[@malin5468]

Brilliant vlog once again, Trev. Lots of good advice and you certainly have the gift of the gab. Of the three dangers, I think I can avoid the first two. I have lots of interests I can pursue. Over Christmas I got into the habit of a few too many drinks-actually only a beer or two per day-but I haven’t touched alcohol for a week. Girls may be more of a temptation. As a 70 year old, I have no illusions that a chick will be after anything other than money, so will have to keep my wits about me. I think the most important thing is to find company and make friends with similar interests. Your pub crawls sound fun, but I probably would not last long. But I am sure there are guys who want to socialize over coffee, bike rides, sports, etc. Anyhow, looking forward to visiting your bar (hope you sell coffee or soft drinks as well). Keep the vlogs coming!

@@Buzzinpattaya where your bar located what's the name?

[@philyew3617]

I first visited Pattaya in 1991 (and many times since). This video is just about the most accurate description of Pattaya I've seen on here. Spot on Trev. I would add that the radar is not confined to the Girls, if the boys are your thing the radar is every bit as active, AND, the Intelligence gathering and sharing crosses the sexes. I've not been for a year or two due to health problems (pre Covid) but Pattaya is unrecogniseable from what it was in the 90's, with the exception of the bars and street business. If anything the nightlife looks to be more in your face/aggressive. The way I got around the boredom was, I was able to do a few hours work each day, not only did it keep the coin coming in, it added structure to the day which is essential to avoid the pitfalls. I recall seeing the regular heavy drinkers even back then and remember one guy attempting to have his fry-up breakfast while drinking at least 6 beers, he was totally oblivious to the fact that his lady companion was 'feeding' everyone around out of his wallet. He didn't have a clue how much money was escaping from that wallet. A very sorry state he was in, and not alone. It's a great fun place but if you're not capable of keeping a structured lifestyle, maybe think twice. Thanks for another great video, maybe I'll get out there again soon.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thank you mate and yes I loved your coming too it's exactly what I'm talking about. You do need structure out here otherwise you can wander off the beaten path very easily. I hope you get out here soon.

I know exactly what you mean by drinking 🍸 ! I lived overseas in the Philippines, Japan, and Guam. After 9 years of heavy drinking, Asain culture. I returned to the USA a total alcoholic ! Now, after 11 years of Sobriety, I'm returning to Thailand for a month. I'm going for nightlife without the drinking. So I'm glad you mentioned AA Meeting being held there. That's where I will be for sure. Thanks for the great video !!!

The toughest part of my two weeks in Pattaya was actually waking up early in the morning for my private Muay Thai lessons. Not because I was hungover as I can control my drinking but because I knew that I could be with a girl, drinking by the beach, hanging out with other foreigners etc. Once I was done with my training the beer tasted better because I felt like I earned it, and it made my trip that much better because Pattaya has more than bars, girls and living like a two week millionare it has an amazing Muay Thai and fitness community.

Trevor, I'm an older guy.. over a four year period I spent total of 2.5 years in Thailand... Had a ball.. Lucky not a reg drinker but can binge it.. I rarely would drink during the day and tried to do the gym and hotel pool most days... I loved the routine and going out to beer bars... I built a bar in Patong and ran it for about 6 months... What an eye opener to the girl culture from an inside perspective... So you are very very right, don't drink during the week, exercise in any form and be careful around the girls, they can wrap you up, most long term bargirls charming liars with a few sponser, NOT JUST YOU! If you get a long term girl that you live with, they are pretty good alround...remember you can be an alcoholic in any country, best stay home...

If you have issues with impulse control then Thailand, Cambodia or even SE Asia in general can be problematic. Whatever your vice is, you can find it at a price you can afford, at least initially. This makes it a whole lot easier for your vices to take over your life with predictable results.

Really good advise as always..i would say also the main reason someone has a drink at 7am is due to alcohol dependance and not being able to face the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. If its purely boredom then they got off lightly in my opinion. Keep up the excellent videos.

Perfect mate

[@ExpatriatePaul]

TRUTH!!!!! I've been into working out most of my life, and I primarily lived in Pattaya for the golf, but going in for golf in the morning I was one of the few, if not the only one not drinking something alcoholic with breakfast, as early as 7 a.m. Additionally, a neighbor of mine, a Kiwi who was an intelligent guy, ignored a lot of adverse health issues he had and ended up dying at the age of 55. Some people think that's no big deal and living everyday as a never ending series of whim indulgences is the way to go, if so up to you, but I didn't survive my life's adversities to go out like that.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Nice one

[@danielbowater1585]

Yes, part of the problem is starting a morning or midday drinking routine especially in central Pattaya where all the temptations are at your fingertips. Being in that environment at that time will always screw the rest of your day. I had a personal rule where I wouldn’t drink alcohol until after dinner time and only visit the entertainment venues after 9pm. The perfect day was spent exploring historic sites/koh larn/golf etc outside central Pattaya, followed by a Thai restaurant dinner and finally some late fun on soi Bukhao or soi 7. If you are selective with your partying it makes everything far less costly, both in terms of money and your relationships with other people.

