never had visa just travel every couple of months.Philipines, Malaysia,Vietnam but Pattaya has everything.
I lived there for 6 years when I left I left for good I went back o ce for a friend's funeral and I couldn't wait to leave now I hate the place never want to go back
Addiction.
So true 😅
@raymondwebb2029 It's a very distorted, unrealistic view of Thailand. I do like Thailand but can't stand pattaya or phuket for those reasons.
I'll never feel sorry you mate, I've been dry for about 15 year now. No point blaming anything else we do it to ourselves. Look in the mirror and make a choice. Good luck.
Thank you
Nobody regrets going sober. Pattaya with no alcohol is amazing.
you must be from the AA CULT. it's easy to spot a 12 STEP Cultist by their genuine contempt all non-believers.
Just over ten years, for me.
Every single morning I STILL wake up feeling like I just got outta jail and can't supress a smile.
@@kratos.8151 So much better!
In my experience, guys who chase women end up broke.
In Pattaya, you don't chase, you shop and choose between what's available. They're like fish in a barrel and you're the fisherman.
A very successful friend told me “don’t chase women chase money, once you have money women will chase you. “
In my experience, who marriees woomen end up broke
2 to 3 diiivorce is enough to bankrupt any man.
@@A_Sen_0 well that's a tough one, the right woman can actually make you/help you get rich. But most guys can't even dress themselves let alone pick the right woman. Just look at all the expats picking these poor dark Isaan girls who become a burden on them.
Wow, you don't say?!
Living in Pattaya without self-control and you will wind up dying in Pattaya with nothing.
Living anywhere without self control will usually end pretty disastrously and with nothing, not just restricted to Pattaya.
@@1t_wasnt_me Genius reply. The topic of the post was living in Pattaya.
@@1t_wasnt_me Pattaya would be one of the worse places to be a alcoholic apart from living in a brewery
Anyone prone to drug addiction and lacking discipline and self control will suffer in a place like Pattaya.
Whenever I'm in a red light district (anywhere) I'm reminded of being a young lad and watching wasps enticed into a jam jar, half filled with water, from which few happily manage to escape whilst the rest either plunge straight in and drown or beat their wings increasingly slowly until exhaustedly dropping to meet the same fate.
Even more interesting to note some of those which escape their initial visit, having learned nothing, return, sometimes again and again, until they, too, end up drowning.
I reckon 90% of men can relate to your blog webby your honesty shows through
Thank you so much
Need to wise up I see a lot of the older men out here doing them selves In well the sub40 living out here making dollar not sitting around bars n that culture 10 years time gunna be total different place here
@oioi5794 It's the atmosphere there, and if you want to indulge in the depravity and have the money, it can become an ever lasting party. The problem is that most people's bodies begin to suffer the effects of that lifestyle, and eventually, the brain catches up, and depression sets in. It's a very abnormal place
Hello steve. Fortunately for me I don't drink while living in Thailand. My habits change , sometimes I'm happy to chill in my condo, sometimes I go to the cinema, sometimes go to a bar and chat to girls, or travel to an island or the big city. I always try to vary my life in Thailand so never crave just one thing
you made the most sence this guy has to know its a choice to drink bad habits chase women means your not a playboy only when they chase you you are get it Pattaya is not the problem your the problem in Pattaya make it make sence!
If a person is emotionally weak, lacks discipline and self control, they should to stay home and live in their own culture/environment.
Never ever would I live in the UK ever again, that place was killing me
I lived in SE Asia for a couple of years. Bouncing around between Thai, Cambodia, Laos. I used drink and drugs virtually every day just to combat the boredom. Back in the UK working again now until retirement in a couple of years. Then I'll probably go back and do it again.
Sod the UK
@@welshboywebbyuntil you got ill and you came crawling back to be sorted out. Have a word
@@welshboywebby true mate.The government of the UK dont give a toss about the citizens.
And the Thais care about their citizens ?? 🤦@@whittakerwinstanleyiii4051
@@austin_11513 So, because the UK provides healthcare (which we pay for with 8-12% of our income every payday) we are not allowed to be critical of the way the country is being run??
Bruh, Pattaya is the worst. Good for you for taking a break and getting out of town for a bit. I spent my first 3 years in Thailand wasting too much money on girl and drinking.... once I decided to completely stop the bar scene, stop messing with bar girls, and stop drinking, my life in Thailand became super awesome. Meeting a normal, well educated Thai girl with family values that isn't into drinking and partying is 100% different than the typical Pattaya Bar Girl.
