Highs & Lows of living in Asia Webby. I felt the same after 7 years in China. Accidents happen, and you survived mate. My very general advice: 1. Bars maximum twice a week. 2. Subscriber meetup: Do lunch or coffee. Too easy to turn into 10 beers. 3. Gym or walk 2x a week. 4. Expand your channel topics. 5. Maybe change apartments for a fresh start, if feasible. 6. Do 200-300b days, or at least one day with no spending per week. Don't overcompensate the next day though.
I lived in jomtien for 2 years and it can be very lonely place once novelty of going to bars every day and if you don’t have a Thai girlfriend and your mates aren’t visiting you, you can kind feel a bit trapped in your condo and very lonely at times
Very good advice 👍👍 1 Day funday, 2 days relax/gym/chill, 1 Day fun day, 2 days relax/beach/gym/Chill, repeat.....👍 Its also easy to have pretty good days in Pattaya/Jomtien if you do some walking and find the good spots. I love your list Richard, very good advice👍👍
I spent today 200ft up on a Scottish building site in the damp and cold, the wind felt like it would cut me in half. The only thing that gets me out of bed in these kind of days is the dream of sitting right there on a balcony in Thailand. Hope you feel better soon, don’t be sad about being down from time to time. Especially when your cut and bruised with pain. Never forget you are living the dream thousands of us wish we had. Thanks for the videos, hopefully I get to meet you one day for a good chinwag
Though I love Thailand I can't see myself living there. I visit twice a year for a month each time and personally the party life gets kinda old after a couple of weeks. Go out drink, hang out with bar girls wake up with a stranger rinse and repeat. In the daytime wander around town like a lost cause and again, rinse and repeat. If you don't find a hobby or, and a proper spouse Thailand can be brutal.
Its the boredom. Very self destructive in a crazy place like pattaya. Need to have some kind of discipline and do other stuff besides women and beer. Its easy to spot alot of western men have succumbed to the madness and developed serious mental health issues
Gotta remember, "Paradise is a state of mind". If you're not right mentally, doesn't matter where you are, depression and anxiety can easily kick in. Also remember, alcohol is a poison, definitely needs to be done in moderation, else it'll fuck you up, physically, mentally and financially. Take care.
You are so right about alcohol being "poison". I think all beer, wine & spirit bottles should have the scary "skull and cross-bones" logo prominently featured.
This is my first time watching webby. I think you will feel much better by Lowering your expectations! I get most bummed out when things don't turn out the way I thought or wanted them to. Here in Pattaya...I have zero control! I just have to roll with the punches as they say. My advice to you based upon what you said is a couple of things: Lay off on the drinking! That can absolutely destroy you here in Pattaya! I'm lucky there as I'm a full blown alcoholic who has recovered from that sick disease and have enjoyed continuous sobriety now for 6 1/2 years. I also put together 6 of those years before I moved here. Now a real important one: Do Not Take These Girls Too Seriously...because they are NOT taking You seriously! Another tip is: Whenever you get on a motor-scooter-Wear A Helmut! Good Luck Brother!
Pattaya can give you a rollercoaster of emotions. Lots of highs and plenty of lows. Love your honesty. It helps people in the same boat by talking about the lows as well as the highs.
Sorry to hear about the bump Webby, thanks for sharing some of your vulnerable side here buddy. It's fascinating to see the highs and lows of life over there.
I’m so sorry Webby to hear about your terrible accident. Look after yourself and I really hope you will make a speedy recovery ❤️🩹. Focus on your channel Mate I think you’re doing absolutely a great job. Stay away from the bars every day. I been here for 2 weeks already and is very toxic and addictive environment. Pattaya is a wonderful place but I totally understand what you mean..! You get up and downs but pretty much like everywhere else. I rather be here than bloody freezing 🥶 and boring England 🏴. Love your Videos Webby. Get well soon Mate 🙏🙏🙏
Appreciate your honesty Webby! Take extra care when riding around! My mate from Swansea died out there in a motorbike accident 2 years ago! I think seeing your daughter will hopefully really cheer u up!x
So sorry to hear about your crash. I understand how it has made you feel and when away from family and friends always a bit harder to deal with. I love Pattaya and you know even at home you can have up and down days. The beauty for you is that you are in paradise. As you say Eat well, don't drink excessively but also mate add in some excercise for good mental health. Keep well and keep smiling
just subscribed, well played for speaking out when u feel low, we all get it too, sounds like a cracking idea to meet up with subscribers to give you some more quality social life. Ive travelled on my own sometimes and it can be tough , u sometimes wish your best mates were with you, keep talking and Ill keep watching mate, your not alone, stay in the game things always get better :)
Just found your channel mate , subbed. I am starting my expat life this year, see you in a few months , take care and chin up brother. If you haven’t yet, go to Chiang Mai mate for a cruise and a relax, it’s a better vibe.
