Why I Picked Peace in Thailand Over Partying

- In today's video, I dive into a topic that many of you have been curious about - why I choose to steer clear of bars and limit my alcohol intake in Thailand. As an expat or traveler, navigating the vibrant nightlife of Thailand can be both tempting and challenging. Join me as I share my experiences and thoughts on this frequently asked question.

When you're middle-aged, clean living will help you live longer. I'm 55, I've quit drinking, I'm eating healthy, and I exercise. I feel better than I was when I was 30 drinking and partying!
Yes, I agree. I feel better now than I did 20 years ago.
That was a great video. Honest and to the point. I think most people feel that living in Thailand must mean parties and girls all the time but as an older gentleman like yourself, I feel that cannot be the only way to live and your videos shows us what is important is finding some inner peace. I have never been a partier or big drinker, so seeing you live this way makes me feel that there are different ways to live and good on on you for showing us that, keep up the great videos, we'll keep watching.
Thank you buddy, great to read this comment 🙏
Your past life is extremely similar to mine.
It’s great to hear you’re happier now than ever 👍
Cheers Drew 👍
I spent every lunch time in that park during my second week in Chiang Mai. I know what you are saying. My friends loved to go out and get smashed and they got into smoking weed, but I could never get into it. If I did go out it was to keep them happy, but I was never happy. And we too drifted apart. I got married and they would stop asking me out. I enjoyed the family life, raising my children. And now I am in Thailand, trying to enjoy my own happiness in retirement, being able to afford to do things that I could never afford back home in Australia. It's all new and exciting for me, and I hope I find peace and happiness here in Thailand.
Thanks for sharing this Paul, nice to read your story mate. Kawila Park is one of my favorites.
Just 15 minutes of honesty, with a pretty backdrop. There's nothing better.
Thanks buddy 👍
I was just the same which is why I now choose to live in the suburbs of Chiang Mai and my extremely peaceful and zen type of existence. Partying is for the young and there comes a time when you wake up and realize that you have wasted a lot of time getting stupid.
Wise man mate 👍
Do you ever use Cannabis now to help relax and meditate?
I feel like people can 100% relate, or not relate at all. I could not possibly relate more - just living a peaceful, some might say boring, life is really all I want.
Thanks 👍
Wayne I agree with you sir. I partied till I was 25, had to much to drink one weekend and was sick for 3 days. So I put the beer down and was done! I’m now 64 and getting myself ready to retire in Thailand, getting passport and international driver license. I hope to see you next in 2024. Take care and be safe.
Nice one Bob, hope to see you over here soon buddy.
I'm from a small town in Midwestern America & I could identify with a lot of what you said... I suspect I'm a little older than you being born in 1965 & growing up hard rock & metal in the early 80's but most of your descriptive rang true to what I experienced.
Love this video... I was pretty controlled in my younger days but still went out partying or drinking in bars with friends from time to time.
I saw many go too far down the path & never return from partying too hard etc.
Me... I had my motorcycling, martial arts & many outdoor activities that made me smile but repetitive failed relationships & unexpected injury dragged me down & I was still always searching for elusive happiness that never seemed attainable that is until I stopped thinking just about myself & started helping others in need which kind-of started to pull me out of my funk.
That's when I met my Thai wife who's from Chiang Mai & discovered her world... & a new way of thinking about where & how to live a happy life.
My 1st trip to Thailand I truly had an epiphany of sorts while riding a motorcycle through the mountain's of Mae Hong Son with my future wife on the back.
It was early morning & we pulled off on a roadside mountain overlook maybe a couple thousand feet up in elevation while she got on the phone talking to clients for her small web design company based in Chiang Mai for probably about an hour & I had time to kill.
During that brief period I just sat on the bike & really REALLY took in my surroundings & noticed that the morning mist was still kinda touching my face with the sun just starting to burn it off... the valley below had people working hard in the fields... everywhere laying around me on the ground were contented Thai dogs sleeping without a care in the world... behind me the mountain roadway was humming along with trucks loaded with fresh produce going to markets & a constant flow of flip-flop wearing motorcycle riders going about their daily commute... the sounds of a Buddhist temple resonated from nearby... all of these simple daily life things & I realized that happiness can be found anywhere but MINE was found then & there sitting on a trusty little rental Yamaha XT225 looking at some of the most beautiful scenery & nicest people I've seen in my life.
