Sammy. Come on mate. Being single in Thailand is the best ! You don’t need to once again get yourself into a situation like what has happened recently. Take the time to revel in this period of ya life ! You’re a young Buck in paradise. Embrace it mate. Love ya looooooong time xx Cookie
Hi Sam, it was great to meet you in person this morning at the 7/11. Again, a very good video. I really like your openness - and btw you can also feel very lonely in a relationship. I've had this experience by myself. Looking forward to meeting you again.
Sam I live alone in Pratumnak and sometimes I get lonely and bored. For me it’s a battle to keep out of the bar when I feel this way. You’re welcome to give me a shout and meet for a coffee anytime for a chat.
@@freejay3 I’m yet to be bored! First year in my life, haven’t experienced boredom, ever, not for a second. Perhaps it goes hand in hand with brokedom. Regardless, that’s a good feeling!!!
I'm in Thailand 9 years and I've found the best/only way to make friends is through my hobbies. Motorcycles and golf are 2 of the best ways to make friends with common interests. 99% of people you'll meet in the bar end up being boring/mindless conversation that I'd rather avoid.
Your youtube channel is not just an activity that keeps you busy and generates a little income, it also connects you with a lot of people. You my be single, Sam, but you´re not alone. Being single is not a flaw, it's an opportunity to really find out what it takes for you to be happy. Cheers from Cologne, Andy
Good video again mate, I'm a single Aussie guy living in thrapraya never get lonely so many nice people around I don't drink so don't go to bars, play beach volleyball and work as a digital nomad also, you meet so many people from all over the world here and build many friendships along the way.
I'm in Thailand 9 years and I've found the best/only way to make friends is through my hobbies. Motorcycles and golf are 2 of the best ways to make friends with common interests.
Despite the title, I found this to be a fun, happy, upbeat video, Sammy. So, thanks for that. I like the use of the reggae-influenced music. The girl on the water board seemed nice, the tour of the beach clubs was very cool, and I thought that the Alexa club looked great! All-around cool video! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pattaya is a big adult play garden but get really old fast... Playing with a different girl every day is fun in the beginning but i was very surprised that i got bored with it 😂 I've been single in Thailand and i've been in a relationship a couple of times. I will choose a relationship every time 👌 Now living in Bangkok with a wonderful lady 🙏
Hey Sam, good to see you doing your TH-cam stuff mate, enjoying the content. Get back into exercise and I’ve gotten into cold showers and ice baths too. Awesome for mental health. Take care mate!
Lonely & single in Thailand with beautiful beaches, warm weather & a great community around you. Or lonely/single freezing your bollocks off here in Australia wondering what's going on in Thailand.🤔 I found you're only 1 adventure, 1 chance encounter, 1 person away from everything you want there.🤗 Stay positive mate as the hard times make the Good times even better. 😉
The second part is so important as you said. I love talking time out of my busy life and spending time in ko Chang riding a bike and meeting local people….. love Pattaya to
Great stuff Sammy …Thai girls have a special way of making you fall for them. It really comes down to your willpower and choices. I remember saying I would never get sucked in with a Thai lady, but thankfully, I did-she's truly a keeper! Now, after 11 years of marriage, we're still going strong!"
Hey mate, not met you before. I get where you are coming from. Going through a bit of this myself in the 🇬🇧 UK. My heart belongs in Thailand 🇹🇭 Take care. Glenn.
Was a good one Sam ,,,, I'm a new Sub- been watching Adam for couple years , seen you pop in / out of vids didn't even know you created content 👍 cool mate 😎
Those View Talay 1A 1B, view Talay 2A 2B Are fantastic solid built ,with massive pools, Not like the new ones ,whose walls not solid between rooms and ceiling so thin you can hear people walking around up top, good honest video you will be ok try get some books to learn speak Thai,
Hey Sam enjoyed your Vlog. I am currently in Jomtiem and loving it. I am not into the girly bars, really depressing seeing all the single westerner guys sitting around getting pissed. I like being single here enjoying my own company. The one thing I am missing though is having a good communication with people. Sure Thai people are great but very hard to communicate. For me life is still good here
Sam just be grateful what u have which is u.being single is ok.just keep active exercise walks bike rides.eat healthy stay out the bars & drinking to much.time to recharge sam time.life goes on bud.keep it rollin
@GoneAdrift good keep it rollin.google how to cook stuff that's how I learned when I was single.thai food is delicious but lots of salt sugar & oils r not good if u eat alot of thai.maybe being a chef might be your next calling lol.sam u r a smart dude u will figure it out things in life.keep positive and enjoy yourself in the LOS.keep it rollin
I have met you fleetingly and I apologise for not giving you the time that you deserved. I've been watched your videos. I've tuned into your personality and enjoy your point on videos and these videos that you're pumping out have some sort of real authentic content. Keep going with what you're doing. You're going down the right road different from everybody else. There's something different and clean and separate from what everybody else is doing. I hope you take this. Absorb it and run it and keep doing what you're doing. It's pretty decent. We have met but it was fleeting at lupa
Great vid Sam!🍻 Thanks for it! This was something that always worried me about moving to Thailand. It's so easy to get caught up with partying and women just to fill the void of loneliness but you def had a solid point to fall back on the relationships you already have!! Look forward to building those relationships myself!! Alexa Beach Club?!?!🔥
Once you learn to be happy on your own and with your self and learn not to worry about what others think of you everything starts to fall into place, and be the sort of person you would like to be with.