Good times in Pattaya a few years back! I have just discovered your channel and your content is some of the best. You are a very honest and courageous man don’t forget that. This too will pass. I speak from experience. Keep up the good work! 😎
Keep your head up Steve there’s always ups and downs in life we just have to roll with them.Remember your not just living your life in paradise but living a small part of ours for us.Keep up the good work
Great to see you today in Kungs this morning mate. I agree with your points here but I do think its good to get back to Europe for a break so you can then miss living in Thailand and plan on returning✌️. I am here 6 weeks now and I do find it has got more expensive compared to other years. Hope you heal up soon. Your girl is a stunner btw today👊 Damien from Cork City.
10:07 Glad to see you are ok after the motorbike accident could of been worse remember any day above ground is a bonus I love that chang beer shirt is it a soccer strip mate ? also your monthly budget is nice your lucky you don't have to pay for having your girlfriend like most expats that have a Thai girl live with them most want something if they want to have their parents take care of their child your a legend mate take care thank you for your honesty ❤😊 God 🙏 Bless you and the missus
Just subscribed, so got a backlog to watch. Take care mate, its cold and wet here in Blighty, so I'm looking forward to returning to Thailand later this year! Do not forget, you are living the life for all of your followers!😊
Bad luck on your accident don’t worry about feeling down everyone does now and again . Keep producing the honest no holds barred content it’s what makes you different and will help build your channel with people who will stay loyal to you . Remember it’s good to talk .
Hope you feel better soon! It maybe worth a good think about getting away from Pattaya. It is like moving to USA to live and choosing vegas. It will get ya in the end. Udon Thani, Khon Kaen still have the night life but a bit more chilled. That’s a lot of money you spend too! I spend that in the UK! If the Thai’s can live on vastly less so can we. Don’t burn out! Deep breath, nice beer and get back on track buddy! Best wishes.
Hi mate, get well soon ! It is normal to get ups and downs in life wherever you are. But, it is not normal to drag it too long as it could become habitual. Please change your thoughts and change your destiny by meditating and positive thinking and you will surely see immediate results. By the way, your accent reminds me of my good days in the Poly of Wales at Treforest in Pontipridd. Keep strong brother 💪 Cheers ✌️✌️🇴🇲
I traveled a lot in my life and it was great but in the end we all want a compatible partner to share our life and experiences with. Having good times is fun and i also had my very wild episode in Thailand 😅 BUT in the end i was suprised i wanted to go back to have a Stable genuine relationship to Enjoy life together. Thank you for keeping it real 👌
Tourists will never believe this but Pattaya can be a very lonley place. All your family are in your home town so are your real friends. Sure you have drinking buddies and short term girlfriends but it's all very shallow. I suffered the same loneliness and sense of isolation when I lived there a few years ago
This is why i would never live in a holiday town again, you get bored of the place,keep Pattaya for living it large for a few weeks but live somewhere else,i lived in chaweng on samui for three years and ended up hating the place
Stay strong webby, you had a bad accident and get well soon, mentally and physically , anything you are going through at the moment will pass, just enjoy your life and take every day as a blessing. Your Daughter will be over soon which will help, You are better off staying in Thailand, I admire you for staying out the bars, good luck with your relationship and I hope to see you back to your bright and cheery self shortly.
Hey 😊 I love how you are just honest 😊 well done for showing you are a amazing person 😊 I don’t know you personally but, everyone tells me my gut instinct is good. And, sir you from the very start since watching you have so much heart and beautiful soul. You will get better soon. Really not to long ago you where very sick and had to fly back to the uk ! Now you are in a different situation. Always love ❤️
I’ve always thought Pattaya is ok for a few days. Then head south to an island of your choice, my favourites are koh Chang, koh Samui & koh phanghan. For me it’s the reason to travel to Thailand I.e stunning views and beaches
If you haven't already been to cebu in the Philippines. Go there you won't be lonely. You can stay 3 years on a tourist visa. This is my 6th trip to pattaya in 18 months I have a flight booked for 8 weeks in March / April but I'm definitely not coming back. You can meet ladies in the Philippines who's first words aren't 2000 Bhat. Try it.
