Most people I know who moved here permanently partied like crazy for the first year. Then you either start to get bored and find hobbies & other things to do, or else you party on and go broke or get sick and go back home with your tail between your legs.
I worked in Thailand and i seen fellow workers fall in that trap, fall in love , debit card drained, depression, realizing they were one of five dating that girl

I dont get why dudes think that a girl is only with them exclusively. If you were not landing 10s over in the country you came from, you are not landing them there. People do not seem to get that it is a transaction, not a relationship.

Adam, everything you said resonated mate. I've been here 12 years and I've seen so many people fall by the wayside due to alcohol and other vices. The recent plague cleared out a lot of my acquaintances/mates as well. I'm certainly no angel, but I've always had my work to keep me occupied which has certainly helped!

Always love your videos, Adam. Not only are they always edited super pro (music, engaging cuts, fun narration etc) but you also always bring authenticity and life wisdom to them, too. I really think that if anyone or anything can convince people to watch out for themselves a bit more (important amongst Thailand expats no doubt…), then it’s people with your good attitude. Keep it up, you really come across as such a decent dude.

Great video, I was wondering if this was a big problem, makes sense that it is. I live a balance life in Oz and was thinking that would change moving to Thailand. Good to see fellow like minded health focused people.
Awesome Vid Keis. Lion's Mane is no joke, that thing works for focus very well. Highly recommend it.
when i was in pattaya for first time in january i was mind boggled how many men just sit there with a beer in front of them ALL day long like that is a happy retirement for them. sad. Also realized how everything revolves around alcohol in that city. If you not into drinking/partying and sitting in bars it can be a lonely place just walking past all these places I would walk around for 3-4 hours no problem but got kind of boring after a few days since I wasn't partying
Loved this video ❤ your positive energy and attitude will keep you healthy and living longer. So many things to do in Thailand without succumbing to temptations all the time. I hope to move there one day and do some surfing to keep me healthy and happy ❤🙏much love and respect from Japan
Good to see you boys having some fun! 😊
Moved to Pattaya two years ago, not on Holiday mold but every once in a while, I have fun and throw some money around...LOL. I have been sober for almost 38 years and great AA here in Pattaya. I am careful with friendships with expats, usually not my cup of tea but met some great guys in AA. I am trying to work on my health and fitness as my hobby. I travel around Thailand and the world as my other hobby. I don't take women here too seriously but I so appreciate that I am getting woman way of out of my league and alot of them. I treat the women here with kindness and generousity.
Go karts. That's awesome I'm coming down in October and this just makes me happy. I was mostly going for the bars but it will be nice to find some other things to do
Keis, I told you about this racetrack quite a while back , I’m glad you finally got there !… I was flying around this track back in 2013 racing my brother and a dog ran out onto the track,.. slowed us down big time because we didn’t want to hit the poor thing,.. but those carts scream !
Great video! I seen you in March weaving through traffic in BKK. Decided to pull the trigger and make the move. I'll be officially moved to Thailand August 8th! Hoping to land a personal trainer job. Thanks for the good advice from all your videos.

Solid advice. And can happen elsewhere too. Karts looked like a blast. You were as giddy as a kid after driving. Definitely "good vibes." Cheers.
Really good advice, getting out of " Holiday Mode " was hard for me back in the day.
Try some of *Lawrence Osborne's* novels. He's a Bangkok resident who captures the Bangkok farang vibe (that you mention in this video) perfectly. Bangkok Days 2009 is my favourite but the more recent The Glass Kingdom is awesome as well.
Never been there but all these videos center around self-control being a must!
A buddy and I ran in to Sam at the Bangkok airport 12/30/23 and he was just as he is in his videos super chill. His channel and yours are a staple of mine 🫡

Awesome to hear you have discovered reading. Reading is the key that will open doors to knowledge you never even knew existed. As a bloke that owns many thousands of books here is one you will enjoy 'Dispatches' by Michael Herr. It's about his experiences as a war correspondent in the Vietnam war. About half the scenes from Apocalypse Now were lifted from this book and therefore actually happened. Very easy to read, yet very deep.