The future wife got off her business calls & asked me what I'd been doing while she was preoccupied... I shared my observations & asked her "do you realize that you live in a place some might consider paradise"?
She answered in a questioning tone "really do you think so" ?
I told her no place is perfect... all have their problems & faults... but this place is MY perfect.
February 7th will be our 18th anniversary & we'll be moving full time to somewhere in the Northern part of the country when I'm 62... I can't wait !
A big garden, small motorcycle, family/friends, a BBQ grill & our health... everything we need ❤
Keep doing what you do & taking us along for the ride... wishing you healthy happy days. 🙂
Bill & Proaw Kellems
Hi Bill, thank you for this great comment, I enjoyed reading. I had similar feelings when I first arrived here. I hope you can both make the move to Northern Thailand soon, it's a great part of the world. Thank you Bill.
as they say in trainspotting 'CHOOSE LIFE'! 🤣😂👍
"Choose microwave ovens and doing DIY on Sunday mornings" - Choose Life 🤣🤣🤣
I couldnt agree more mate!
Nice one mate 👍
So freaking honest - thanks man👍🏻🙏🏻🤩!
I’ve been clean / sober for 15 years, and i actually wondered if love could be lived in Thailand without Chang all over🙄😂
Live this Vlog💪🏻
Thank you buddy! 🤣
Totally relate !, and your life is definitely not boring 🙏
Thanks 👍
Pretty much the same here. I grew up in the 70s, so 'nuff said there. By my 40s I was done. I'll go to a bar (not a go go bar) and sit and nurse a beer or two with friends and that's pretty much it. Thing is, in my 60s I'm finally the person I always was but didn't know it.
Thanks Brian, I felt the same around 40. I'm a lot happier in mid life.
Do you feel really fulfilled and happy now Wayne? You know the answer - Jesus! Thank you for being so honest with us!
I've never been 100% happy, but this has been the happiest time. Cheers mate.
The answer isn't Jesus...it's Cheezus. 🧀
This is great content. I enjoy the videos about Chiang Mai/ Thailand which is why I primarily watch but it is also good to get to know a little bit about your back story and who you are as a person. Always great to see someone living their best life.
Sounds like you've added a piece. Traveled extensively? I went on a few holidays buddy 🤣
Totally understand what you say and I was exactly the same in my mid 30s and subsequently beyond and when I do actually let the hair down a couple of times a year I really do enjoy those one offs. You are certainly not on your own Wayne. Good on you for following YOUR dream!! Cheers 🍻🤩
Cheer mate. Yes, I think I enjoy the one offs more now. I'll prob have a blowout for Xmas. 👍
Yes me too. Merry Christmas mate @@WalkAboutWayne 🎅
I’m hearing you loud and clear bro and doing the same have fun !
👍👍
Good on ya Wayne, good to see your happy brother 👍
Thank you buddy!
Thanks for sharing Wayne. You're an inspiration to me (and others for certain). I've been planning to retire and move to Thailand, which is how I came across your vlog. I'm hopeful that I will be there some day.
Thank you buddy 🙏
Partying, girls, boozing..been there done that. When I hit my mid 40's I just wanted peace and quiet. Retirement in thailand is great, just choose your company wisely.
Nice one buddy!
Nice chat: Everyday, ordenary "boring" life is a gift, we might have many wants/wishes but the one who is ill only have 1 wish! Good to remember and embrace boredom sometimes😉👍 glad you found your place..for now, enjoy👏
Thank you, I enjoyed reading this 🙏
I hear you man, and I appreciate your honesty. I am 3 days dry now from Cannabis. I was getting cocky with it, but just fell into the addiction trap again as always, hammer heading it till my brain became literally numbed from it, and I finally had to admit that that held no value whatsoever for me, in fact, it had become merely a detriment, and nothing more. I am a marijuanac, meaning, I can not have just a taste, and be good. If I could take it or leave it, it would be OK, but I can't, so I have to be honest with myself, and come clean of it. I heard, never think about you're giving up, but think about what you will be gaining by giving it up, because one will go quite forward comparatively without it.
