I arrived in Thailand in late October of 2023. My first time back in 8 years. And this time, I promised myself I’d do things differently. No falling in love, no silly decisions, and no thinking with the wrong head. I booked a 3 week stay in Pattaya and checked into a mid range hotel…
We have one of the many cannabis stores here in Bangkok. We had updates to the new rules and regulations, but on the ground here in Thailand, you won’t notice many differences. All the shops are operating. Normally, they switched to a prescription only model, but the larger businesses were quick to adjust and they…
Welcome to Bangkok, Thailand. This is Don Mueang International Airport. If you’re flying into this city using a low cost airline, chances are you’ll be arriving here in the arrival hall. Before arriving, make sure you’re flying into the correct airport. Don Mueang has the airport code DMK while the larger Suvarnabhumi Airport has the…
Retiring in Thailand is a major life decision, and with so many moving parts involved in relocating overseas, it’s easy for retirees to overlook important details and make costly mistakes.

My name is Tim. I live in the United States. I have never been married, but I have had a great life and I’m pretty well known as a successful attorney where I live. When I was 43, I was living a wonderful life. I’m six and a half foot tall, that’s about 1.93 meters,…
Thailand, Pattaya, bar girls, and a dull life back in my country, it’s just a cocktail of regret waiting to happen. My story starts off like many others do: single man, bored in my home country, looking for some excitement and being told to give Thailand a try. And when I say bored, I mean…
As I say, this first story is quite a short story, but it’s quite humorous. I have been to Pattaya several times already and was booked for four weeks at Songkran last year, six weeks at Christmas, two more weeks in Phuket, and another four in Pattaya, but these were cancelled due to the current…