Why on earth would you ever want a girlfriend in that country or anywhere else in the world is completely beyond my understanding, especially in that country.
Thank you for the video I appreciate it!!! Nothing negative here 1) there are people starving around the world (you live in a poor country) 2) 35 expats were murdered in Medellin 3) exercise 4) I spend $10,000/mo and I’m happy 😂 5) so many judgmental people in the comments section 😅
Hi Dude, Hang in there. You are now in the right mindset to victory :) Life is hard and I am a bit older than you and what I have realized now is that we all survive and every bad situation I have had makes room for the next great experience ! You got this !
Theres a big difference between being alone and lonely. Worlds apart and the result of having no clear goals , purpose or constructive creative hobbies. 1, Get up before sunrise and be barefoot on the beach in front of the sun.Set your intention, have gratitude for your those working feet and body parts. Your not in a city of rubble with no food or water or people. You are slipping into a poor me state, snap out of it. You know all of this. Change your routine now, get your shit together now. Imagine going back to your past working life or being a sleep walker slaving for others. Your life is a reflection of what is on your mind abd attention. Set new intention every moment you can and watch the magic. Simple is as simple does. Enjoy the paradise. You are the designer, dont complain about the life you created while distracted, re invent now, later and again and soon you will experience that inner power and laugh at this video.
I love that I finally realized I love being alone and single. Being needy was exhausting and made be vulnerable to getting taken advantage of. If someday I ever get bored of freedom and are no longer content I really hope I don't broadcast to the world how much I loneley and needy I am on social media at the start of my search for someone.
Sam, I get your pain and the re-adjustment needed. I guess it’s a matter of feeling more vulnerable too. BUT, the opportunities are spread out before you- just got to embrace change. Good time to travel. Try Saigon, or Siem Reap - Myanmar.
Sam Without being unmercifully critical living in Thailand comes with a cost especially on a limited budget and it’s not going to get much better unless you discover a way of making a sustainable steady income which YT will not deliver unless you have a substantial following which as you know takes time to establish … Sooner or later you’ll have to make a hard decision and I personally would hate to make that decision with the possibility of having to leave Thailand … The last thing you need is another woman complicating your life and the main reason for that it’s a financial burden and as long as you live in Thailand that’s never going to change unfortunately … Cheers mate Best of luck
Sam, I have visited that area. Not my vibe. I'm an actual working musician, or rather a drummer that is invited to hang around with musicians. I just watched and appreciated. No comments, certainly no criticism. As I travel in this world, musicians are the best to hang out with. And that is everywhere.
im only 27 already preparing my semi retirement to live in Thailand going to be doing 6 month trips living there by the end of next year and ill be back in jomtien in November for 5 weeks have to love that place its incredible
I went to Pattaya 2016 and i was lost & lonely. Found comfort in woman, eating and drinking. But found myself back to square one doesn't matter how much i gratified the flesh. I want something more substantial. JESUS was the answer. After i started to read the Bible and putting it into practice, praying and seeking God i felt i was being healed from rejection, loneliness and i felt whole. Jesus loves you.