i used to do nootropics, the harder stuff than the mushroom stuff (modas, armodas, etc). lions mane is where its at for brain health. Also, the reading thing happens to me as well and im told its a symptom of ADHD. The karting looks awesome.
Awesome! next time in Pattaya i'll have to try the karting a day i'm not drunk or hungover 🙏🙏😄😄

Was the Gokarting track just the standard tourist place betwen Pataya and Jomtie or was it a differentent track I don't know of?
Micro dosing every morning with the magic ones with other nootropics like lions mane, cordyceps and the like is where it's at. Benefits go through the roof, lower stress levels, clarity, nerve repair, the glass is half full more often through out the day. It's so good you'd think they'd make it illegal if they couldn't patent it 🤔

A KZreadr campaigning against "irresponsible" drinking and for a moderate lifestyle. Wonders never cease! Thanks for a great episode.
Totally agree I have been a expat for over 10yrs now working in Jakarta, Singapore, Philippines and now Kuala Lumpur. We use to go out always and get smashed and now after many years I just live like I would in Australia and love a normal.al life. We still party and have fun but not always and when I travel for work but I just work eat then relax and I see many loose it it's sad but true.
Cows cut accros me at that go kart track & I had to swerve left at the first right turn & flew off the track & was balancing on the edge of the track & the kart almost fell into the river🤣❗️
The carts are a blast, especially when you have the race carts and then they let some kids loose on the track! We did 3 goes at it and it was really a workout, I was beat afterwards.
Well done mate! Nice to see that other bloke aswell,55555555
I drink way too much when I visit Pattaya. Not sure how I'll go when I move there at the end of the year. Great channel you have Keis. Cheers

theres sooooooo much to do in pattaya that with in 20-40 minutes of the city center a lot of people think its just all drinking and girls now yes that's definitely a part of the city but there is alot to see for sure!
What was the cost of the go karts. They dont have prices on their website.
On my fifo break I come to Jomtien every 2 weeks , and to start it was a blind mess, luckily I have met a great girl and I’ve felt like I can “live” there and not have to party every single trip, as you said, a few “friends” I met early on , I now hardly see, because I just don’t want to sit in a bar all day , every day, sure I still head out a few days each trip, I prefer afternoon sunny day beers than 3am smashed beers, so that helps, but yep it can be a huge trap, living in a place and holidaying in a place are completely different , but that goes with any place in the world, you just have to distinguish the difference
Boredom a real issue with expats in Thailand . Waiting in a supermarket queue and the expat in front of me said , you can go first ,I have nothing to do and all day to do it .
Love your videos, how much was the Gokarts? Is it 30min or 1hr? It could be so cool to meet you I Pattaya some day if you up for meeting sub's.

I went to Pattaya beach and a Thai guy woke me up asking me to buy some putrid dried squid. Saying no was quite easy I found.
Sunday morning in Pattaya, I was going to have some private time with a "friends with benefits". I was in front of a massage parlor waiting for a Bolt to take me to her place. There was this foreign man setting up sleeping on the bench where the ladies set at who give massages. This man probably was so drunk he couldn't make it back to his hotel.
Can't believe you only found those Carts now Keis ,,,,wen I come over ,,,I will have to play golf ,then carts ,then beers ,try keep the booze last

Alcoholics are screwed no matter where they are, and alcohol is legal and readily available nearly everywhere in the world. I have never drunk alcohol but I'm always amused by how former drunks put themselves above those who still drink. Things "revolving" around drinking is a social construct, felling obligated to drink is only experienced by those that drink.

Does Thailand have an equivalent of Alcoholics Anonymous or Sober Living groups? Typically in America if you get a Drinking Under the Influence ticket they force you to go to 10 of these meetings to rethink drinking. I actually hated it, I have a friend that is forcing himself to go without court making him because he is failing all his classes because he is drinking and partying way too much. He likes it because he meets other people who dont drink and they have super boring non drinking parties haha. But it is a free group that most cities in America offer to get people to stop drinking.