Webby.....that is the best video you've done..true and honest...i hope your mood improves over the next few days. Good days ..bad days all part of life living in Thailand..🙏🙏🙏😀
Sorry to hear about your recent misfortune. Hope you are on the mend quickly. I got very ill a couple of years ago, right in the middle of Covid. I ended up in hospital for weeks on end and it got pretty touch-and-go as to whether I was going to make it. I didn't have anyone around me and I spent a lot of time just laying there in pain and feeling pretty sorry for myself. Some good did come of this though as months later I realised that things could definitely be worse, that I could put up with occassional bleak period and the bad times don't last forever. You'll get through this and be better for it.
Good advice concerning motorbikes. I rarely use them. I'm in Bangkok and I usually walk, take the sky train or subway. That also allows me to avoid the irritation of traffic jams.
I’ve been here since September…you jus got a roll with it…don’t think to hard & respect your time. Everything’s fine jus take everything with a pinch of salt…life’s great here if you’re strong enough. Best of luck mate ..hope to see you around & get you a Bacon Sarnie & a mug of tea..take it easy…jus be careful out there..!! 👍
Hiya Webby ,sorry to hear about your accident mate.You are W W W. Wild Wicked and Welsh.Head up and enjoy. We are out in Hua Hin at the end of March.We are popping over to Pattaya for a night or two give you a buzz then.
Hi Webby, I just subbed as you suggested. I just got back to Aus from my two month stay at Pratumnak, nice to hear the kawaw bird in the background while you were chatting. During my two months I slipped and did the splits on a wet slippery balcony, took me a week to get somewhat better. Then I got food poisoning from a local wine and puked and shat myself for a week. After that I got gastric flu and spent another week in bed without eating. So, I understand why you're feeling a bit down because I nearly flew home early. The upshot of this story is that about two weeks after recovering from all of the above I really perked up and started enjoying myself. Anyhow, I'm making a trip back to Wales in May/June and then I'm in Jomtien for about a month or more after that in July/August. If you're there I would love to meet up for a beer and a chat. I grew up in Pontardulais, not far from you by the sound of your accent. Always happy to bump into a fellow Welsh lad. Hope you are much better soon and back to enjoying your life out there. Hwyl.
Mai pen rai krub. I've been living off Soi Buakhao for the last 13 weeks. There certainly are highs and lows, Christmas was tough but New Years was awesome. Such is life. Hope to chat with you soon. All the best mate. 😉
You will be fine webby.bound to be a bit down after the accident.no matter where we live it can be lonely at times .and as a free spirit it can be hard especially when people like to party and try to live what some people call a normal life can be tough. You will be grand and will bounce back in no time .and hopefully see you over there this year.
Sorry to hear about your motorbike accident Webby. It could've been alot worse. I'd never have a motorbike myself, as I've seen it go wrong too many times. I'm back out for a month in March. Id be more than happy to meet up.
I've started to go back to the UK every 2 months for 3 weeks.lived here 23 years .hard work travelling but nice to get away and I look forward to coming back
Did you go to the clinic with the accident and did it get cleaned surgically? When was the last time you had a Tetanus jab? Every 10 years is advisable. Possible you are getting some dehydration with the accident, the weather and AC out. Recommend take an electrolyte sachet (Royal) every 2nd day.
Always a good idea when it gets too much in Pattaya to head off for a few days - when you get better. Try one of the islands to the east - Koh Samet, Chang or Kut. Do some snorkelling or wildlife trails. Thai islands are amazing
Hi Webby sorry to hear about your accident you have to careful driving in this country it is quite dangerous at times. I've been living in phetchabun Thailand for the past 3 years now and I've seen some terrible fatal accidents here, Pattaya is a crazy place to drive I've done it and survived. Take care mate ooh by the way I'm from Swansea where in Wales are you from?
