Davidvs Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Having not been to Thailand yet, I probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but... Per my wife "Pattaya bad, blah blah, blah.." I have no desire to live in a tourist area when we retire, and move back to her village, but having a few "normal" American/Brit/Aussies around would probably be nice.

I think I know a bit more about living out in the sticks than the OP does. Still learning, i have only been here 14 years now. 2 years at Kanchanaburi and 12 years here, also a lot of internal travelling, so i really don't need advice from the youngsters and newbies thank you all.

Even though I have personally saved at least one person's life by rescuing him from being frozen after the senior fell into a snow bank in the middle of winter and almost froze to death, I avoid churches for fear of bursting into flames. 14 trips to Pattaya so far and I don't think I was that bad of a person. I guess will find out about the soul thing in a few years when I pass. So far, just stories and folk lore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent 3 months in an apartment in Jomtien last year, with a Thai woman from one of the outlying provinces. We went into Pattaya only twice on the baht bus, didn't stay longer than 3 hours on either occasion. It reminded me of the most depressing and horrible place I'd ever been (Rhyl, North Wales) but with more obvious ways of relieving one of one's money. My second visit was to try and ascertain just what my friends in the UK saw in the place apart from the women of easy virtue.....I couldn't see it. I don't know what has caused you to accuse Huckenfall of being inexperienced. Inexperienced in what? The man knows what he dislikes, so how is that judgemental? Everyone to their own I say, and who are you to criticise his decisions? Great post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsaanAussie Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I moved to Thailand over 20 years ago. I have been happily married for 17 years and we moved up to my wife's village here in the Amphur of Khukhan 11 years ago. So I can claim a reasonable knowledge of the area, given I live in a small subsistence farming village. There are a good few westerners living around the province that speak English. Understand that because of the remote nature we are spread out and you need to travel to meet up. There are many opportunities to meet like minded people and most I have met and now consider friends, are just normal guys enjoying living here. To me, enjoying living in places like this is entirely up to me. They are small, close knit communities that are very traditionally Buddhist and animism governs the culture. You will not change that and unless you adopt or at least understand how to live in that environment, I doubt you will be happy to stay home most days. Khukhan is not like big city Bangkok or tourist resorts like Pattaya, it is a small rural town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