Thanks for sharing
Ive been to pattaya 38 times over the years,but when youve been there,seen it,done it several times it becomes boring
Did it take you 38 visits to realise that?
Didn’t you break the cycle when you went back to Wales for a while ? You admitted you have zero willpower so a few days away from Pattaya won’t break the chain if you’re going to return to Pattaya or Jomtien. Once you’re back, the same behaviour will begin all over again.
Your missing the point I think mate, I got away to stop for a few days so I can wake up in the mornings and Try
Ignore webby. He is an attention seeker who only looks out for himself.
@@austin_11513 Definitely not losing any sleep. Pattaya is littered with full time pissheads and he’s on the way to becoming one of them. Couldn’t handle central Pattaya and went to Jomtien as it was quieter and he’s not handling that either. No willpower by his own admission, disposable income, in a party town with no desire to take a healthier option. If he genuinely thinks something is going to change by getting away for a couple of days, he’s the only one.
Moderation is the key ,
Take care mate🙂
Cheers I will
Its the alcohol more than anything. When you walk around at 9am in the morning and the bars are full of people on the sauce you know that this is not a good place to live long term. If you don't have the ability to restrain yourself then you have to leave. I have been on trips there and haven't touched a drop of alcohol in the entire 4 weeks I was in the country. You couldn't possibly be more wrong about going to the gym, It is a life saver for guys our age and you should give it a shot. It's not like you don't have time in the day to work out.
I don't see anyone drinking at 9am mate, and I defo don't drink that time thanks for the comment
Wise words. Thailand and south east Asia has so much more to offer... Good luck breaking the cycle
Gotta be making money here to take your mind off partying imo otherwise it’s jus 1 big sesh which is pointless you’ll only do yourself in
I totally get what you are on about, having been visiting the place for almost 3 decades. It can be the most lonely place in the world, even though you are surrounded by many so called friends.
It can be the ruin of many good guys who are just looking to live the dream. I have seen many like this, some take the balcony challenge, others, just drink themselves to death.
You are wise following your gut feeling and getting away for a while.👍🏻
Thanks for sharing, I'm never going to jump of my balcony I'm only on the second floor lol
That comparison with the tiger actually makes really good sense for me
And me
it would make good sense to anybody who thinks with their little heads
I love how this story is unfolding and your complete honesty Webby, it is so interesting. You are such a genuine guy and it's a breath of fresh air to see someone like yourself in the media. Thanks for sharing with us the gift you and this channel has become 👍
Wow, thank you!
Im going through exactly the same mate, good luck, got plans for the future and will beat this
Cheers
The day I went to Pattaya in 1984 I wanted to get out of there.
Haha
Always appreciate these kind of videos. Thank you for sharing. I think many of us try to keep our humanity and balance in this place, while having the time of our lives. It can get tricky.
Absolutely!
I used to drink vodka every day. I started smoking weed. Now I do not get hangovers and work out every morning. I feel better and am much happier.
Yeah but your monthly $ probably went from 300$ to 700$ doing the switch huh?
I wish you luck , it's up to you, been in that situation and had to leave my drinking buddies behind so that I could live a healthy life.
I get you
Really enjoyed the vlog. At around 6:35 you mention the weekend buzz of going out when back home working. Although it may be very difficult, i think trying to live as you would back home is a good plan to avoid excessive drinking. Dry through the week then a blowout at the weekend. After all, many of us in the uk do that for decades and it prevents getting into trouble with alcohol issues. All the best.
Cheers
It's not Pattaya. It's the person. Reimagine your life and you can thrive anywhere. From elephant sanctuaries to orphanages to underfunded public schools, use your channel to shine a light on the people of Pattaya and help them. You feel so much better when you give to others. Congrats on your reawakening!
Cheers
Only an alcoholic says things like..."...there is no such thing as 1 drink" & "you'll drink until you collapse"! It takes one to know one & if I take a drink it will end with me passed out. I have lived here in Pattaya for just over a year & celebrated 7 years of continuous sobriety on June 10th '24. Pattaya is Much Better sober rather than drunk! Just in case you'd like to try to live without alcohol. Let me know if you would like to explore that idea because I can help. This is not a professional endeavor of mine. This is something I would offer anyone wishing to live alcohol free.