Join the club Bro ! It’s hard without the Thai GF around, sometimes that person becomes your best friend too, lucky for you you’ve got Adam out here, meanwhile in BKK, Keis, Rob and Serge have moved. The few friends I’ve made from the west all moved to Pattaya as they got bored of Bangkok. Im fine being alone for the most part but the loneliness does resort to either staying hidden in the house or out drinking too much. Hard to find that balance. I’ll try and get down there to see you soon
You have to learn to be comfortable with yourself alone. If you can do that, every relationship you add to your life is gravy. People come and go, through no fault of your own.
well here i was hoping to feel better but now i just watch you having a chill day out rediscovering yourself. worse case on them down days remember you are living in a lot of peoples paradises so you can just go outside and enjoy being there
Eat a diet of hi protein, much lower carb, heavy emphasis on vegetables low emphasis on fruit, take basic supplements. Lift weights on a circuit style workout 3-4x a week or do push pull legs style, do aerobic/HIIT training 4-6x a week, train stomach/core 3-4x a week. Consider yoga and potentially a sport 1 to 2 days a week. As far as aerobic training be careful of the joints if you choose to run only run one to two days a week maximum you will achieve almost identical results with a fairly brisk incline walk on a treadmill for 30 to 60 minutes. Don't forget if you're able mountain climbers and burpees. Good luck you can do it, this is my basic workout and I'm almost 61 years old. Good luck brother
i was like you in thailand BUT when you meet a guy who you have things in common with it makes it easier. I have been to thailand 3 x in the past year. ONLY THAILAND. now i will be going to phillipines in Jan with a cool dude i met from ENGLAND. we hit it off so well. Yeh also wish english was more popular. super great video
1. Don't break the three day rule. 2. There are several ex-pat clubs in Pattaya where you can meet folks with similar interests (cycling, surfing, hiking, cards, reading, travel, cooking, music, blogging, etc) as yours.
Just a thought mate but do you reckon you would go back to Australia and just start from scratch? The best thing about Thailand is visiting on holidays and not worrying about all these issues living there. Go back to AUS. Hit the hard grind and visit Thailand 3-4 times a year. That's the ideal lifestyle bro ;)
Lots of good advice here. It seems to me that a part time BUT high paying occupation...maybe only 4 days per week might keep you busy and productive. Beyond that I feel that the muay thai training might fill in the rest of your hours and provide you with health benefits. There also might be Facebook meetups for non drinking topics...maybe some professional groups...business oriented. Work on you.
When i'm back in September i'm staying at Jomtien for the last week, i'll be checking out all the places along the beach 👍and hopefully i wont get drunk everyday, i need to detox before i go home🙏😄
Hey man! I've been following you for awhile. I'm Swedish (40 years old) and I'm having serious plans to move to Thailand within a couple of years. The problem is that I need something to work with as an expat, do you know what westerners normally do there? I'm working in a really niche IT job that doesn't translate to an international market which means that I need to find something else. Any advice on how to make a living over there would be awesome. I'm coming to Pattaya in January on a normal vacation (gonna go to Bangkok and other places as well to network a bit to see if I can find something). Anyway, great video!
Hey mate. It’s the age-old question…. And one that gets tossed around a lot. How bad do you want it, haha? There are ways but not to be discussed openly. Dig deep and you’ll get there
Additionally, I think every bloke is going through a similar situation being out there two times this year and in the process of working out what I want to do in my life. You feel like you're in no man's land and you will go out and drink and party to make yourself feel better. But afterwards, you're left with a emptiness. Wondering what you're doing with your life. I think this is where the Buddhist crack it and do a good job where they basically own The emptiness and see it for what it is. It's about controlling your mind. You know, it's quite complicated if you let it be. I think we're allowed to a simple life of a good woman and no drama, but it's very hard to find that perfect situation
Keeping in mind, I only know about the things you post... it seems to me danny is the key brother. With his connections, you could easily do your own travel agency type thing. Maybe creating or modernizing business' web sites. Creating drone footage for resorts or property owners; even other travel agencies. Of course, you could always make a few bucks editing Keis' book (finally) lolol wishing you good fortune my brother, safe journey
Your condo looks near chateau Dale Thappraya Road Jomtien where I stayed and noticed the locals there networking so the community kind of supports itself . Here in Australia, have a dog for companionship.. just a thought.
This other TH-camr also living in Thailand claimed that buying real estate and renting it out wasn't worth it. He said the average returns were only around 3 - 5%. He said you're better off leaving your money in an index fund and get around 10% return. You own properties. What do you think?
If you are looking to get a proper, lasting relationship in Thailand, and want to stay in Thailand, be positive and (1) change your location and go out to cities in the provinces where you could find a steady, sensible gf who will not be totally dependent on you (2) start learning the Thai language! Good luck.
Hang out with u mate keit1 some more I got the feeling that he want to help you on anyway possible. You don't need a girlfriend you can enjoy other ways it's just you last girlfriend she maybe a good girl but had a big baggage that you bot in position to can handle. Hope the best for u Sam. You a good man.