Just retired and no working since more than 4 years all I did was staying in my 2 rooms, going to the supermarket from Monday to Saturday and chat or play free of charge games on my laptop. I didn't get bored. Sonn moving to Jomtien or Bang Saray, get a motorcycle and do tours around that area again. Drinking has never been an issue since I always coud stop before getting drunk. And I simply can't afford it to drink that much every day. And women? I better sleep alone than engaging with someone who has no regular job and tends to flirt with other "potential" customers. Good tips - but I feel pretty safe. (I was living in Thailand for more than 9 years from 2010 until 2019 already.)

I wake up drinking. And drink until I go to bed. Every day. But when I moved to Florida, something happened down there. Florida has a lot of events. And you can have a lot of fun there. But if you're drinking, you miss a lot. So I started watching my drinking so I could have fun too. But I didn't stop. After a few months, my friend came by and offered me a beer. It was good. But when I woke up the next morning. The beer was still on the kitchen bar with only one sip taken from it. Then I realized I had stopped drinking without knowing it. You opened a door. Maybe I wasn't bored anymore. I had friends to do things with. But when I moved back home , the drinking Came back. People don't want to do anything here. Unless you want to sit around and talk mean things about others. That's depressing. No life.

You 're right Trev, surprisingly boredom is a threat in Pattaya. I got into a rut, staying in my room. Feeling there wasn't any point going out. Just more of the same. Everyone pretending to like you, when all they really want is your money. Well, duh? Just like every other tourist destination in the world. Thailand is the best fantasy for tourists and expats in exchange for money. Beats being back home in the rat race spending your money just to survive. I forced myself to go out and try new places. Luckily I found a great gogo club off walking street. I was sitting on a bench with one girl when another walked up. In one quick move (I still don't know she did it) she stood on the bench straddling over me, turned, and suddenly we were cheek to cheek. Hello? It rekindled my will to live and have fun. It became my "go to" place. I had to force myself not to go every night, only every other night. I hope it's still around when I return.

Another great video Trev, Pattaya is a great place for a few weeks blow out, but very different to live in. I enjoy my holidays there, but know only to well I would fall into all of these traps if I lived there. Good point about the women they have a better intelligence system than the FBI, I was reliability informed by a Thai lady that there are several thai websites where, (joining is by invitation only) Thai ladies can sign up to, and the whole purpose is to share information, so if you have a Thai friendly account and chatting or seeing different ladies, they can post your profile to the site and ask others if they know you or what your MO is and are you lying your head off to win favours 😁😁 As Trev says they can easily find out what you've been up to. The last thing you want is a confrontation with an angry Thai lady, who you have been lying too.

[@philyew3617]

Agree about not wanting that confrontation... If you get yourself into that situation you will find that the 'Lady' will have at least 4 heavies watching her back. You will, if you're lucky end up in hospital. And no-one, including the Police will step in to help. The attitude is "It's your crappy mess, tough sh1t, get yourself out".

Scuba diving is a great thing to do in Pattaya if you're bored, it gets you up in the morning which helps keep you out of the bars. It gives you a day of activity out in the sun and you meet loads of new people. There is actually a really large variation of dive sites and the schools can provide you with enough courses to keep you occupied for a few months.

Have a good bank balance. Have a good health insurance policy. Don't lend anyone any money. Don't believe you can own a house and land here. Stay off riding motorcycles. Pay for play and get away. Don't bring any girls back to your residence. There's plenty more to add but then your common sense should take care of that? Keep Buzzin!

I can see how the drinking could become a problem. Every since my wife passed away, a few months ago, I have been having a few glasses of whiskey, every night, to help me sleep. I know I should stop, yet, every night as bedtime draws nearer, I find myself pouring a glass. I still have to go to work every morning, so I haven't let myself get out of control, but I know I easily could If I didn't have to work.

Hello from California, USA… yes… I have a sister that lives in Las Vegas, amd sometimes I will take a Harley Davidson trip through the desert amd visit her… we will have a drink amd then because she lives there she will go back to her place, but me, I’m still drinking 2 days later because Vegas never closes. There was a mate of mine that said , l”Where do people that live in Vegas go for holiday… the answer is Thailand!” Lol

Hi and welcome

[@paulknight6496]

Probably your most informative vjog good job

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thank you and glad you enjoyed it

[@loialslayerartgaming1186]

You forgot one Trev, if you are in an area off the beaten path you may find that no one around you speaks your language. If you haven't learned Thai and haven't found someone who speaks the language you do it can be very frustrating. Not to mention that humans are social animals. If you can't adapt or can't learn to communicate you can find yourself feeling isolated and alone.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Agreed mate language barriers often cause many problems especially as you said in remote areas

[@DD-vl3ku]

@@Buzzinpattaya let’s not forget the wonder of technology and smart phones. I fondly remember getting on a bus when I was approached by a Korean couple in Thailand who were lost asking me for directions via a translation app to an area I had no idea. Neither of us spoke Thai. They didn’t speak English. I didn’t speak Korean. Yet we connected. For all its faults, technology does have the ability for us to forge a connection, however remote, however distant. Also, you’d be surprised how much youtube Thai language videos help when you put in daily practice. Thank you Trev, happy new year!