Thank you mate and great message but I'm fine
When I am in Pattaya I have no desire for the booze, I hardly drink.... For me its the women I got to have a couple of them every day which I find on Thaifriendly. I have a regular that comes to my condo most evenings and I get a new one for the love in the late afternoon session. During the day I hang around the condo pool with a few of the other guys shooting the breeze yapping gabbing telling jokes and putting the world to rights
You're living in paradise... 😁
U r living my dream 👍👍
Not a bad life that is it? Do you travel to other parts of Thailand / SE Asia now and then?
Find a hobby
I did living in thailand
It makes a lot of difference and you will meet thai friends
Take it from someone who has been there
@@KieranWxm I have been coming to/living on&off in Pattaya since 1984. I have visited other parts of Thailand but no where beats the place I keep coming back to in Pattaya and I am of the age now that I just want to relax in the place I feel most comfortable... Traveling around I find too stressful so I just keep it simple and stay in my own oasis
I've only spent 6 months in a row at one time in Pattaya but i loved it.
The big difference for me is i don't drink so in many ways it's hard for me to relate.
But i hope your break is great and maybe you need to take more breaks?
Good health.
Thanks for sharing
Good video and information ,big ups mate 🙏
Much appreciated
I can understand what your going through. I was forced to retire on medical grounds,Hate doing same same everyday (drinking etc) weight thru the roof not getting fit.Life is just a merry go round at the momment.
Gotta pull my finger out & get fit.
Cheers
Easiest way to loose weight, is to eat Keto/Carnivor along with intermittent fasting. Eat almost no sugar or processed foods. I’m in the best shape at 72 y/o , lab’s and blood pressure perfect …
Okay Steve i hope you’re there in July lol to see you, I understand what you’re saying about Pattaya yea I’m going to retire hopefully this year I’m going to look for a place away from Pattaya out in the sticks were it’s nice and quiet keep my head right be healthy
Your issue is alcohol, not Pattaya. You need to find a life outside the bars, and it is possible in Pattaya, otherwise you will join the thousands of expats who are drinking from 9am on Soi Bukhaow and they are already dead, they just dom't know it yet.
Start travelling, find a hobby outside of the bars.
I don't drink in the day, but yeah I do see guys,drinking in the morning and I do sod that
Don't blame you mate. I genuinely think I'd struggle to stay there long term. A couple of weeks 2 or 3 times a year would do me for Patts, any longer and it'd be asking for trouble, I'd be off the rails.
All the best, you'll get through it.
Cheers
You are right. That title was clickbait but good on you for being so honest! I was stung to the tune of many MANY 1000's (of pounds) over a few years because of this lifestyle and had nothing to show for it. I still think about going back though! The answer is to have a hobby or interest to keep you busy. A hobby you can do anywhere rather than relying on bars and girls every day to alleviate the boredom. Simple but if you we're a person who's life was all work and partying but no interests other than that at home then this Thailand isn't the type of retirement lifestyle for you.
Thanks for the comment
Honest as the day is long, great analogy!
Thank you
Webby your Videos are always interesting and fun to watch because you talking from your heart. Very honest and crucial Topics. So many guys will related including myself to this point. I mean you need to be very disciplined and strong minded to avoid so many temptation’s. Every single day is like Saturday in Pattaya. In my last trip this year back in January I was literally drinking quite a lot every night. Have you consider perhaps doing a bit of traveling around. Cambodia 🇰🇭 or maybe Vietnam 🇻🇳. You could do wicked Content from those places. And take a break from the madness of the city. Look after yourself Mate and keep safe.
That's the plan thank you so much
Join the gym, get fit... Healthy body healthy mind😊
Sounds like you had fun have a break then back on it again 🍻👍
Hahaah
When are you doing another “Live Chat”. They always cheer me up.
Same,time every week Sunday 7pm on my live wbwlive
@@welshboywebby. Will you stream this to your regular CZcams channel? X
Good honest video! It’s normal that you become desensitised… being in a location like Pattaya should be a treat. Something that excites you! If you are there in the buffet 24/7 novelty will wear off! It’s definitely best to live outside and go back once a month.
Thanks for the tips!
Recognizable, good luck to you!
Cheers
I’d drink myself to death if I lived there.Ill just stick to visiting every now and again.