Stay strong mate wherever you go in the world you bump into yourself. Meaning happiness comes from within no bullshit I'm someone who's suffered depression. Pick yourself up Webby dust yourself off and look to things that make you happy, and distance yourself from things that don't. Best wishes 👍🏼🏴🙏
I hear you. I’ve only ever done 10days at a time in Pattaya, and by day 8, I’m already bored to shit & itching to get back home. 10days is more than enough for me
Thanks for the reminder to subscribe. Done! Also, I’m glad you didn’t suffer major damage and I’m glad you still believe this move was the best for you. Take care 👍
The warm heat will be from clogged filters in the air con units inside your condo. They get clogged up with dust. They are located behind a lid on the front of the units. Give them a rinse and time to dry and you'll be sorted. Loving the honesty of your channel. Keep it up mate
There will always be ups and downs,living in Pattaya is so different from holidaying but as you say it's the place you want to be and the highs way outweigh the lows.Have fun.Cheers
Hi webby. We all get down mate. But at least you've got the sun and getvout and about. Sweating there mate lol. Quick your place is it near the bhat bus. Or how much for a bolt to say pot hole. Looks a decent drum. Like I say I'm coming out late May staying at the debua.just booked for December 3 weeks centara azure. Debating what to do for next year. To keep my sanity got ocd I think need to have everything organised so sumat to look forward to cheers mate
I felt really down during the lockdowns, questioned myself etc. Living didnt make sense. I was thinking i have had all the pleasures in life, from this age (40) i will repeat what i did thats all. Now i can travel again, at least it is giving me some excitement. Especially Pattaya... hope you recover speedy...
Your all good webby ,u just coming out of the shock mode, your never alone!!! Yes you have good days and the bad days, its great you have family popping out to you to. Thailand is the place to be, England is getting worse and worse,I can’t wait to get out to. Keep cool enjoy life🎉
O mate, sorry to hear bout you bump, get well soon, i managed to lose my phone and bank cards while on a 2 day bender this weekend in LK Metro, Sunday was a pretty low point for me so feel your pain, (somehow got the phone and cards back). Look after yourself, good gym in Pratumnak that keeps my mind focused... you thought about that?
Great video Webby. This is why we follow you because we get to see the true and real version of you no matter what. Never change buddy you’re a brilliant person.
I had a friend who live out there for 6 month at the time. .he had many friends , most of whom came back ..he also eventually stopped going. .he called it fools paradise
Pattaya a great holiday but an awful place to live on your own . Too much temptation both beer and women . It's hard to be inside when the party is outside and if you like a party . I've been here nearly 2 months but I'm lucky to live in a busy area north of Bangkok . Bangkok is close enough if I want to go but far enough that it's an effort .
But what you do as an alternative? Watch Thai TV every night? Make friends with your neighbours - only you're not fluent in Thai, and even if you were, your respective cultures and upbringing are so different to mean there is little common ground between you... Genuine question, not a pisstake reply.
@michael-lt2lf I have a Thai GF who owns her own market shop . I help her open shop and close the shop , in-between 3 afternoons a week I have a Thai tutor helping me to learn Thai . I am also teaching myself guitar off you tube . Spend time fixing the house to be more western . My days are pretty full tbh but it helps having a steady relationship.
Ok welshboy. Let me sort you out. first thing. Get out that condo. And rent a house over on the dark side. It will be like living in the Valleys. Only With sun.sit in the garden mow the lawn.dig a pond. I started in a condo. But a house gives you so much more to do. Been here 5 years now. And love it.
The roads look terrifying out there man. Motorbikes are pretty dangerous anyway but the roads out there look mad. The biggest problem is you don't know what the other driver will do next, even if you assume they're all out to kill you! Lay up for a day or 2, have a break and enjoy your retirement. This is what it's about mate. Your dream to live in this crazy town in the tropics and be happy. I'm living my dream life and everyone should. I'll see you in the next video, best Pattaya content.
Part of the problem aside from the aggressive drivers, drunk drivers and other bad habits is people drive cars where all windows, including the front is limo tinted. You can not see the drivers at all so you don't know where they're looking...thats a bad problem there as well.
I have a bicycle I store in my condo - but I keep to certain roads, where I feel safer. On others I can ride on the pavement - e.g. Thepprasit or Sukhumvit. But you can't do that with a motorcycle, even though you're just as vulnerable to 2 tonnes of steel whizzing by. The only place I might contemplate owning a motorcycle would be out in the provinces, where walking, cycling, public transport or Bolt aren't options. One vlogger goes about on his high powered e-bike at 25mph+ on roads like Thappraya: much too dangerous in my view.
Webby you’ve got to separate living out in Thailand to being on holiday. Get a hobby get a few hobbies get into a positive routine mate some structure in your life and still find a little time to have a party out there👍 I’m in koh samet at the minute chilling😎
Hey... I saw you organising someone onto the next bus beside mine on the 29th Dec as I was heading to Survanabhumi... I have a place there maybe 1km walk from where you stay but fly in and out a few times a year... Depression isnt good but expected pretty much in any tourist place I think...people come and go in these places and the transient nature means a big lack of a stable social world alongside an expensive international social world.... The best solution is likely having a very stable local community of which it might be difficult to find especially in tourist areas... Hope you get the positivity back... Social is important but without alcohol as the key...