Good'aye Trev I came to Pattaya many yrs from ago from Aust love the place . I recall like you were saying during the pandemic started drinking alot! Put on alot of weight but once I got into walking and going to the gym I lost weight about 10 kg and never felt better yes even at home bordem and drink can kill never mind the girls I agree 2 out of the 3 will definitely get you if your not careful .

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Yeah you're right mate, cheers

[@DavidInnes-o6e]

@Buzzinpattaya can't believe it true to your word you actually replied even as busy as you are thank mate your a legend .

[@paulford8651]

Maybe i'll stick to bird watching, temples and meditation. It seems a safer 'healthier' option...555

The land is so beautiful that sounds great. I don't think it's got a very ancient culture not sure. But hiking scuba diving shallow if there's a barrier reef I'm sure it's gorgeous there...never been

[@joeyundleo7766]

Just explored your channel, keep it up! You seem like a good guy! Even I never was in Pattaya, but almost everywhere else in Thailand (we have a house in Isan). But yes, alcohol and boredom, are may the biggest dangers here, especially if you‘re the guy who usually don‘t say no to a drink. And alcohol is a big issue in Thailand. Also with the locals, in the countryside it is not uncommon to have a beer or lao khao in the morning. So yes you deffo need hobbies, sports, travel whatever…. Take care

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Cheers mate

[@lucalbert4185]

I was dating a nurse in BKK and then took a girl out in Surin and then nurse showed me a photo of me with the Surin girl....it's unbelievable

[@Buzzinpattaya]

wow

[@ActiveAussie2024]

It's better just to keep off any social media over in Asia. However, if you take pictures together with Asian gals expect it to be posted on some site. If you have a GF or wife she could easily come across your pics doing sone image search. Thai and also Chinese women can be very vindictive if you cheat. I was married to a Thai, didn't cheat, but they can be nasty if provoked and angry. I had a Chinese GF ( in China) who had a bad temper also. Also in Pattaya, girls also go to bars for recreation, including bar girls themselves. If a girl tells you she really likes you and wants to be with you ( even in Pattaya sone women genuinely like foreigners) and you show interest in her she will be pissed off if she finds you in a bar with you arms around another gal. This happens a lot. Not drinking too much is a good point also, as drunk people are more likely to be attacked or get into fights. At least you will get a black eye, killed even in some circumstances.

[@davedenham8697]

Spot on Trev…….newbies take note!

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thanks 👍

[@jorgenmansson4269]

The most dangerous thing about moving to Pattaya is the foreigners who are already living there.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

You are not wrong there my friend

[@martynjohncollins5587]

Same in Philippines

[@michaelb2388]

​@Anthony Smith there are loads of down on their luck falangs in SE Asia who will befriend you and try to rip you off.

[@dantheman11121]

I would definitely believe that!

[@jasonjudkins2056]

Nice one Trev good content as usual. I think I missed the opportunity of going to Pattaya, when I said to my misses, I would like to go for a walk down walking street (like the Chinese flag following tourist), my misses has already told me if I go there and all she did was made the ✂️ motion, I don’t want to be like John Wayne Bobbitt I.e frakendick. I’ve only been to her village and your right, to easy to drink.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Ouch LOL

[@hawaiilane155]

These mistakes are international and not just isolated to Pattaya ha ha. But very good advice!

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Yes you are right thank you

[@rhread]

Thank you so much for the video. So much wisdom in it

[@Buzzinpattaya]

[@CarlWiganerUK]

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Fantastic mate come and have a great time

[@miken3203]

Well said Trev !

[@kwalk4804]

why you say that?

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thank you

[@jpthetravellingaussie813]

Good advice. I’m surprised there wasn’t a 4th….unprotected you know what. Forget the medication side. I’m talking getting stitched up for child support etc.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Yeah I will do a follow up soon

[@stillben]

great concept for a video. hadn't thought about this before. like the cycling idea.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thank you

[@louisdisbury9759]

The secret guys is to keep on the Move dont get stuck in Pattaya I live in Phuket great place for Scuba diving and motor bijking especially the southern provinces and allways girls if you find out where to go.Ive travelled all over South East Asia mainly by road and without a doubt if I want to party Bangkok and the girls their are the best bur neverforget everything costs dosh here which ever way you play the game,I stiill like Pattaya for a few days but thats enough for me.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Good shout

[@antoniovega4978]

Hey Trevor another great video and good points on thing that could happen in Thailand (Pattaya). Also great advice on the Thailand Communication, the Thai women radar/communication networks. I think its better than any Secret agency in the world, they can find you, you can't hided. So don't think you can play games with Thai women, they will get you. Keep up your great video Trevor.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thanks mate much appreciated