Thanks for sharing this David. I remember the days when I smoked every day, I was a zombie. Hope you make the right decisions for you buddy. I know it's not easy mate. Sleeping was the worst for me, it took me a while to beat it, but stick at it buddy.
It helps to hear rational people speak on it, and not to listen to the more cult like verbiage coming from "the crowd". Never follow the "the crowd"; just be your own man. I heard that cannabis actually inhibits rapid eye movement. REM gives our sleep the highest value. Researchers learned that Magnesium L Threonate (Magtein) enhances REM, because it can penetrate the blood, brain barrier. @@WalkAboutWayne
Hey mate, love the honesty in this blog... cheers
Thanks Colin 👍
Hi Wayne, I was born in a pub in Small Heath Birmingham, lived in a pub until I was 10, and I turned out OK😜 I still like a pint now and again with my son, fortunately, I have never been into the night club scene.
🤣 Nice one Phil, I actually lived in my uncles pub for a while as well. Nothing wrong with a night out mate. 👍
Good for you, Wayne! I never really liked partying even in my 20's except going to the pub after matches with my coed soccer teams. I've always had wanderlust since I was 13 and always dreamed of traveling the world, and that was my focus. I considered going to bars in Chiang Mai to meet people, but that's just not me.
Thanks for sharing Becky. And you sure did travel around 👍👍
Wayne I know exactly what you mean, that's was my life for a long time, now I am saving really hard to make a complete break from London and live in Thailand full time, the sad thing is I still see people I know living the old life of partying hard in there late 50s and early 60s I feel sorry for them the past is behind me and I'm looking forward to a happy healthy future in Chiang Mai
Great honest vid Wayne, new to your channel, going through your vids, great content, sort of different from other vlogs
Thank you Patrick and welcome to the channel. Great to have you here.
Much respect for your decision and happy arrival, Wayne! 🙏 😊
Thanks Joseph 🙏
Very good move. Being clean makes you appreciate life more and find a balance. Now you know yourself better and you feel it is what you want because if makes you happier. Enjoy every moment as much as you can. "Aging in an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been" -David Bowie.
Very good vlog. Wish you the best in Thailand.
Thank you buddy.
Interesting video and I guess challenging in a place that has entertainment on tap. Although ChaingMai district seems less touristy and more laid back . The older you get the less appealing the tourist traps become . So I guess the question is how can you spend your time in Thailand as an older person . I saw plenty of old men in Pattaya that didn’t look so happy but they go about a daily routine to kill time . Perhaps a nomadic life style in Thailand is desirable where your constantly visiting new places . Certainly the loops you travelled recently have proven to be interesting trips . Or perhaps find something to do there that has a social benefit. I agree the clubs are are overrated.
Great read, thanks! I agree, I find myself wanting to move out of the action places more and more now. I'm looking for that happy medium, not in the city and not too remote. Thanks again 👍
Nice one Wayne.
Everytime you speak about your youth it's like you're telling my story. I guess it's the same with many of us in that time.
Alot of my mates couldn’t believe it when I quit the scene since I was considered the "wildest" one in the extended group. I always say when I'm asked "On my death bed I'm not going to ever say I wish I partied and did more persian rugs". I lived that part of my life with zero regrets.
It's good you're keeping your head clear for your arsh hunting. 😉
Take it easy.
Nice one Jefe mate, I can see we from the same era mate. No regrets but things move on ay mate.
Hey Wayno, l started smoking dope, cigarettes and drinking when I was 13 and wasted almost 40 years of my life in a stoned coma. A few years ago I stopped drinking and started gym 5 days a week. I used to smoke an ounce a week but now l only smoke a couple of joints a day, but that will stop soon. A natural life is a different buzz and l like it🙂
Hey Darren, thanks for sharing mate. Daaaamn an Oz a week! Well done for cutting back mate. I know what you mean about being in a Coma. That's what I felt like all the time.