Best bet
I’m consider myself so lucky, because I love the gym and staying in shape is the biggest priority for me. This acts as a counter-balance. It serves as my anchor, preventing me from indulging too much in any of the 3 things you talked about. I also never, ever ‘chase’ women. For me, the thrill is when the girl chases and pursues ME. It’s a big turn on for me. That’s just the way my brain is wired. I have very little interest in drinking either and although I definitely enjoy to socialise, I’m very happy just being by myself somewhere peaceful and quiet most of the time, away from the crowds 👍
Thanks for sharing
Same. I hate training, but I love the gym here. It's in my condo since I'm no longer in hotels. The nutrition and weather here make a fitness lifestyle ideal. Since I don't need bars, I'll move to Hua Hin from Jomtien once my lease expires
You’ll be fine mate at least you can see the signs and give yourself a break. Take care
I'm going great
Hi, could you please share where you could rent those small triangle hut's you rent ? I Plan to travel around in Thailand this winter (again), thanks for an interesting video with insights.
Hi mate it was in bo thong gods knows where sorry
Well done for sharing your honest heart felt thoughts good to share this so people will have an idea what really can happen there
Thank you so much!
Money women and drink you nailed it in 3 words that is pattaya
I do try 😆
it doesnt take much of an IQ to know that
Nice video. Enjoyed it.
Cheers
What do they brew that Thai beer with? Salt water?
What
Won’t last a week until he’s back
And the tiger even brought his beef with him to the jungle...
Hi I get the no gym thing, did you have any hobbies in the uk , or are there any potential hobbies you see in Thailand?
Only golf mate but it's,so hard,to get up in the morning
Cheers, Webby! The saying, 'Everything in moderation' is apt. As you said in the vlog, back home you work all week and let loose at the weekend. Do you need to find an interest/hobby, something to break the cycle? I am like you, I love the chase, and then get bored it if becomes routine. Exercise works for me, mentally & psychically. Just an idea mate.
Thanks mate
I do 4 days drinking and 3 days of the drink perfect strategy easy to stick to
I do 4 off 3 on it works for me until webby says we are going on a gents club call in week that fu.ks up the plan lol
I have a old work mate who who lives in Hua Hin who I'd visit...I'd have 5 nights there and 7 in Pattaya...I couldn't wait to leave Hua Hin for Pattaya...but now I stay away from Pattaya. As I've got older Pattaya has lost its appeal. I love Hua Hin now. I went back last year for the first time since the pandemic and I enjoyed all the 10 nights I was there. Pattaya is too mad for me.
I feel 100% the same as you. At first, I thought that was my comment.😄
I love pattaya with all my heart ❤️
So you left for 2 days? A weekend away basically. Wow, really breaking the cycle
And took a girl,from Pattaya with him…..
Great video! You are a very insightful, true and smart person - I think more than you know - and your videos represent real value to us viewers IMO 👍. Good luck to you Webby KUTGW
I appreciate that!
Mate take is from someone who went through this. The first time I was in Thailand was 1984. Very different places then but bloody awesome place especially from where I came from. A lot of back and forth between Australia over the years and then decided to live in Thailand. I lasted 4 years. Ended up in the situation you are in now with very little willpower. After 4 years of destroying myself it was time to make the decision. Go to rural Thailand and live a simple life…..well that didn’t work. Ended up back in Australia working the same job and having a few beers on the weekends making Thailand my holiday destination twice a year. Everything works better now. I still get that buzz when I land. That first night out is awesome. Works for me. Take care of yourself old mate
Probably some of the best advice yet living there for many doesn’t work out so just go there for for 1 month a time on holidays it’s that simple really
It's all about self-control .
I come to Thailand since 2010 and I do have a drink , but most of the time it stays with just that one alcohol drink .
Pattaya is like a magnet and you have to be strong to say ' no ' .
It's like in that Genesis song ' The lady lies ' with lyrics like ' Come to my garden, taste the fruits and the spices of love , you won't resist me i'm the kind that your dreams tell you of '
If I stay there for a couple of months , it is outside the city , but in near reach .
If I would live there , it would even be a bit further , Ban Amphur or Bang Saray.
I'd be bored as hell living away from jomtien
@@welshboywebby Good for you .
You hit the nail square on the head, willpower. If you have no discipline/willpower it's a difficult place to be, even on holiday.
Mate a break away from the norm is always good, see new sights, and great for your mental health. So many people I know do the same mate, it’s a great way to see all of Thailand 👍🙏🏼🇹🇭
Cheers
We had a couple of beers together mate but your life is 24/7 you go out more times than the gas lol keep it up mate see you Christmas 😊
That made me laugh so much
Webby you have done the right thing getting away from it for a bit, Gives you and your body a rest which we all need as we get older lol I love seeing you in different places and you seem to like it as well , gives you time to reflect . Maybe once a month take us on a bike ride to a new place gives you some thing new to do and you get to chill out with your companion. Any way enjoy your time away have fun and enjoy the peace 😄😄😄😄
Cheers mate 👍
Like the cockney comedian says are you going out or are you going out out . The golf kept me sensible and never drank before 6 pm also had a bunch of mates in places a long way from Pattaya so went on lots of short trips .
