Retiring to Pattaya

[Olddaddy]

How many of the readers here will be retiring to Pattaya this year or 2027?

Most of you really need to move there if your from a Western country 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Time is limited, life is limited⌛⌛

Like sands through the hourglass so is the Days of our lives 

Whether you live in the UK, USA or Germany, sell up ( if you own your house) 

, move  over to Pattaya to lead an exciting life ,dancing 👯👯‍♂️, guys on call 👦👨sex everyday , the best restaurants , you can easily live on 25,000 baht month if you buy a apartment there 

Bars every night 🍷🍾🥂sex everyday , meeting people from around the world 🌎 

Do it .... otherwise remain stagnant in your Western country doing absolutely nothing !!!

So, what do we do when the blush is off the rose?  Vacationing somewhere is vastly different than living full-time in that destination.  While an early arrival may hit the bars nightly / frequently upon arrival and off the boys ... it's likely that changes over time.  Eating out at restaurants regularly?  That becomes lesser and lesser over time. The ability to speak/communicate in Thai makes a transition easier but not having that ability can isolate us and cost us.  Hopefully, over time ... we develop regular callers, therefore making trips to the bars less frequent - but the financial commitment not much less.  What else, though, will occupy our time there?  Expat network?  I've been an expat outside the USA previously (not Thailand), and I know that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Ok.  when are you making the move?

I will make the move in the next few years 

I will then have a very exciting life whilst many of you languish in your country whilst I'm out being forever young ,

dancing , clubbing ,bar hopping , being  gangbanged in the gay sauna ,moneyboys , massages everyday , Fine wines🍷🍾 ,cheeses 🧀

and the list goes on while many of you will be in your crime ridden country dreaming about Pattaya !!

Oh like sands through the hour glass ⏳⌛⌛.... So is the Days of our lives

Good luck living on that type of budget = 833 baht per day (25k / 30 days).  A more realistic monthly budget is 60k to 70k baht (based on the above mentioned assumption that you bought an apartment and don't have rent to pay).  On some days it is possible, but on many it is not, if you want to do the things that you describe on your above list.  Also, if friends come over to visit you - they are in vacation mode (with a travel fun budget that they saved up all year) and that 833 baht per day suddenly becomes 2,000 to 4,000 baht per day.

and in my opinion, this is the hardest part of retirement - how do you repurpose yourself?  How do you find new purpose in your life?

I'm sure there is gay farang in Pattaya living on that budget ( obviously own their own Condo and no rent  ,)

The gay bars actually are much more expensive than the straight bars ,has anyone noticed that ?

I usually pay the 250;baht at the gay sauna where I'm a very popular slut and no need for rent boys 

I wonder if I should take over l/ buy a  small bar , have a few money boys. Have a few tables out the front and provide some excitement 

Have the 1980's music going 

Even hire Boy George to come into the bar ?

I don't want a big bar , I just need a small one where we can all play bingo , strip poker and dance to the night
