"sitting in bars 11 am drinking alone... and they don't really look happy" (с) 👍👍👍
100% spot on with the video mate alot of temptation in Pattaya and also can be a lonely place at times i guess most of the older blokes move to pattaya for the convenience of all the bars being close by
I’m guessing the guys in bars all day didn’t start off that way … alcohol is a sneaky drug that takes over when your not keeping it in check . And once it takes hold it’s extremely hard to break the habit .
Beats sat at home in the UK watching tv all day if retired!!!
I dont know why I watched this, as a completely non-drinking 50-something woman who's never heard of Pattaya, but I really enjoyed it 😊.
great vlog keis. So true about thee drinking and x pats. Its so scary how things can get out of control that's if you were ever in control of drinking. What you said is exactly what can and will happen. it starts at a few after work and ends up taking over your life. All you can think of is where is my next drink coming from and how do i pay for it. As you know keis i can say this because that was me 5 years ago and for me if i didn't change i would not be alive or in jail. Dont need to drink to have a great night.
Yeah man, I had been thinking about that since we met!
@@keisone Thanks mate.
I love this Video.
Keis 1(Mr.Adam) + Pattaya + Skateboard + His Friend + video editing = Great Jobs.👍✌️🍻
U got 4 things in Patt = Sea sand Sun and & Beers.😆😆✌️
I like your youthful exuberance to life here. Yes, the "Pattaya Flying Club" is real sadly. I was told on my first day at work here "booze and women will bring you undone". And true, it very nearly did. But I survived, somehow. I still like a few beers after knockoff, but I hold down a fulltime job as well and only go off reservation when guests are in town.
Great Advice & Tips To Make People Aware Of, Even If They Think They Have Things Under Control. Thank You!👍👍
Beer o’clock is always after 4 pm 🕓 Earlier than that is just asking for trouble! 🎉🎉😂
Hi there.
I c workouts in the gym are not really your thing but actually every condo in Pattaya/Jomtien has a gym and at least one pool. There are definitely options for staying in shape and living a (at least halfway) healthy lifestyle.
Anyway I love ur vids keep bringing that good work 👍🏽
You treated that good didn’t put shit on people but gave a nice heads up well done
There was a pair of Aussies that I saw drinking every morning by about 0730 in Jomtien every day for the two and a half months I lived there this year. They were at the same seat at noon when I'd be out for lunch as well. Every. Single. Day.
Getting good at saying "no" is the ticket.
Understand it mate, just here in Loei provence, and today was a drinking day, thai culture 😊 Anyhow, cheers mate, C Ya in the next one Adam , 🙌🍻
Days are expensive if you like it is
, depends mate 🙌🍻. It is how you live your life no matter what 🙏
Tonkatsu Kazan is my go to Ramen place in Bangkok. It's in the building on the corner of soi 23 (where little Italy restaurant is). Highly recommend if you haven't tried it.
Oh Yeah!? I will check it out for sure, thank you!
Thailand for Fun, Philippines for Love
My TEFL teacher from Cha Am was a JT alcoholic and unfortunately found out a few years down the road after I left Thailand had committed suicide just like you said. He was an expat from South Africa
Keisy got a point. I mean who wants to go to a bar 11ish with there mates and talk about the night before over a few cold ones when you can go skateboarding.
Different if ur on holidays.. but eeeeeeveey day?
90% of those dudes are alone anyway lol
I imagine the drinks are cheaper over there too.
See you in late July buddy ! Down a few drinks at Jibby's in LK Metro
Yea I had to leave Pattaya for Bangkok last week. Everything made me want a drink 😅 outskirts of Bangkok are much better.
I think being anywhere new (for an introvert like me), it can become challenging to make new friends without a bit of dutch courage. I haven't been to Pattaya before, however i can imagine it's a bit like Phuket, where you go for a week and then move on.
Nothing like Phuket. Phuket is far more diverse, in age demographic, natural beauty and things to do. Even Patong ( part of Phuket ) is more diverse.
bro its nothing like phuket. Best place in the world!
I agree with you on this, other youtubers also agree. My issue is that I will be arriving by, and living on my boat. Not sure if I can do that in Bangkok. Also Pattaya is the least expensive place to live in Thailand while Bangkok(and perhaps Phuket) are the most expensive.
at the end of the day, its all about self control, doesn't matter where you are 😊
@@keisone Yes, and I drink very little.

Hey Keis I'm here in Pattaya as well! Would love to meet you one day and hopefully get some insight about Chiang Mai!
Been here for 3 weeks already 🔥
It's boring, 2 days that's all.