@@WalkAboutWayne you've definitely turned your life around mate, good onya
What you said about not making big changes because it takes "effort" is true.
Cheers mate!
Great stuff mate you do what you wont to do life is to short take care mate.
Cheers David mate.
Great chat, Wayne. I think I probably mentioned way back on one of your early vlogs that I shared the same experience. When I was in my early 20's my friends and I would always laugh at the old guys in the club. Then one day, I realized I had become the old guy in the club. Like you, I took a look around and realized I no longer belonged there. That was the last time I've ever set foot in one. I think I was around 34 at the time. I wasn't much into smoking but I've had more nights where I don't remember what happened due to alcohol than I care to admit. Glad you came out of it all and cleaned your life up as have I. Keep up the good work.
Mate, this is 100% me! Even down to the age. 😅
Yes, I know what you mean mate. I was turning into the oldest swinger in town 🤣. Tha KS for sharing buddy
Your an inspiration Wayne wakeup this morning and I relly enjoyed listening to this
Thanks man! 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne hi Wayne can u recommend a good area in CM to stay with 2 toddlers where I hav access to all the food markets and places i can get breakfast also preferably all the awesome street food i love watchin on yt, me and my family is visiting late 2024, I will let you know when we do if your available we would love to meet and say hello also...
@@rustythelegend2225 Probably Nimman or Santitham if you want all the above in walking distance. Santitham will have everything and Nimman will also have most things but with a western feel.
Amazing video mate. Been there done it too ok. Yer your heart on yer sleeve you told it all. Brilliant 👏 👏. This video should be used as a masterclass for the Zs. Look learn and most of all listen to all of us lot who've gone before. Thanks Wayne !
Thanks buddy!
A few more things happen to come to mind after pondering you closing words Wayne, that resonate stumbling along the path of life and with a project that aimed to help other stumble to a better place, and if it might be helpful, I'd be up for banding about possible subjects that might be something to touch on that could be of benefit to others looking to escape The Comfort Zone.
Cheers Jack! Sure, my ears are always open for suggestions.
Nothing wrong with a couple of beers or a joint.
I don’t like being drunk though.
I feel very much the same as you though, when I came to Chiang Mai earlier this year for a couple of months I drank bugger all and was happiest being sober and having the Occasional joint at night. Getting shitfaced is a young man’s game and is quite often just a symptom of an unfulfilled path.
Usually in Australia I smoke a lot more weed and drink more to ease the pain of working and the general feeling of emptiness that being here brings.
Can’t wait to move their full time next year , take care man, I hope we can meet and have a chat one day.
Cheers, take care man, love your vlogs and your honesty.
Well done mate
Be happy!!!!
Cheers buddy!
Spot on m8 the buzz of life waking up with a clean head nothing better 👍🏻🎄🎅Merry Christmas buddy
Nice one mate! Happy Christmas buddy 👍
Hitting 50 next yr and given up drinking, quite weed 4yrs ago, starting to get back into training and eating a bit healthier.. know what ya mean mate.. been there done that with the party days... just prefer chill, peace and quiet, nice sunshine, great food and good company these days!!!
Nice one Mark, thanks for sharing. Keep at it buddy
Thanks for mentioning Kev In Thailand.He was the first vlogger I followed and watched vat least 3 years of him right to the end. Love your vlogs mate, especially this one as it sounds like you're talking about me.
I loved Kev-in Thailand, he was one of the first vloggers I watched. Sad when when he past away :(. Thank you.
