Listen to this man. He summed up most reasons in an excellent way about the bad stuff in Pattaya. I wish I'd had his channel to watch back in the pre youtube days as I made most of these gaffs and lost EVERYTHING. I was lucky I could go home to a family and friends, eat humble pie for a while and carry on with life. Otherwise, I may very well have done the balcony swan dive. Enjoyed your trip to St Davids and glad their Pattaya branch is looking busier than the one up the road from in Cardiff. Bless you mate and good health .

Excellent video, Webby👍. I couldn’t agree with you more (on most things actually🤣) never put your eggs in 1 basket, always have an exit plan and way back to the UK/home country, and never ever buy property in Thailand (including bars) period unless you can afford to lose it, of course. Its Rent Rent Rent condos, villas, and definitely women etc. My plan is to retire comfortably in the UK first (3/4k a month🤞), which means you can live like a KING in paradise. Only 4 weeks to go until my next trip....😁

I do not care if you drink or not drink but your face looking full and healthy since you stopped drinking. I stopped drinking a while ago, tired of waking up tired and with headache. Prefer to wake up early and fresh and I am a bit older than you so got to try look after my health. I had fun as a youngster but now my body different. Thanks for great video. Cheers from Durban, South Africa.

I really feel sorry, for these sad guys, There are millions of story's on line, and Not many turn out well, but the simps still fall for all the Crap, They need to do it like you, because I know for a fact, if the shit comes, with your woman, you'll drop her like a Hot potato. Guys go Very slow, even If the women seems perfect, take your time, All women, can't keep up the pretence, for long, Don't waist your money, on houses, cars and 💩.like you said, many already have husbands, or boyfriends, it's a minefield, out there, Me personally, getting to old and Wise, for that shit.....Retirement should be Stress free, and easy....Keep your money for yourself boys, and Enjoy the sweet shop.....

Good advice there Mark; it’s so easy to fall for a Thai lady. We need the proverbial angel (or should that be devil?!? 😈) on the shoulder to whisper in our ear and stop us ex-pats from parting with our hard earned retirement money to the first person in a long while to show us affection.

Hello Steve Enjoyed the reality check! I've just turned 66, living in Porthcawl, in good health and just about to stop work for good. My plan is to visit Thailand each year by myself for just 2 to 3 months. To be honest, if I retired fully over there, it would probably be in the Philippines for minimum 185 days and the rest in Thailand. Otherwise, my state pension would freeze and never go up again. I enjoy your videos Steve. Paul in Porthcawl

Another great video Webby; you’re looking much better mate. You’re living the dream and are a massive help to those of us who plan to retire out there, giving no nonsense and common sense advice. Lost count of the number of times I fell in lust on my last trip (often more than once a day 😂😂) but that’s all it was..my turn for that day / time of day. Look forward to the budget video as there’s a big difference between living and surviving out there as you’ve mentioned before. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great analysis Webby of why westerners seem to fall short in living the dream in Thailand. Also I think many come here with Western values and concepts about love etc which are simply totally different in the way Thai's think about this sort of thing. The cultural differences are huge and unless they understand all that then its only going to go one way I'm afraid.

Light hearted but highly poignant. There is another big reason why many bail out home. Health, when it happens it can be sudden, frightening and unforeseen. Straight choice between Health insurance and self funding. If you do insure, watch out for exclusions. As you get older, you may have little or no choice but to go home,following a significant health issue. God forbid. Just remember this… Sooner or later, unless you marry or are in a long term relationship with a Thai - You ARE going home.
