Young blokes I would roughly define as 35 or below, or for that matter those of you that came here at a young age and ended up staying for the long term.
I'm just curious about your story, and reasons. Did you come here as a traveller, like it and decide to stay? Fall in love with a woman? Like the womanising and night life? Drop into a decent job, or find a decent opportunity? Or just get by as best you can?
For the people that came here at an older age, our story is- at least economically- a bit different. Basically, we've done our main work, made our main money- Be that in investments or a pension income. We're here for lifestyle and perhaps cheap retirement, not usually career. Most of us have a Thai wife, usually not our first wife.
Most of you guys have no such financial security. So you've either got to make it yourself here, or at least get by with what you can earn here. Unless of course you are on a cushy expat contract.
Is Thailand your home, or do you plan to move on one day? Are you married, or playing the field? Are you happy that you came to live in Thailand, or do you sometimes feel that life is passing you by in the real world? Do you plan to leave Thailand for financial reasons, but then come back one day with a few dollars in the bank?
Just curious.