You are correct , you are in a non English speaking country. You are a foreigner and will always be. Sit with 3 Thai people and you realise very quickly that this is not home. They have two prices Thai price and foreigner price also a lot of people won't like the heat and humidity. No place is perfect. Asian women don't like the beach. They know the damage the sun does. You'll want to go to the beach and they want to stay at home
You have a big heart so loneliness is difficult to overcome but usually just networking and being an extrovert allows new experiences to just come to you. And your a TH-camr ha ha And business opportunities in Thailand well that’s another story. Ha ha

Learning to be settled and happy with being alone is a "super power" of sorts in my opinion. It helps with your social relationships as well to me.
Amen!

Yeh, single is the ultimate, you need to keep busy
Second that. Very happily married now, but single times in Thailand are some of my most colorful memories.
HELL YA!! 😂
Stop chasing relationships, it will break u financially and spiritually. Love yourself
Hi Sam, it was great to meet you in person this morning at the 7/11. Again, a very good video. I really like your openness - and btw you can also feel very lonely in a relationship. I've had this experience by myself. Looking forward to meeting you again.
The pleasure was all mine Herr Ralph 🙏🏻
Thank you
Just keep reminding yourself the fact that to be alone is physical whereas loneliness is a state of mind. Take care buddy, it'll pass with time.
Bro alone
no nagging, no yelling, no ATM, no drama
Peace & harmony
Go monk mode it drives women insane
Oyster will be your world
It is better to be alone than to be ripped off by an old bag.
Sam I live alone in Pratumnak and sometimes I get lonely and bored. For me it’s a battle to keep out of the bar when I feel this way. You’re welcome to give me a shout and meet for a coffee anytime for a chat.
Mr Mark I appreciate this so much! Thank youuu
This is my number one fear of moving there. I have the same battle when I’m bored and lonely.
Just keeping yourself busy obviously allows no time to be bored
@@freejay3 I’m yet to be bored! First year in my life, haven’t experienced boredom, ever, not for a second. Perhaps it goes hand in hand with brokedom. Regardless, that’s a good feeling!!!
The best days of my life is being alone I’m sure you didn’t have a Thai girlfriend in Australia. You will be just fine, my brother.
I'm in Thailand 9 years and I've found the best/only way to make friends is through my hobbies. Motorcycles and golf are 2 of the best ways to make friends with common interests.

Your youtube channel is not just an activity that keeps you busy and generates a little income, it also connects you with a lot of people.

Being single is not a flaw, it's an opportunity to really find out what it takes for you to be happy.

lonelyness is like depresion, its a state of mind, remember it costs nothing to be happy, just happy thoughts 🙂

worse case on them down days remember you are living in a lot of peoples paradises so you can just go outside and enjoy being there
enjoy your space and lack of drama. we get everything we need.
Eat a diet of hi protein, much lower carb, heavy emphasis on vegetables low emphasis on fruit, take basic supplements. Lift weights on a circuit style workout 3-4x a week or do push pull legs style, do aerobic/HIIT training 4-6x a week, train stomach/core 3-4x a week. Consider yoga and potentially a sport 1 to 2 days a week. As far as aerobic training be careful of the joints if you choose to run only run one to two days a week maximum you will achieve almost identical results with a fairly brisk incline walk on a treadmill for 30 to 60 minutes. Don't forget if you're able mountain climbers and burpees. Good luck you can do it, this is my basic workout and I'm almost 61 years old. Good luck brother
i was like you in thailand BUT when you meet a guy who you have things in common with it makes it easier. I have been to thailand 3 x in the past year. ONLY THAILAND. now i will be going to phillipines in Jan with a cool dude i met from ENGLAND. we hit it off so well. Yeh also wish english was more popular. super great video
Be confident trust yourself
Enjoy ya clips, sounds like ya put yourself under pressure
1. Don't break the three day rule.
2. There are several ex-pat clubs in Pattaya where you can meet folks with similar interests (cycling, surfing, hiking, cards, reading, travel, cooking, music, blogging, etc) as yours.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just a thought mate but do you reckon you would go back to Australia and just start from scratch? The best thing about Thailand is visiting on holidays and not worrying about all these issues living there. Go back to AUS. Hit the hard grind and visit Thailand 3-4 times a year. That's the ideal lifestyle bro ;)
At least when u do visit your not on a budget 5 meals a day drinks all the extras run out just come back and save up again
@@danb5944 1000% bro. Thailand is only great when you have money
@@clintonthorne7389 Yes, the ideal would be to see my family muchhhhh more often.

Mac sent me!! =)
Enjoy the orchard, mate. Sabei sabei 👊🏻🙏👊🏻
Lonely!!! Turn it up 😅
@@jeffevans9071 hahahaha
its amazing when traveling how you meet so many other cool mates. Being from the US it seems easier to meet people when traveling
I get the vibe that Danny is your mate. He will introduce you into your next endeavour of any kind without you realising I bet.