Hi awesome video. So you wouldn’t recommend a recovering alcoholic/drug user go to Pattaya if he is three years sober?
Thailand has so much more to offer, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi..
There are better beaches and better cities really..
I speak as someone who only holidays there, however I can understand to some extent. A lot of people get addicted. On flip side, to see people jogging down beach road is often & the gyms are packed.
Regarding bars, on holiday I'll go in at may be 2PM until dinner, normally 7PM I guess & obviously back out.
On my first time went bar near Avani & drinks so cheap I'd be ashamed not to get a girl a drink. Admittedly do it loads it's daft, but a girl & mamazan in a bar is part & parcel, I'd be embarrassed not too,
For those two drinks as well as my own, it's costing me less than a pint I pay back in UK.
4 times now & each time at the end, I like to give to homeless people, tips to hotel cleaners & favourite bars / restaurants.
Living there I understand be different, depending on salary of course, but holiday wise I find I can't spend the spending money I bring.
Booked next a new 5 star hotel in centre Pattaya, near Robin Hood, close to Soi Buakhao. 2 weeks for £772 B&B in a deluxe double, it's awesome. Can't wait for Christmas & New Year
true and true
Sam showing up 45 minutes late tells me he should fit right into the thai life style #thaitime
Brother, the music is significantly louder (first half of the video) than your voice.
She's off to an early start - Green dress @03:06 !! must be short of money !
Golf trip? You told us car trip :P
If you don't do anything in life in moderation it will come to bite you in later life. But for people on here to jump on the pious wagon slating the people that drink in the morning just tells me they have little lives of their own and have never been to Thailand or spent very little time there but still become keyboard warriors. If they are enjoying themselves leave them alone, not everyone walks around with a coat hanger in their mouth for a permanent smile and everyone has their own hang ups. For some it's an outlet for conversation they don't get alone in the place they stay, they may have had lives you couldn't have even dreamed of or jobs that have taken them across the globe. Before you judge people get to know them and walk a mile in their shoes.
maybe that's what they want to do - retire after working hard - relax and drink beer
They probably think you are mad with ear pods in your ears carrying a skateboard
Can you let us know about the skydiving in Pattaya service would you recommend- I know random question but trying do as much thing than just drinking on vaca
I actually havent seen skydiving in Pattaya, Buzzin Pattaya did one of those motorised parachute rides though, check out his channel!
Most of the skydiving in Pattaya is done without a parachute
Keis you said FOMO, do you trade?
First yo Leshgoooo 🫣 Pattaya goes ok
Second my good man! But Sonny is a freak lol
@@keisone
Hahaha 🍻 🤖
Just discovered you today. Do you have a favourite sushi place in Pattaya?
I remember I went to an EDM event with a friend who had a heroin addiction (now dead sadly). He had the marks on his arm, and another person at the event who does MDMA, saw them and started talking trash about people who do heroin to me, saying he would use certain drugs but not that one.
When I use to gamble, I use to look down on people who did roulette machines, saying I would never go that far (despite losing way too much money on sports gambling).
My point is; people with addictions like to create a hierarchy in their mind to make themselves feel better about their vices. This is what this video is about. I would say you have an alcohol problem. You missed a flight because of alcohol.... You stream yourself drinking beer out of your shoe at 40 years old. Every social interaction you have is based around alcohol.
Like I use to do with gambling, and the random guy at the EDM event said about my friend with a heroin addiction. You make a story about other people to protect yourself and place yourself above them on the hierarchy to justify your actions. It's a good ego defence mechanism.
This is not meant to be an attack, but my observations as someone who use to be heavily addicted to gambling but been clean for 2 years. I also kicked the alcohol habit. Life has been a lot more stable since, also a lot less money worries.
Nice try, I just did a 14 day detox, no drinking, exercising and intermittent fasting.. was a breeze..
It more so looks like ur looking for a way to put me down, but that was a miss haha
Better luck next time champ 👍
No money no honey as one bargirl told me
Sheenas in a goth gang!
but the air is terrible in Bangkok ............
wtf does that have to do with anything?
It's now proven that alcohol is a poison slowly killing you indeed... That's why there's a big trend on alternative non-alcoholic drinks (kombucha, ginger, mocktails, smoothies, etc...)
I know a lot of guys in Pattaya who don’t drink much who are into the gym ,
Most of these guys are into bed fairly early and train in the morning and might have one night a week of a few drinks
Good positive video mate
Great video! I’m actually a Pattaya TH-camr who hardly drinks and my last video was mostly about how to make friends here outside the drinking culture. I’ve also been talking about mental health in Pattaya recently quite a bit.
