Great video Pete! Looks like a lot of fun! These videos are what's making me take the steps to prepare a change to my life as well! Thanks for the inspiration and sharing the happiness!
You’re welcome and thank you for the comment 🙏🏼 I have no regrets about my decision to move out here. It’s a dream come true and I’m thankful to have this opportunity.
I really enjoy your videos Pete , lm also from your area in Texas. I am relocating to Thailand in October. I've been there a couple of times and really love it. Maybe we can share a couple of Chang beers one day. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Danny. I’m always happy to meet my viewers when they get out here and I know a few moving here in October. I appreciate you leaving a comment 🙏🏼 Best wishes on getting everything done to get you out here safely.
Wow Pete Your life is amazing and full of fun and rewarding activities. I am so happy for you. Regarding the Charity, can you share with us any additional information? Another expat that I know recently moved here and he is itching to fill up his idle free time as a volunteer. Thanks, M.
Thank you my friend 🙏🏼 I hope everything is going well in your life too. The charity has a monthly general meeting. My email address is in the video description. Have your friend email me and I can give them more information.
Hi Pete. My wife and I will be there around February. Is your charity open to women volunteers. Thank you for helping us do our research. Your energy is great.
Thank you for the comment and compliment. 🙏🏼 We are open to women and have 4 female members currently. Unfortunately though, we only have full members go to the events every month and the membership process takes awhile. I can let you know about some places where you may be able to do some volunteering or at least make donations and get some cool tours.
Yeah, looks very boring and just can't understand why you are there haha Good on you Pete and awesome to see Koy having such a blast! Hope to run into you in December and only a couple more years till I move into Pattaya!
Haha, I should make a community post. Just had a few busy weeks. Did 4 charity events last month and 2 road trips. The last 2 weeks we went looking at places to move to and now we’re in the process of moving. I should have a video out this weekend (but I thought that last weekend lol)
Haha, thanks! I really didn’t know how to frame this video to get views when it is basically just part 1 of “here’s 4 months of things I’ve done but haven’t talked about on channel yet.” I filmed 4 completely different intro lines and picked this one 😅
Boring is good! Nice, slow, steady, secure, existence. The problem is when new punters get there, they live like it's a constant holiday. They burn themselves out early. You have to establish yourself, figure out your new routine and purpose, the do a few days of leisure. Save money and build security. And DONT move in a bar girl straight away! Take your time. Sock puppets are a dime a dozen.
Absolutely. I tried to set good habits and routines almost immediately after arriving here. Luckily, I’m not much of a drinker and I’m a bit of a homebody. Truth is, I’m at from bored and I wish I had more time. I just couldn’t think of another way to frame this video in a way to get views 😆
Oh man i hate Pattaya. It used to be ok many years ago when it was just the beach and second road. Third road was nothing and desolate.. this is way before social media and what phones though. Things were better. I only go to bangkok now and then home north of chiangrai and our other place near phayao.. I see that the sugar shsck bar on soi 1 Pattayaland is no more. What happened to malai?
I probably would prefer Pattaya now over back then because it just has more to offer me now. I’m not a bar person really and I need more than bar life to keep me occupied. Now we have more food options and a wider variety of people living here. I know I’d prefer the traffic back then though! Sorry, I’m not familiar with the bar you mentioned so I can’t help there.
Right? I think they’ve seen the cycle before… goatee, clean shave, beard, repeat but I wear the goatee the longest and let it get pretty long this last time.
Biased opinion here, but, You should do a "Gamers in Thailand" style videos in your channel :P . BTW, Have you been to the Mega Plaza toy store in Bangkok ? 6 Floors of nerd stuff
I want to do a video showing the 2 game cafes and 3 Internet cafes in town eventually. I haven’t heard about the toy store… I’ll have to add it to my list, thanks! 🙏🏼
@@peteonretreat2023 My next trip to Pattaya is this November, Love to meet up and would also love to see the game cafes, is there a name I can look up? :)
@@AlaskaGuy71 check out Castle of Games and Mr. Foxx for the two gaming cafes. I still haven’t been to Mr. Foxx yet. Also, my email is in the video description. Send me a line before you come out and we can try to hook up.

It’s a really cool place. Looking forward to your next visit.
Wow Pete

That boat day looks fun as...that's the way to enjoy it.
You're doing it right Pete.
🤘😘💨💨➡️🇹🇭
The boat was sweet, I definitely want to do that again sometime!
Love the charity work Pete!
Thank you chef 🙏🏼
It was the thing I didn’t know I needed.
If your bored out there your not doing something right. Another great video.
Yeah, I think anyone bored here would likely be bored anywhere. Thank you for the comment. 🙏🏼
That “garden” park is wild!
It was very cool. I haven’t done a lot of the tourist attraction stuff around town yet. There’s a few more places to check out still.

Your living everyone’s dream Pete 🎉
Sometimes I forget how lucky I am. Thanks for the reminder 🙏🏼
Where’s Pete on Retreat? A.P.B. will be put out soon if you don’t surface!

Good for you! Moving is zero fun.
@@Chef_Boy_RD yup and we took on some extra jobs with this one. We had the entire place painted and all of the furniture professionally cleaned.
Thumbs up 👍 Pete
Thank you 🙏🏼 MSR
Great Video!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Best intro ever 😅

Looks like you have had fun, doesn't look boring at all lol.
Definitely not struggling with boredom… but I was struggling to make this title interesting enough to support the algorithm 😂

How nobody talks about the chin makeover 😉👍🏻
Right? I think they’ve seen the cycle before… goatee, clean shave, beard, repeat but I wear the goatee the longest and let it get pretty long this last time.
❤ pattaya 😢
Why are you sad?
Is it Bangkok or Pattaya.
Pattaya… it’s in the title of the video
has it been 2 years already??? 0-o
Almost. It’s been 20 months but I rounded up for the title. I was struggling to come up with a Thebes for this video lol

Who's that big dude with goatee ?
🤘😘💨💨➡️🇹🇭
No idea. Some guy’s nephew or something like that. 😂
Rumor has it that it’s not a real goatee but actually a chin toupee!
Such a boring life you have Pete. I don't know how you can handle it!!! ROTFLMFAO
It’s a struggle for sure! I can’t believe I’m retired and still don’t have enough time to do everything I want.