Personally,Pattaya is the loneliest place I have travelled to. It is Disneyland when you are up. Confusing,depressing and paranoid when you aren't. Who can you trust?
Agree after 2 weeks can get boring,stuff living there will just drain you,and you cant compare the girls to 20 yrs ago,now some girls the first words are can you buy me a drink No
Cwmbran boy here webby 👍. You have to travel more mate, thailand has so much to see. I'm over in 6 weeks for a month here's my travel plan. 5 nights pattaya, 7 nights Krabi, 2 night's koh lanta, back to pattaya for 3 nights then down to koh kood for 10 nights, then back to pattaya for last 2 night's. I used to stay in pattaya for the whole holiday, Not good. Would be good to see you when I'm over. Keep your chin up taff
Enjoyed your honesty Webby; the ups and downs of life wherever you are…….i think once you get the air conditioning fixed you will feel so much better 👍

Highs & Lows of living in Asia Webby. I felt the same after 7 years in China.
Accidents happen, and you survived mate.
My very general advice:
1. Bars maximum twice a week.
2. Subscriber meetup: Do lunch or coffee. Too easy to turn into 10 beers.
3. Gym or walk 2x a week.
4. Expand your channel topics.
5. Maybe change apartments for a fresh start, if feasible.
6. Do 200-300b days, or at least one day with no spending per week. Don't overcompensate the next day though.
Good advice 👌🏻
I like your idea of low budget days. I have some health issues so I can't eat street food and do 200 baht days but I could do 500 baht days.
I lived in jomtien for 2 years and it can be very lonely place once novelty of going to bars every day and if you don’t have a Thai girlfriend and your mates aren’t visiting you, you can kind feel a bit trapped in your condo and very lonely at times
Very good advice 👍👍 1 Day funday, 2 days relax/gym/chill, 1 Day fun day, 2 days relax/beach/gym/Chill, repeat.....👍
Its also easy to have pretty good days in Pattaya/Jomtien if you do some walking and find the good spots.
I love your list Richard, very good advice👍👍

Thanks for sharing
Respect for your honesty We've all been there. Alcohol is a depressant and wont help. Stay happy and healthy.
Though I love Thailand I can't see myself living there. I visit twice a year for a month each time and personally the party life gets kinda old after a couple of weeks. Go out drink, hang out with bar girls wake up with a stranger rinse and repeat. In the daytime wander around town like a lost cause and again, rinse and repeat. If you don't find a hobby or, and a proper spouse Thailand can be brutal.
That's is so true what you said
Its the boredom. Very self destructive in a crazy place like pattaya. Need to have some kind of discipline and do other stuff besides women and beer. Its easy to spot alot of western men have succumbed to the madness and developed serious mental health issues
I'm in Thailand and I never go out with bar girls. I imagine it would become a hell. Thailand is fine if you avoid certain kinds of lifestyles.
Gotta remember, "Paradise is a state of mind".
If you're not right mentally, doesn't matter where you are, depression and anxiety can easily kick in.
Also remember, alcohol is a poison, definitely needs to be done in moderation, else it'll fuck you up, physically, mentally and financially.
Take care.
He is beginning to realise how important a loving family can be.
Cheers agree
Still won't return
You are so right about alcohol being "poison". I think all beer, wine & spirit bottles should have the scary "skull and cross-bones" logo prominently featured.

Stay strong webby, you had a bad accident and get well soon, mentally and physically , anything you are going through at the moment will pass, just enjoy your life and take every day as a blessing. Your Daughter will be over soon which will help, You are better off staying in Thailand, I admire you for staying out the bars, good luck with your relationship and I hope to see you back to your bright and cheery self shortly.
Hey 😊 I love how you are just honest 😊 well done for showing you are a amazing person 😊 I don’t know you personally but, everyone tells me my gut instinct is good. And, sir you from the very start since watching you have so much heart and beautiful soul. You will get better soon. Really not to long ago you where very sick and had to fly back to the uk ! Now you are in a different situation. Always love ❤️
I’ve always thought Pattaya is ok for a few days. Then head south to an island of your choice, my favourites are koh Chang, koh Samui & koh phanghan. For me it’s the reason to travel to Thailand I.e stunning views and beaches
If you haven't already been to cebu in the Philippines. Go there you won't be lonely. You can stay 3 years on a tourist visa. This is my 6th trip to pattaya in 18 months I have a flight booked for 8 weeks in March / April but I'm definitely not coming back. You can meet ladies in the Philippines who's first words aren't 2000 Bhat. Try it.