While BKK definitely offers more, there’s plenty in town for sober (and mostly sober) people here. For me personally, the beach makes me happy and as long as I’m living outside of town (in Kasetsin Pratumnak currently) I’m loving everyday. I’m retired but everyone of my days is full. 🙏🏼
Ah awesome, yeah thats a great point, and why I also stay Pratumnak sometimes. I always miss the beach in Bangkok, thats why I am always down 😊
Watched that last vid of yours Pete, spot on and had lots of helpful tips. Really glad all of this content is available for me to help make the best decisions for my upcoming move. I am lucky that I already have family in Thailand, but they're out in the country area near Khan Kaen. I'm coming from Sacramento, CA and def looking forward to actually being able to afford living by the beach for once. Beachfront property is far from reasonably priced here in California, hell, anything is far beyond reasonable here anymore. $1500 MINIMUM for a crappy 1 bedroom apartment these days. Hence why I am leaving.
I will be staying in Bangkok for a week, either of ya'll have some "must see/do" ideas? Would be much appreciated. Keep up the good work folks!
@@OneJame Keis would be the one with the BKk info… I still haven’t spent a night in the city yet.
Take a ferry up the river, that’s always fun.. if you can stay in a hotel on a high floor or visit a rooftop bar somewhere, it’s great to get a good view to see just how big and crazy this city is 😊
What's the best way to hire an experienced expat travel agent type, or trusty free lancer to set up a 3 month trip to Thailand, with possible multiple extensions?
I have your attitude and I'm not looking to sexpat party or drink. I did all that back in Thailand in the 80s-90's.
Also, who to stay away from in the travel business.
Anybody?
Great video. True a lot of old men sit in bars all day drinking beer.
They have enjoyed their lives, can not go exploring, or do not want to.
They seem happy doing this in a better enviroment than in the west.
I am english and more or less do the same here !
When retirement comes I willl happily join them in pattaya.
Seems a cheaper option also.
Couldn't have put that better, 100 percent,
When i was Bangkok for 2 months i kept myself busy with Muay Thai,photography, exploring the city and meeting new people i kept a nice routine going yea I partied here and there but i liked waking up refreshed and ready for the day instead of being hungover
Dude
You literally said this 😂😂😂
Iam trying to cut down on carbs in my food, I want my carb consumption to come from beer..
😂😂😂
Haha yeah, but not every day! Lol
Ya know, I remember last year when you were saying "I might look at a place in pattaya" and at the beginning of the year I was wondering why you never pulled that trigger. Then I spent three months in Pattaya from February to late April. I get it. Boy, do I get it. It's not just the issues with party culture, either. There's the boredom. There Is plenty to do in the surrounding areas around Pattaya, but man, if you're just staying local and not drinking constantly, it gets BORING. I'm a gamer, so the GLP eSports cafe helped quell my temptations with GTA Online and Forza Horizon 5, thankfully.🤣🤣
Haha. I hear you. In my hotel room I had a guitar amp, stereo, electric n acoustic guitar and chipped PlayStation 2. When I finally went back to England I just left the amp n stereo there. God my neighbours must have hated me 😂 I was at the age where I didn't give a shit though.
Adam not just Thailand, having holidayed in Tenerife, Spain etc plenty of expat alcoholics there albeit not so many.
Its not just Thailand but all these places expats retire to see them all just drinking all day ... i suppose as the saying goes you got to watch wot you wish for cus you mite just get it 😂
I dislike Pattaya... But I love living in Jomtien. They are different worlds.
A lot of the older Australian men choose to live in Pattaya/ Jomtien because they can't afford to live in Australia.
There is plenty to do other than partying in pattaya-like playing golf,fishing,exercising,bike riding,arts & crafts.Some people are just boring & dont have any hobbies besides getting drunk everyday 🙄
Alcohol takes up so much of body energy...i reduced it a lot .....i have more energy in morning time and full day to do more activities.....
Hey There,
I agree. Always have a few good friends that Do Not drink booze.
I go a bit crazy on my 27-day debauchery-bad boy exploits once or twice a year.
BUT - When I retire in the heart of Pattaya. I will pretend I am a crazy tourist on The first Friday or Saturday of every month. Know your limit drink within it.
What was the name and location of that Ramen restaurant where you and Sam ate at? I've only been to Ippudo which is my favorite place for Ramen (located on the bottom floor of Central Festival Mall)
Can you do a video on golf in pattaya/thailand?
Good take and important discussion. Thailand has so much to offer which includes activities that over the long run may not be particularly good for long term physical or mental health. The upside is there are just so many opportunities to move outside of that "transactional" relationship you mentioned. There is still adventure awaiting those willing to push themselves away from their beer bar stool and move even slightly outside of their norm/comfort zone.
