I was offered the chance to move to Australia from Cardiff in 2003 with my job, I am and always will be a proud Welshman but I’ve only been back twice in 20 years, you can exist in the UK but if you want to actually live you have to move away, life is for living simple as that.

I know the days are dragging on for you but hang on in there for your health sake, no point in going back until you get the all-clear, just imagine heading back to Thailand and you have a relapse, It's not worth the risk, I'm in my fifties myself and I know how you feel stuck this side of the world, but the time won't be long passing and you'll be living it large over their very soon, I can even see you decorating the Christmas tree in the castle, black of course with leather baubles.

Fully agree with your assessment. The same applies here in Australia. Horribly expensive, and the behaviour of many people is very disturbing. I enjoy Pattaya for much the same reasons as you. It's a free and easy place where you can go to the beach, a bar, a restaurant etc and strike up a conversation with the locals and the tourists/ex pats that live there and have a really great time. You can live alone there but you are never far from company and fun, plus it is really easy to get around (and cheap). 3 months to go for you.

Ps...The Police were the same when I lived in Goa bud I actually got to know a few not that I ever needed their help except for a visa extension , but hay if I had I'd have been ok as long as it wasn't really serious even had a couple of numbers on my phone at one point just in case got help with one setting me up with a doctor and got my visa extended due to not fit to travel because of a " bike accident " cost me about £50 between the two stayed 3 months over the 6 but could have stayed another 3 I was told if id wished , that was on my second vist and I had no problems with the letter he gave me to return with other than having to wait in a office for half an hour at the airport while they checked it out all went straight through when checked good memories ...(lol) Later

All the best on your return to Pattaya I can understand why you want to return fair play you just need a hobby as well as your nice 👍 you tube channel I was a real piss head and drug taker when I first went to Thailand over 30 odd years back I cut everything for ten years and still went to Thailand and had a great time with Thai friends mostly I drink still now but know I can't get carried away and love Chang can't stand Leo or any other thai piss you if you can have one nite on the piss ten pints say you can do it and I know you will. everything in moderation. 10 pints once a week won't kill you but will make you happy😊 so much to do especially in Pattaya that doesn't involve bars. Booze women. that won't cost you 💰 money or very little even a hour walk most mornings will do you do much good but also you will feel on top of the moon wishing only the best Webby from Auckland New Zealand 🙏☮️✌️

Fully agree with your assessment. The same applies here in Australia. Horribly expensive, and the behaviour of many people is very disturbing. I enjoy Pattaya for much the same reasons as you. It's a free and easy place where you can go to the beach, a bar, a restaurant etc and strike up a conversation with the locals and the tourists/ex pats that live there and have a really great time. You can live alone there but you are never far from company and fun, plus it is really easy to get around (and cheap). 3 months to go for you.

Still don't understand why you came back for health treatment? Did you not have the correct health insurance in Thailand? Bangkok Pattaya hospital is a very well respected hospital?

It's depressing here to in Cork, I'd move in the morning to Thailand, but commitments here are holding me at the moment, I'm lucky I've no kids, no wife no loans, 2 times a year I was getting out there before covid. So as often as I can now ill get out there. Meet you out there some time.

@@welshboywebby I know it's mad, I got a flight for 685euros and a hotel for 300euro all in, electricity, water, and bath bus outside the door between Pattaya and jontien, a hotel in Cork starts at 250euro for 1 night and a female paddy bull head at reception. Give me a month in Thailand and lovely smiles any day, and I got a 250cc for 130euro, you'd need a mortgage for a long weekend here.

All the best on your return to Pattaya I can understand why you want to return fair play you just need a hobby as well as your nice 👍 you tube channel I was a real piss head and drug taker when I first went to Thailand over 30 odd years back I cut everything for ten years and still went to Thailand and had a great time with Thai friends mostly I drink still now but know I can't get carried away and love Chang can't stand Leo or any other thai piss you if you can have one nite on the piss ten pints say you can do it and I know you will. everything in moderation. 10 pints once a week won't kill you but will make you happy😊 so much to do especially in Pattaya that doesn't involve bars. Booze women. that won't cost you 💰 money or very little even a hour walk most mornings will do you do much good but also you will feel on top of the moon wishing only the best Webby from Auckland New Zealand 🙏☮️✌️

I was getting two bottles of Chang or Leo/Singha etc for 99 baht in Jomtien in some places in June which works out roughly at £2.20 a pint, most places I was paying no more than 70 or 80 baht a 330 ml bottle so roughly around the £3.00 a pint mark, still not bad, I get a pint of Fosters here in Wolverhampton in my local town centre pub The Billy Wright for £2.35 so it’s swings and roundabouts.