Suck it up buttercup.
Focus on your work and bettering yourself. Work will always be there for you. Work will never let you down.
You will be fine !
Lots of good advice here. It seems to me that a part time BUT high paying occupation...maybe only 4 days per week might keep you busy and productive. Beyond that I feel that the muay thai training might fill in the rest of your hours and provide you with health benefits. There also might be Facebook meetups for non drinking topics...maybe some professional groups...business oriented. Work on you.
I work on myself day in day out 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Keep up the good work. And, construction projects are great.
When i'm back in September i'm staying at Jomtien for the last week, i'll be checking out all the places along the beach 👍and hopefully i wont get drunk everyday, i need to detox before i go home🙏😄

Hey man! I've been following you for awhile. I'm Swedish (40 years old) and I'm having serious plans to move to Thailand within a couple of years. The problem is that I need something to work with as an expat, do you know what westerners normally do there? I'm working in a really niche IT job that doesn't translate to an international market which means that I need to find something else.
Any advice on how to make a living over there would be awesome. I'm coming to Pattaya in January on a normal vacation (gonna go to Bangkok and other places as well to network a bit to see if I can find something).
Anyway, great video!
Hey mate. It’s the age-old question…. And one that gets tossed around a lot.
How bad do you want it, haha?
There are ways but not to be discussed openly. Dig deep and you’ll get there
Additionally, I think every bloke is going through a similar situation being out there two times this year and in the process of working out what I want to do in my life. You feel like you're in no man's land and you will go out and drink and party to make yourself feel better. But afterwards, you're left with a emptiness. Wondering what you're doing with your life. I think this is where the Buddhist crack it and do a good job where they basically own The emptiness and see it for what it is. It's about controlling your mind. You know, it's quite complicated if you let it be. I think we're allowed to a simple life of a good woman and no drama, but it's very hard to find that perfect situation
Keeping in mind, I only know about the things you post... it seems to me danny is the key brother. With his connections, you could easily do your own travel agency type thing. Maybe creating or modernizing business' web sites. Creating drone footage for resorts or property owners; even other travel agencies. Of course, you could always make a few bucks editing Keis' book (finally) lolol wishing you good fortune my brother, safe journey
Your condo looks near chateau Dale Thappraya Road Jomtien where I stayed and noticed the locals there networking so the community kind of supports itself . Here in Australia, have a dog for companionship.. just a thought.
Dog's no companion for such an unstable lifestyle/person. Up to 15 yrs of lifetime owed, doesn't make the impression that he'd be able to provide it.
This other TH-camr also living in Thailand claimed that buying real estate and renting it out wasn't worth it. He said the average returns were only around 3 - 5%. He said you're better off leaving your money in an index fund and get around 10% return. You own properties. What do you think?
I certainly do not own anything in Thailand. Not in a position to give any advice
If you are looking to get a proper, lasting relationship in Thailand, and want to stay in Thailand, be positive and (1) change your location and go out to cities in the provinces where you could find a steady, sensible gf who will not be totally dependent on you (2) start learning the Thai language! Good luck.
👌🏻
Your not really alone.......you can't meet the person for you....if the wrong one id taking up space.
I was at alexa last february.. great place but was mostly chinese tourists. Maybe it was just that week
The show must go on.
I'm sorry to have to say this to you. MAN UP!! STOP BEING A SIMP! 💪❤️
Haha, it’s all entertainment homie
Hang out with u mate keit1 some more I got the feeling that he want to help you on anyway possible. You don't need a girlfriend you can enjoy other ways it's just you last girlfriend she maybe a good girl but had a big baggage that you bot in position to can handle. Hope the best for u Sam. You a good man.
I stopped alcohol and replaced it with Xbox and coffee. Friends come and go sadly. Still got my core friends though. Not single anymore too helps.
You are correct , you are in a non English speaking country. You are a foreigner and will always be.
Sit with 3 Thai people and you realise very quickly that this is not home.
They have two prices Thai price and foreigner price also a lot of people won't like the heat and humidity.
No place is perfect.
Asian women don't like the beach. They know the damage the sun does. You'll want to go to the beach and they want to stay at home
You have a big heart so loneliness is difficult to overcome but usually just networking and being an extrovert allows new experiences to just come to you. And your a TH-camr ha ha And business opportunities in Thailand well that’s another story. Ha ha
@@Hukahey 5 star review for your 5 points ;)
Bro I feel the same. Living in North Pattaya I get sick of all the bars and bar girls.
Enjoy it while you can
