Time on your own in Pattaya or Bangkok sounds like paradise.... but the reality is , it can be the loneliest place on the planet.

You hit the nail on the head with the “I just don’t want to”. Two weeks into my trip on my own I have met so many people and have had great talks with them. Talked to people from Brazil, Denmark, Canada , Singapore, so on and so on and compared thing to do in Town. I just avoid the usual “pattaya” type of entertainment and go for walks and talk to people. Have struck up conversations over dinner with people siting next to me who also shared what else to try on the menu. Having a great time (except the dentist pains).

I've been in Thailand for a week. Samui, Tao, and now Phangan. I've gone from jet lag to sea sickness to food poisoning. I'm just reading my book until I "recover." Hopefully, I can enjoy Thailand more the next 4 weeks.

@chriz_the_wiz Happened on Sairee beach in Koh Tao. Calamari, chicken schnitzel, passion fruit panna cotta, maybe the papaya salad. I have no clue. Could have been ice 🧊. Sick all night, then had to check out and take a catamaran to Phangan. Ate a bagel after 36 hours. Old farts like me don't recover as quickly

This has been my fear since I started living here 20 years ago. "Idle hands make for the devil's work" or something like that. I am an introverted loner most of the time, but we have to see people from time to time, even if it is the worker at 7-11 or the people walking by at the coffee shop. I quite drinking because I knew where that was going. Sitting on a bar stool at 11AM, waiting for happy hours to begin. We need something to do with our time or we end-up going crazy. Any bar at noon in Pattaya tells the same sad story.

If you're bored and without friends, you need hobbies. I never run out of things to do and that's without even leaving my apartment. You need meaningful interaction with other people from time to time, whether it's meeting up with people relating to a hobby, having a 1 on 1 muay thai session or thai lesson, maybe if you're younger you skate or ride a bike and find like minded people that way. Sometimes even a simple walk can spawn some interesting social interactions. There's thousands of different things but you need to go out into the world and seek it, these things seldom arrive on your doorstep.

KZbin is a great way to learn new skills and sometimes meet new people if you approach it the right way. I started doing it to help other people grow stuff and do tutorials. Now I'm into cameras, A/V, editing, presentation skills, personal improvement, mentoring, consulting, etc. Just think of it as a hobby that teaches you new skills. No need to fancy yourself an influencer or 'KZbinr'. It might happen though when you realize you developed skills that make your life and other's lives better. :)

The people commenting about Mia Nois and drinking beer are in for a big suprise after a few months of living in 'paradise'. Not everyone can handle their own thoughts and demons while living in 'Margharitaville'.
