I'm 53, so I've still got plenty of time before officially retiring, but I'm slowly winding down now. Another 10 years and it'll be a toss up between selling the job-lot, or renting my house and giving me an exit strategy if the dream turns into a nightmare. Thanks for sharing, Wyn.

I remember that year well, I was living in Thailand at that time, I had to go back to the UK for a family funeral in May month, I got stuck in the UK until December because of all the travel restrictions that were in place, on my return to Thailand I had to spend 13 nights in a quarantine hotel (prison ) in BKK, I paid 32,000THB for the privilege, it was not a nice experience, some days the hotel quarantine staff would forget about me for my daily 1/2 hr rooftop exercise etc, and the food was not the best! I got out of their prison on Boxing Day 2020, I headed to Pattaya, I got a haircut, a decent breakfast and a few beers to celebrate my release - best feeling in the world👍

Hey Wyn after 18+ months of viewing your vlogs I've finally subscribed including the bell icon👏 As curry houses go in Pattaya I believe that the one in New Plaza about halfway through on the left hand side (if coming from Soi Buakhao) is the best there is. The chicken Madras is the tastiest curry I've ever eaten the world over! Which is fairly outlandish considering it's in Thailand 😆 But the best Thai restaurant/cafe I've ever had my favourite dish of Thai green curry is Da cafe in Chiang Mai near Taipei gate, but a couple of minutes walk away and maybe one road in.

Your living the dream compared to guys in the UK, USA, Australia etc who are working their butts off and needing 5 times what your pension pays just to make ends meet and they have a fraction of your quality of life.