Webby.....that is the best video you've done..true and honest...i hope your mood improves over the next few days. Good days ..bad days all part of life living in Thailand..🙏🙏🙏😀
Sorry to hear about your recent misfortune. Hope you are on the mend quickly.
I got very ill a couple of years ago, right in the middle of Covid. I ended up in hospital for weeks on end and it got pretty touch-and-go as to whether I was going to make it. I didn't have anyone around me and I spent a lot of time just laying there in pain and feeling pretty sorry for myself. Some good did come of this though as months later I realised that things could definitely be worse, that I could put up with occassional bleak period and the bad times don't last forever. You'll get through this and be better for it.
I'm OK cheers
Please stop using motorbikes Thailand is the most dangerous place in the world to do so. Baht buses, Bolt or walking can do almost everything.
I'm OK
Im ok? look at yamate uin freefall
You seen the stats on pissed up taxi and minibus drivers, they’re no safer than bikes, all I would say is don’t drive drunk or at night
Good advice concerning motorbikes. I rarely use them. I'm in Bangkok and I usually walk, take the sky train or subway. That also allows me to avoid the irritation of traffic jams.
Youre a good guy Webby, wish you all the best and quick recovery mate.
Cheers 🍻
I’ve been here since September…you jus got a roll with it…don’t think to hard & respect your time. Everything’s fine jus take everything with a pinch of salt…life’s great here if you’re strong enough. Best of luck mate ..hope to see you around & get you a Bacon Sarnie & a mug of tea..take it easy…jus be careful out there..!! 👍
Get well buddy. Take it easy. Enjoy all of your content. Wishing you well.
Hiya Webby ,sorry to hear about your accident mate.You are W W W. Wild Wicked and Welsh.Head up and enjoy.
We are out in Hua Hin at the end of March.We are popping over to Pattaya for a night or two give you a buzz then.
sorry to hear about the accident Webs. Was your helmet on when you had the accident?
Hi Webby, I just subbed as you suggested. I just got back to Aus from my two month stay at Pratumnak, nice to hear the kawaw bird in the background while you were chatting. During my two months I slipped and did the splits on a wet slippery balcony, took me a week to get somewhat better. Then I got food poisoning from a local wine and puked and shat myself for a week. After that I got gastric flu and spent another week in bed without eating. So, I understand why you're feeling a bit down because I nearly flew home early. The upshot of this story is that about two weeks after recovering from all of the above I really perked up and started enjoying myself. Anyhow, I'm making a trip back to Wales in May/June and then I'm in Jomtien for about a month or more after that in July/August. If you're there I would love to meet up for a beer and a chat. I grew up in Pontardulais, not far from you by the sound of your accent. Always happy to bump into a fellow Welsh lad. Hope you are much better soon and back to enjoying your life out there. Hwyl.
Cheers would be great
Thanks for that mate it wont change my mind i thought there will be tough times and sorry but good to hear it from a honest man
No problem mate
Mai pen rai krub.
I've been living off Soi Buakhao for the last 13 weeks. There certainly are highs and lows, Christmas was tough but New Years was awesome.
Such is life.
Hope to chat with you soon.
All the best mate. 😉
Thanks for sharing
You will be fine webby.bound to be a bit down after the accident.no matter where we live it can be lonely at times .and as a free spirit it can be hard especially when people like to party and try to live what some people call a normal life can be tough. You will be grand and will bounce back in no time .and hopefully see you over there this year.
I'll be heading for my 7th trip to Pattaya in March. Its a great place, literally heaven. Thanks for the videos sir... much appreciated from Ireland
No problem
Sorry to hear about your motorbike accident Webby. It could've been alot worse.
I'd never have a motorbike myself, as I've seen it go wrong too many times.
I'm back out for a month in March. Id be more than happy to meet up.
I've started to go back to the UK every 2 months for 3 weeks.lived here 23 years .hard work travelling but nice to get away and I look forward to coming back
Huge cost doing that,
Hope u heel up quickly mate
Best wishes
Did you go to the clinic with the accident and did it get cleaned surgically? When was the last time you had a Tetanus jab? Every 10 years is advisable.
Possible you are getting some dehydration with the accident, the weather and AC out. Recommend take an electrolyte sachet (Royal) every 2nd day.