3:06 Was that girl in green holding the white umbrella a freelancer? I didn't know freelancers came out that early
True !! Good video. The hat u wear is a great city to skate in . Great weather also . I know was born there and skated pools there in late 70s early 80s. Ur right thats a great area right in front of view talay 3 on that strip (dongtan) between yinmon and jomtien. AA clubs in jomtien and right by treetown 😀Up to You !!
Manila filled with ex pats that drink daily. Most of the heavy hitters are Australian but they are fun to party with 😊
I never get bored in Pattaya. Just have to have a night in sometimes to recuperate.
When I was visiting Pattaya often, I would never drink during the day. Yes, I would drink all night (no curfew in those pre-internet days), but that would mean getting to bed late, getting up late (middayish), having a long, lazy breakfast, followed by a swim. If I was up earlier, I might go to a beach further down the coast or some tourist spot. Or just walk around Pattaya, have a coffee, READ (books, papers, etc.) and in the old days go bowling. Even though Pattaya has always been intense, I always tried to slow down time to a very relaxing level. Perhaps most importantly, the transactional relationships have changed for the worse. Girls just see men as cash machines. In the old days, they'd be your girlfriend for as long as you wanted (yes, they were 'compensated'). Things were pretty chilled out; no pressure. I still love Pattaya, but it's very much a business town rather than a laid-back r'n'r town now.
110%
💥💢💫
I used go pattaya 1 month at a time drank everyday it gets out a control now i only go 2 weeks at a time its not so crazy now im back August cant wait
Only you can be happy 24 hour a day. Can’t fallow you already drunk half way 🤪🍺
Temptations for sure , I’m in northern bkk as you know , I’m quite disciplined , I rarely drink and have a slow way of things I try to structure a bit too ..
Do video riding your skateboard from the top of soi 5 to the bottom.!!!
I only go to Pattaya when I'm on vacation because that's what I'm there for... to drink and party with friends who are there for the same reasons. I do plan on retiring in Thailand, but I probably won't live in Pattaya... perhaps Hua Hin?
I generally do 6 weeks in Thailand. Even thou it is a holiday I still try not to drink until after 7pm...do gym and walk around eat etc meetups during the day...routine is the go... I also see the expat guys routine is drinking... Not good 🤔☕
Wow food for thought , I will retire next year and Thailand will be a part of my yearly plan and what you discussed has been on my mind ! I am smart and wise enough to live well . Hope this helps someone think about there life plan ! Thanks , enjoy .... Cheers , LOL 555
I'll be there in the end of July show me around im happy to be in your vids
I seen you today when walking at Thong Lo station 👍
In the words of Alan car-easy way to stop drinking. “Imagine bragging about how much self control one has when it comes to eating carrots, only every now and then.”
I had a chat with you and Sam when he first came.
Had a chat on SOI Buakhao.
I'd just arrived a few days earlier and I was going to hard for someone my age .🎉😂.
Had the hangover from hell a few days later. And put on the brakes.
Chilling out on the islands riding bikes and meeting locals at the moment. Having a great time.
Actually on a legit "golf trip" here...haha. The early morning tee times are a bit of a challenge so I go out early and keep it to just a few beers the night before. Cheers!!
Yeah alcohol is a big problem there's a lot of expats that go down that Wormhole and they don't get out of it I've never found any use for alcohol myself but there's a lot of people that do and they have to spend their money on it it's one of those expenses that it seemed the very unnecessary I can see maybe smoking on a little bit of God green here in there but that's about all I would never go there foreign country and getting drunk and do all that stuff just not me I like to be aware of my surroundings cuz you grow up in the hood you never know what the hell's about to pop off next and specially if you're going to a foreign country you never know what's about to pop off
Absolutely no no surprise to me to see people drinking at 11 AM in Pattaya.Keyboard great 24/7 in Pattaya’s Home of cheap hotels, drinks and perfect ladies. 1 Word Outstanding
So where's that lil park at there ? I know of the the others, one in the middle of the streets, and the one on the north beach.
I went to Maple in BKK. Was that pipe n bowl there when you were there ?