BROTHER YOU SEEM LIKE A STAND UP KINDA GUY, THE BEST IN GOOD BLESSINGS, GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS,...COFFEES ON ME MATE...FROM USA , PEACE EVERYONE !!.....GREEN TEA AS WELL !!..👍
Thanks buddy, appreciate it 🙏
Real interesting Wayne . I can relate although in opposite . I missed out on youth as i had a mortgage as a teenager , when my mates were clubbing & pubbing . Mid 30's i had a year off to TH . Started drinking at first dark ,stopped at 7/8am , slept all day . Wash , rinse & repeat .The block of black (lebanese) forgetfully going through X- ray in my hand luggage at CM International is something i would rather forget . Like yourself mate , i'm now clean & in a far better place
Hey Ronny, thanks for sharing this mate. Daaaamn that was lucky man. Thanks
great vid bro. I feel the same way. being sober is a whole trip in itself. thanks for being so open and honest. Is the good farang still making vids, haven't heard from him in ages
Thanks buddy! Paul "The Good Farang" is back in Ireland now. Not doing videos but he's still on Instagram.
great positive share
Thanks 🙏
I’m starting to feel the same Wayne, we’ve talked before how I used to come down your way for the Legend and omnitech nights and stay with Paul Fry. Still have the odd dabble but same in that I wanna enjoy the fresh mornings and not be coming down on a Monday morning.
We grow up eventually I guess… I’m not quite there but close 😂
I’m in Chiang Mai March/April so will have to grab a green tea 👍
Hey buddy, yes I remember chatting about that. Losing Paul was a factor in me moving over here too. Give me a shout if your in Chiang Mai in the future 👌
Cool man , I’m retired and it’s the absolute best time of life by far. Grateful for every day and every day is the best day ever.
Good to hear buddy 👍
Youre definitely livin a better life than your first life. I understand the things you are saying. Enjoy your new life.
Thanks buddy 👍
Couldnt relate more Wayne. My wife and I are moving to CM in a few weeks. Long time coming. Keep rising early and training mate, best high ever i reckon. Keep pushing these honest vlogs mate, great stuff.
Thank you Mike, hope to see you around Chiang Mai buddy.
I love the collective awakening that’s happening right now. Glad you’re part of it now. We’re trying to relocate to Thailand too. No partying here either. I’m 61 and look 50 because I stopped all the elements of destruction back in college. Love my life in Thailand and are working on getting a retirement visa. Stay well. Love the peace of Thailand and now free I feel there. Keep enjoying life.
Thank you for the great comment 👍
Cool video mate - yes we can totally relate to the big nights out , many weekends - I’ve slowed down a lot - I probably have 2 beers a year and enjoy my time alone - people need to travel more - Happy Days 👌👍😃👋🙏
Nice one Ant 👌
Growing up its more peaceful living in the countryside than the city. I'd rather spend walking time in nature than partying. I really love watching your vlogs as someone who plans to live there very soon.
Thanks for watching the vlogs. I agree, I prefer the countryside over the city.
Funny thing is that I came to Thailand (Chiang Mai about 10 years ago and have been back a few times since and it was the chill and cheap lifestyle in which I did not have to sacrifice anything for that was important to me. So I vowed to retire there. I doubt I will ever be a clever digital nomad or such, so it is 7 years to retire.
I tell people about this and people presume I want to party and or get into the bargirl scene. I am not about that at all.
I want to chill, go to the gym and maybe get a couple of interests/hobbies. Relax, get fit and have a very quiet time of things
Chiang Mai is perfect for the chill lifestyle. Yes, I agree, everyone assumes we come to Thailand for the partying. It's the total opposite for me. Thanks Ross.
@@WalkAboutWayne Yes, the other thing they presume is I will try to find a wife. I really do not understand this either. I have been divorced 20 years and not bothered finding another wife here, why would I seek out a wife in a foreign country I have less in common with?
20 years alone has me very used to my own company.
People have strange ideas.
I really look forward to making my way there. Who knows, if you are still there I may see you around?
My life experience has been very similar. My vices are now palm trees, mountain views, ocean and beach walks, great food, drinking from coconuts. I have maybe two beers a week or one whiskey, but for the most part I just want to get outside and enjoy the Thai culture.