Respect for telling it like it is. The fantasy of living here turns into a nightmare for far too many men.
Always a good idea when it gets too much in Pattaya to head off for a few days - when you get better. Try one of the islands to the east - Koh Samet, Chang or Kut. Do some snorkelling or wildlife trails. Thai islands are amazing
Hi Webby sorry to hear about your accident you have to careful driving in this country it is quite dangerous at times. I've been living in phetchabun Thailand for the past 3 years now and I've seen some terrible fatal accidents here, Pattaya is a crazy place to drive I've done it and survived. Take care mate ooh by the way I'm from Swansea where in Wales are you from?
Cheers Bridgend mate
Stay strong mate wherever you go in the world you bump into yourself. Meaning happiness comes from within no bullshit I'm someone who's suffered depression. Pick yourself up Webby dust yourself off and look to things that make you happy, and distance yourself from things that don't. Best wishes 👍🏼🏴🙏
I hear you. I’ve only ever done 10days at a time in Pattaya, and by day 8, I’m already bored to shit & itching to get back home. 10days is more than enough for me
It can be like that
Thanks for the reminder to subscribe. Done! Also, I’m glad you didn’t suffer major damage and I’m glad you still believe this move was the best for you. Take care 👍
Cheers
I appreciate you keeping it real...
Keep you chin up mate sorry to hear about your accident I defiantly would love to meet up with you when I'm there in may
no problem
After the storm.. the clear sky comes to you..hope everything gets better soon😊
Cheers
The warm heat will be from clogged filters in the air con units inside your condo. They get clogged up with dust. They are located behind a lid on the front of the units. Give them a rinse and time to dry and you'll be sorted. Loving the honesty of your channel. Keep it up mate
Been there kid, when I got down couldn't work out why, missing my family suppose and never do bikes my unwritten rule..
There will always be ups and downs,living in Pattaya is so different from holidaying but as you say it's the place you want to be and the highs way outweigh the lows.Have fun.Cheers
Really appreciate the hohnest vieo Webby! Just subscribed!
keep smiling webbo you are still standing mate, and god bless you mate xx
Hi webby. We all get down mate. But at least you've got the sun and getvout and about. Sweating there mate lol. Quick your place is it near the bhat bus. Or how much for a bolt to say pot hole. Looks a decent drum. Like I say I'm coming out late May staying at the debua.just booked for December 3 weeks centara azure. Debating what to do for next year. To keep my sanity got ocd I think need to have everything organised so sumat to look forward to cheers mate
Nice vid ya lucky man taffy. Hang in there mate
I felt really down during the lockdowns, questioned myself etc. Living didnt make sense. I was thinking i have had all the pleasures in life, from this age (40) i will repeat what i did thats all. Now i can travel again, at least it is giving me some excitement. Especially Pattaya... hope you recover speedy...
Gotta take the rough with the smooth mate, we all feel down and lonely sometimes, perfectly normal 👍
Your all good webby ,u just coming out of the shock mode, your never alone!!!
Yes you have good days and the bad days, its great you have family popping out to you to.

Much appreciated!
Good honest video. Thank you.
O mate, sorry to hear bout you bump, get well soon, i managed to lose my phone and bank cards while on a 2 day bender this weekend in LK Metro, Sunday was a pretty low point for me so feel your pain, (somehow got the phone and cards back). Look after yourself, good gym in Pratumnak that keeps my mind focused... you thought about that?
Omg I hope you stay safe mate.
Were you drinking and driving?
Great video Webby. This is why we follow you because we get to see the true and real version of you no matter what. Never change buddy you’re a brilliant person.
I appreciate that
Glad your on the mend after your accident 😮 keep thinking positively and you will be fine buddy 👍
I had a friend who live out there for 6 month at the time. .he had many friends , most of whom came back ..he also eventually stopped going. .he called it fools paradise
It is that
@@welshboywebbyjoin a expat club they will help you from Scott new Zealand
Thank you for the truth. From a warm -6 in canada
As a Maesteg guy to another chinn up mate hope you feel better soon take care
Anybody who gets injured automatically feels down while healing. Chin up it won't last.
Pattaya a great holiday but an awful place to live on your own . Too much temptation both beer and women . It's hard to be inside when the party is outside and if you like a party . I've been here nearly 2 months but I'm lucky to live in a busy area north of Bangkok . Bangkok is close enough if I want to go but far enough that it's an effort .