I well say if you stay in Pattaya ,you don’t have to go on the bar all the time there are so many place you can go and eat and drink to .but you have to not go the same place all time .when you eat .there is many others restaurants where many Thai’s go 😜😜
I drink everyday. But usually not hard to the wall. Extra calories to help me run twice a day. One at lunch after a morning run. 2-3 after the evening run with the training partners. I mostly run mountain trails and I love. Thai jungles so for me it’s Chiang Mai and koh Chang if it’s burn season. Koh Chang is more older kind of expats at white sands but Chiang Mai there are heaps of younger digital nomads. Nimman particularly with Old City mote of a chance to need the older - somewhat more negative lonely boys Lots of people to learn from. In HK we have a lot of suicide amongst expats atm in HK. I came across a body hanging couple of months back on a trail run at night - which was trauma.more so the police follow up. Keep it chill brass
Tell it like it is to the older generation. There is always something better to do than drinking & fornicating. One can lead to stupid decisions & an early death & the other you can experience great exotic diseases. Natural way of living & finding true love is the best way.
You are livin the dream! less drinking more skating and some partying with the babes by the beach! What? And with the bike you were talking about the other night, man I am seriously envious, sorry, inspired, seriously inspired by your fantastic life choices right now! Another awesome video too.
Great vid mate, I'm hearing you on the one drink turns into many hahahah 😂😂
This has been one of your best videos yet, just being out there doing some skating and spitting real talk. Good work. ✌
Adam, where exactly is that spot you are at in the end of the video ??
That’s pratumnak beach 😊
Hey on your suggestion I went to that Ramen spot Ozawa was pretty damn good!! However Chabuton in Terminal 21 was amazing as well, mostly because they had Ramen and sides i never seen before even the Ramen spots in Tokyo didn't have the little dishes that Chauton had. Just a Ramen FYI. Also as you seen before I made fun of a ton of those old white men with young chicks in a ton of your past videos but after meeting them all of them were super nice. it was fun listening to them complain about how expensive each of their home countries are and how Europe is going to hell in a handbasket haha
Oh Nice, yeah I have had similar interactions with the guys and they are always friendly..
Very on point. Been here nearly a year. 20 years in Tokyo was enough big city for me. Got a job and a steady girl (not from a bar) and a place in the far end of Jomtien, nice and quiet. Those old guys sitting in the bars early really need a hobby, if you engage with them you're likely to hear their life story and how some (bar) girl took all their money🤣🤣🤣
Hey Keis! Another great video from you. I will be coming to Bangkok in August/September for 30 days. I will meet a lovely lady I met online and spend time with her. I haven't traveled in years and it will be my first trip to Thailand, so excited! I am not into sitting in a bar all day or crazy nightlife, but my girlfriend said she will take me to Khao San road one evening, haha. I want to visit some of the beautiful temples and other sights and as I am also an old skateboarder, I want to check out the Bangkok skatescene. I stopped skating almost 10 years ago but still love the culture. I will be staying in the Pin Klao area, close to where my girlfriend lives and works - It will be a trip of a lifetime!
Awesome mate, sounds like you are in for a hell of a trip!! Enjoy 😊
When u entered the 7/11 u sadly did not say hello to "Miss YAKULT" 😅 For thais the YAKULT driver is a bit like Santa Claus for us (farangs) 😊😅😅😅
I like Pattaya but chose Bangkok for a lot of the same reasons. It’s still challenging to turn off vacation mode in Bangkok, would probably be near impossible for me to do in Pattaya.
hahaha exactly!
Wise words mate. Been there n done that. How the night life gets you is by staying up a bit later n later then before you know it ,your going to bed at 7 in the morning and getting up around 4pm. get something too eat then back in the bars. Once your in that cycle its real hard to break. I did try to break the cycle but you could always hear the night life outside your hotel. However, if you have a little job and a mrs with you its a fantastic place to live. Cheap, hot and friendly. Jackpot.
Good video Adam 😊
Thanks for the vids- keep up the good work!
FOMO..it exists..i did 4 months around Bangkok and Thailand last year..only stayed in 4-5nights,due to illness or exhaustion..but i was clawing the walls on those nights.😄
Temptation is everywhere, the key is some kind of moderation. It’s tough in a place like Pattaya where there’s a bar/go go bar literally on every corner.
I personally avoid bars and if you have to buy drinks you need to know they are not friends. Bangkok has so many things to see and do you should never get bored. I personally dont like big cities but now being in Bangkok a week ago I get what you mean and ai love the city and the convenience of the transportation system. One down side is it seems to take almost an hour to get anywhere around the city.
When was this filmed? I thought it was raining season there....
Great advice Adam. I wanted to find a way a reason to go to Pattaya for the second time. The problem is I'm getting married soon and I hope to have a guys trip/fun before I hop the gate.
I wouldn't be able to live in Pattaya either...
Nice video just hung out with cb media there last weekend for a few hours😎
Oh nice, Chad is a legend!