Awesome
Good job my man for understanding there was an issue. I lived in pattaya for only 4 months. The only way I got it working was working then gym coming back home to swim and keeping the drink for the last hr before sleep. The women.. I only included them if they wanted to go swimming, watch tv and fak.
PS you ain't looking to bad. Stay safe.
Thanks for sharing
I find splitting the day up into sections and setting a plan to go to different areas and actually doing things through out the day that doesn't involve drinking helps.
Think about each meal you have and make it a 30 minute alchole free time, you'll soon find food is far more enjoyable and diverse than alcohol.
ps thanks for the tip on the Chinese place on Lengkee connected to Hunger Pains
Mate I honestly don't drink in the day
"Pattaya, its mental life", yes if you make it that way of course it can be. Glad you are in a better place. Alcohol has been a companion of mine for over 45 years, an elixir to ease the mind and body at times.Craving you got to rid yourself of. Keep it flowing. Peace, Love, Happiness
Seen so many different people's stories from retiring or slowing down and living a life of excess. It always comes to this point. Just do what you want to do. Carry on, stay where you are, move somewhere else, stop drinking, slow down drinking, just do whatever you feel you need to. Just keep an eye on your mental and physical health, or even better, try to make that your priority. But obviously, have fun. You're only here once.
Cheers 🍻
Desensitised is exactly it. I lived in Pattaya for over a year, it warps reality. Things that should be fun and crazy become boring and mundane. I found myself not enjoying the nights out and actually resenting the girly bars. I decided to move to Chiang Mai. I go back to Pattaya every few months, and I love it for a holiday.
I totally get that message
This is your stereotypical older expat drunk and lonely, wakes up one day realizes his life is sheet then cries on about it, i doubt he will change.
He wasn't after pity
its so easy to pick on someone that exposes themselves. do you want me to pick on you? I have enough information to do so you and I can put it out in the universe
And what are you doing watching such videos 😂
@@user-nl9me3er7w please do I have many imperfections but none involve going to a foreign country seeking sex with prostitutes and drinking everyday. A real man doesn't complain about his life or expose his imperfections for profit.
@@adrianmarrinan7707 simple, I am interested in many topics and will listen to many points of view, I don't have to agree with a person to listen.
Good video. Matters not where, beer and broads, is risky stuff
It is
Lightweight lol Been there, done that. You need to surround yourself with new friends who do things other than drink.
I'm the one who gets,them to party lol
Have fun then you're overthinking lol
I’m in Pattaya from start of Nov to end of December. I won’t be losing the plot. Been holidaying for years in Thailand. Couldn’t be arsed hitting the bars everyday/night. Done that. Will head exploring during the week and have few beers at weekend only
Many better places to stay in thailand if that's what you are doing on holiday
Good idea sitting in Bukkao every nights does end up being like Groundhog Day
I don't go there much
Love the Tiger analogy 🙂
Haaha
A bit of self reflection is always good, I hope you find some moderation. Good luck.
Always!
Pattaya is a monthly visit at the very most ,when i go on holiday for 5 weeks .i travel around thailand.I only stay for 6 day split .3 days at the start and 3 days at the end .
I could never do it
Very open and honest Webby. Truth be told, I think you seem very restless at the moment. Am I right?
Cheers and,no I'm not
Do you worry about what has happened with steady Eddie and also your original medical trouble?
Both vaxxed
I don't worry about anything in my life, mate. That's the honest truth
Show us your company and is she from TIME ?
Good vid mate.. It's about a bit of balance.. Would do ya good to grab a car and go touring for 3-4 days every 4weeks or so... We used to call it "bottle'n'dice" when I was back packing back in the day.. Basically spin an empty bottle to get your general direction, then roll 2 dice (times that by 100) and thats how far in Km's you are going in that direction - No matter where it takes you.. We had some great adventures that way..
Will clear your head, the system and you'll see a few things.. The lads, beers, ladies and bars will still be back in Pattaya waiting for ya.. hahaha
Great comment
Maybe you should of spent more time daily in the pool/jacuzzi/steam/sauna at Dusit 2! Wasn’t the bars at Rompho market more tame than Pattaya?