Tell me about it
But what you do as an alternative? Watch Thai TV every night? Make friends with your neighbours - only you're not fluent in Thai, and even if you were, your respective cultures and upbringing are so different to mean there is little common ground between you... Genuine question, not a pisstake reply.
@michael-lt2lf I have a Thai GF who owns her own market shop . I help her open shop and close the shop , in-between 3 afternoons a week I have a Thai tutor helping me to learn Thai . I am also teaching myself guitar off you tube . Spend time fixing the house to be more western . My days are pretty full tbh but it helps having a steady relationship.
My goodness! Those drinks from the Happy Holiday friends are certainly mounting up....
Hang in there Webby,always look forward to your content.
Ok welshboy. Let me sort you out. first thing. Get out that condo. And rent a house over on the dark side. It will be like living in the Valleys. Only With sun.sit in the garden mow the lawn.dig a pond. I started in a condo. But a house gives you so much more to do. Been here 5 years now. And love it.
Got ask had you been consuming alcohol before the motorcycle crash?
Don't ask lol
Thanks for the video .
You are welcome!
Some very honest and candid truth shared their Webby ... Remember you take your problems and abilities or capacities with you
Hi webby, I’ve just come across you tonight and love your honesty etc. your the sort of guy I’d love to have a pint with.
Welcome aboard!
Gws n cheer up, appreciate yr honesty
Cheers
The roads look terrifying out there man. Motorbikes are pretty dangerous anyway but the roads out there look mad. The biggest problem is you don't know what the other driver will do next, even if you assume they're all out to kill you!
Lay up for a day or 2, have a break and enjoy your retirement. This is what it's about mate. Your dream to live in this crazy town in the tropics and be happy. I'm living my dream life and everyone should. I'll see you in the next video, best Pattaya content.
Part of the problem aside from the aggressive drivers, drunk drivers and other bad habits is people drive cars where all windows, including the front is limo tinted. You can not see the drivers at all so you don't know where they're looking...thats a bad problem there as well.
I have a bicycle I store in my condo - but I keep to certain roads, where I feel safer. On others I can ride on the pavement - e.g. Thepprasit or Sukhumvit. But you can't do that with a motorcycle, even though you're just as vulnerable to 2 tonnes of steel whizzing by. The only place I might contemplate owning a motorcycle would be out in the provinces, where walking, cycling, public transport or Bolt aren't options. One vlogger goes about on his high powered e-bike at 25mph+ on roads like Thappraya: much too dangerous in my view.
Peaks and troughs everyone has them , but not everyone admits to them. Thumbs up for talking about it. I’m sure it will help you and others too. 👍
Webby you’ve got to separate living out in Thailand to being on holiday. Get a hobby get a few hobbies get into a positive routine mate some structure in your life and still find a little time to have a party out there👍
I’m in koh samet at the minute chilling😎
Exactly to many folks live the holiday lifestyle instead of a fulfilling retirement.
Chilling? We've told you before; a fridge is for storing food , it's not meant to be a mini England to crawl into🤣
Hey... I saw you organising someone onto the next bus beside mine on the 29th Dec as I was heading to Survanabhumi... I have a place there maybe 1km walk from where you stay but fly in and out a few times a year... Depression isnt good but expected pretty much in any tourist place I think...people come and go in these places and the transient nature means a big lack of a stable social world alongside an expensive international social world.... The best solution is likely having a very stable local community of which it might be difficult to find especially in tourist areas... Hope you get the positivity back... Social is important but without alcohol as the key...
Best comment
Personally,Pattaya is the loneliest place I have travelled to.
It is Disneyland when you are up.
Confusing,depressing and paranoid when you aren't.
Who can you trust?
Agree after 2 weeks can get boring,stuff living there will just drain you,and you cant compare the girls to 20 yrs ago,now some girls the first words are can you buy me a drink No
Cwmbran boy here webby 👍.
You have to travel more mate, thailand has so much to see.
I'm over in 6 weeks for a month here's my travel plan.
5 nights pattaya, 7 nights Krabi, 2 night's koh lanta, back to pattaya for 3 nights then down to koh kood for 10 nights, then back to pattaya for last 2 night's.
I used to stay in pattaya for the whole holiday,
Not good.
Would be good to see you when I'm over.
Keep your chin up taff
I’m over on 29th Jan - feb 29th Caerphilly here 👍🏻
When you are down just chill go to the shopping centre have a coffee remember you are lucky you are in thailand
Enjoyed your honesty Webby; the ups and downs of life wherever you are…….i think once you get the air conditioning fixed you will feel so much better 👍
Thanks 👍