Sounds like you got a good life man. I'm hoping to be in Hua Hin again soon 👍
I like 2 beers and then that's it. It is tricky going to Thailand and not getting caught up in the drinking to excess thing, then wake up feeling like crap and doing that most every night for a month. Good for you Wayne to do it how you feel! I also saw Steady Eddy video on how he stopped drinking and felt a lot better. He's back in Thailand now I think and hope he's doing good.
Nice one Dave, that's about my limit, a few beers. I watch Ed sometimes, didn't relish he was back in Thailand already. Thanks.
As an older 90's Rave DJ from the San Francisco scene, I still make music and put tracks out on labels, but going out left me long ago. I really appreciate your thoughts and totally relate. I'm moving to Pattaya in Febuary to live. looking forward to a new life, new beginnings, new goals. Thank You.
Nice! Great to hear from US rave DJ. I loved all the US house music , that's what influenced the UK scene. I use to love when the US guys came over, Frankie Bones, Joey Beltram Derick May. Hope the move to Pattaya goes well 👍
Hope I run into when I'm there. I'm in a wheelchair and my name is Erik. See ya round the way!
Good on ya mate.
Thanks John 👍
I understand you very well.
I m 48y yes we grow up defferent than those days.
I went partying every weekend when am young😅.
Now I like defferent night life more relaxed like restaurants or wine bar stay relaxed.
I don't like to go out in bars where they go young people .
I would like to come thailand ,I think chiang mai is my place too.
I m talking from videos I so.
Nice, hope you can come to Chiang Mai soon.
I’ll have to get over there and have a cuppa tea with ya m8
I always like a nice cuppa tea mate.
Will be up there end of January mate. You need any Tetley's brought over lol
Nice one Steve! I get my Ty-Phoo online now buddy, so all is good. Thanks mate 🙂
Good on you mate.
Thanks buddy 🙂
Great vlog man! I'll be putting down the hammer soon...
Nice one man!
I love the town I live in, it doesn't have any bars, and I don't miss it at all. Been there and done it all as a kid and in the armed forces. Now is the time to really enjoy life without intoxication!
Sounds perfect Joe 🙏
Wayne have you ever thought how much money you went through on weekends during your partying phase? The main thing is you enjoyed yourself. I've always liked going out to pubs but not so much the nightclub scene. I don't know how people hear one another in crowded noisy places. You've done a total 180 with your current lifestyle in Chiang Mai. I guess we all change with age but your transformatio is a bit more dramatic than mine. Good to see a more personal video from you.
I dread to think how much I spent Doug. As you mentioned, it's all part of the journey I guess. 👍
It’s called growing up.
100%
There seems to be a few that choose this path according to the comments. It's a shame we can't make a group for like minded people living in Chiang Mai. I've been here 3 years and not ever found anyone I can relate to. Drink seems to be the hub of which most people revolve around. Thai women love men that don't drink!
I think most of the non drinkers here stick to themselves. I meet the same sort of people in the parks and food courts at night. Thanks for sharing .
There is no way i want to go back to my youth, massive hangovers and too much puff puff. i do wish i had traveled and not got hooked up so early. Guys stay single till you are 30 or even remain single, the world is turning to shite!!! especially in the west.
Me too, I wouldn't want to go back and do it all again.
It’s called getting older and smarter 😂 and yea good to have a drink or a smoke now and again what your doing now much better
Nice one buddy!
Watch it Wayne or you will have a life as boring as mine, 555. Except I never had the fun you did as a young dude. I was just always cautious and safe and boring. Thanks for another good video. Take care.
I'm sure your life isn't that boring Randy. Thank you buddy.
think it's been 19 years since I was at a bar in phuket, it's not fun anymore for me either
👍👍
I went out last night and had a date I actually couldn’t find a quiet pup Wayne I didn’t 😂 it was Saturday night all the Young people in there 20s. I enjoy the quiet life God willing if I am healthy in a few years time I will be taking a leaf out of your book waiting for my children to be independent
Always room for a night out Robert, as long as your happy ☺️
Same happened to me mate either was just out one nite and thought I am bored of this shit I lived from uk and moved to Canada currently in uk and moving to Thailand in two years I love Thailand it has everything amazing food people and places
I will never forget that night in the club, I put the drink down and went home. Hope the Thailand move goes well buddy. Hope to see you around.