I hear ya. I've been living in Thailand for the past 4 years. I like Pattaya but I can't stay there all the time. I go there for maybe a few months then go somewhere else. It's definitely too crazy. Drinking so much will destroy your liver among other things, and of course it's easy to go over budget. It's nice to get away from there occasionally. I spent a few months in Chiang Mai & Chiang Mai. It's boring compared to Pattaya but it's a welcome break.
Thanks for sharing
We all need a break now and then
So true
It’s an important part of living in Thailand, especially Pattaya…….gotta check yourself every few months and make sure you’re still in control 👍💪🏼
Wise move 😉
Absolutely
Everything makes sense what you’ve said mate and I’m exactly the same the chase is the thrill more than the end product. You going to carry on as you were when you get back 😂. Not judging just asking ?
100% I am
Been through it mate it’s like a manic roundabout got to step off for a while always remember Steve there’s no such thing as a quiet nite in pattaya
Tell me about it
Damn Brother, I feel like I just looked in the mirror. Smart move!! As long as you keep your wits about you it's all good and you appear to still have a grasp on reality. Enjoy your chill. Pattaya will still be there when you return and you get to do it all over again. It's just that the next time you have a little more knowledge and experience to stretch it out longer. LOL
I am in Pattaya now and have been drinking San miguel zero. It is 3% BVA and I can drink it all day and have no hangover at all the next morning.
I tried it mate I hate the taste
I had a friend of mine drink himself to death in Angeles City, died way too young. He used to wake up in the morning and immediately hit the bars and wouldn’t stop drinking until 2 or 3 AM. He lasted about 12 years doing this before his liver gave out. Because of what happened to him, I have a very strict rule, no alcohol during daylight hours. Sometimes, it’s hard. You are walking by a bar, see some nice looking ladies, a few dudes having a good time, and then it starts calling to you, but I never go for it. I also have a rule to throw in at least 2 or 3 health nights each week where I don’t drink. Even on the nights I do drink, it’s not many. Also, not too many ladies, just a few. During the day, gym every single day of the week, walking or running, and then lifting. Do some shopping, food and supplies, go to movies once in awhile, watch Netflix. That’s my life in Pattaya, and I enjoy it quite a bit. The only reason I would ever leave is if my health deteriorated, which it will, but hopefully I can get 2 or 3 decades more here in Pattaya.
Same hear i had a friend he would say he could not stop drinking could not sleep unless he was drunk and would never and could never sleep alone so he would pay for low grade women to sleep with him each woman destroyed him bit by bit over a 4 year time span i use to talk to him and is brain drivers where he was in FEAR !!! 43 years of age that guy :-) peace all word of advice to anyone in this place face yourself in the Mirror or you will fall into the Mirror and not live long
I stay in Sriracha on my visits and dip in and out of Pattaya if I get an itch. Certainly could not stay in Patts full time.
Thanks for sharing
I know exactly what you mean, and if you can't control it it will literally kill you. I used to live at City Garden Pattaya on soi 15, and just about every night the neon lights drew me in...
You have to control it - maybe relocating down to Bang Saray would be a good idea for you?
I'll never ever live there, mate,it would bore me to death, but your right the lights and fun factor defo makes you go out
I'm sure that you will find your way.
I will
Are there any good places to jog or run there in Pattaya?
Yes mate there is a track near the big buddha
cost me about 80 k in 8 months... But loved every minute... Back to work in Canada... Damn...
Yeah I bet you did
Even a party animal like you, needs to have a break from all the craziness sometimes Webby 👍 nice to get away sometimes and just tune out, good move. Kinda like hitting the Reset button on your life occasionally, to clear all the junk out of your system 🙏
No matter where we are, what we are doing we all need-like a break, change of scenery, Alcohol ! if you cant control it , no will power , do what you are doing now on a regular basis, get away from it send us some vlogs different areas, as long as you are healthy and happy nowt else matters Phil
So true
Great vacation spot , wouldn't want to live there though.
I love it
Oh boy 🙁, take care of yourself brother.
I'm OK mate
This is why i would never live in a tourist area , i lived in chaweng,koh samui for 2 years and ended up hating the place.when you live in tourist areas you end up seeing everything that goes on(scams,rip offs,abuse) behind the scenes,you can live with it on a 10 day/2week holiday but day in day out it just drags you down,keep holiday resorts for holidays is the way i play it now
Cheers
like disneyland, its for amatures