Find a nice area to live, a few good people, stay fit and pursue an interest. Most of the stuff people work so hard for and spend tons of money on are not really useful or necessary.
Very true 👍
It's not easy here anymore Wayne you need to take out a loan to get passes in a pub these days
I did hear, the prices in pubs are sky high back home now.
Agree, I am 43 old man from Hong Kong, and I am party animal and sex machine too between 1997 to 2015, on my 20~33. but now I don't like go place with noise and many peoples. And I thought finding soul mate is not easy when getting old, especially in Thai , mostly base on money, not trusted.
Sounds like you had a great life during them 13 years 🤣. I tend to stay away from noise now also. Thanks
👍😎
🙏🙏👍
I was the same on my last trip minimal bars, and when I went, I was completely bored there even with chatting to another farang there and the ladies, it was all just emptyness, in my 30's however I loved it, getting smashed and taking a puss home, but now, in my 50's I just can't be assed sinking all those beers and wasting time in bars with those pointless conversations, ok had a few massages here and there but that was it, spent most of my time travelling, food, and sightseeing and minimal booze and that is they key if I went over there coz that demon alcohol will kill you quick especially those disgusting Thai lagers so prevalent, I would hate to think how many chemicals they put in that trash, I love craft but its just too bloody expensive even here at home $13 for a 500m can, prefer a cup of tea mate. Stay sober, healthy and the buzz of life as you mentioned is far better.
Thanks for sharing buddy, great to read this comment.
The Good Farang!!! Whatever happened to that dude? Still in Samui with Jenny and the beagle maybe??
Paul is living back in Ireland, with Jenny 👍
It´s boring, just like any normal healthy lifestyle. Good on you mate, in my favorite thai city.
That's true mate. Thanks 👍
Your not likely to take to Spice then ;-) .Just saw a documentary about Manchester and the Spice epidemic .From your accent i detect the Birmingham /Coventry /Midlands locality ? .
Our man Wayne is a secret Yam Yam.
No No No, I'm a southern boy. Deep down in farmer land.
@@WalkAboutWayne Exactly what a yam yam would say 😉
Seen.that documentary. Its the end if you get stuck into that shit
The lucky ones grow out of it. Nothing sadder than a fifty-something who don’t realize he’s too old to keep doing the same things he did in his youth.
Oldest swinger in town 🤣.
You left an unfinished beer at the club, what a waste 😮
Best £3.60 I ever spent.
HOW DO WE GIVE YOU MONEY FOR COFFEE, ETC?
I have a link in the description of every video Charles. The link is also under my name on my channel. Thanks
And what's about settle down with a nice wife and get a family ?
Sure, if that's what makes you happy 😁
Im.43 now and quite happy not going on the lash anymore. Id hate to be doing the same shit i was 20 years ago. Your twenties are the time for the madness. Gets boring after that. Never been in to the wacky backy thankfully. See alot of the old boys with the heads gone from.years of it
Thanks for sharing, great to read what others think.
Honest vlogg , but you had to experience the drinking and partying to realise that's what you didn't want . Did you mean The dead farang , when mentioning the vloggers you used to watch . I still wonder what happened to him . Kev in Thailand much missed 😢
Thanks! Yes, everyone has to go through that youth stage. I did enjoy being young, I just prefer being middle aged. No, The Good Farang was a vlogger in Koh Samui, one of my favorite Thai vloggers. Thanks
Time waste not.

I never liked the bars even when young. Just boring staring at the drink and listening to the grumbling. Also the nasty stares. About the same in Thailand, except for the beautiful girls. So the guys spend their $ to come here to sit in bars and complain about a Thailand they never step outside to see. Strange.
True Robert, a lot of people are like that, for sure.
I’m hearing you loud and clear bro and doing the same have fun !
Nice one Mark mate.
Life’s a journey I guess .. glad you doing good Wayne 😎❤️
Cheers SImo.
