Welcome in paradise! I live in CM since 2011, most of the time, with trips back to France; like you, I like motorbike trips all around CM , wonderful scenery...(50.000 km with my Xmax during the covid period).and we have everything here....and no crappy tourists coming for booze and girls....(and funny remarks about the smoke; of course, not pleasant, but those critisizing may smoke 2 packs a day and complaining about the pollution!) Have a good day
It's good to hear a success story 😊 👍
I live in Samoeng and there's a really stunning road to Pai which is longer but very few cars and more fun to ride. I would recommend doing that when the rains stop because it's often raining on and off when you get up about 1000 meters this time of year.
I’am thinking of spending sometime in Vietnam during Songkran next year. Once you experience it, not keen on being in Pattaya where I live for the last 5 years during the week it’s happening, been there done that. Also it’s the hottest time of year, very interested staying in Dalat in Vietnam, it’s situated in the mountains and is a lot cooler and a popular town! My main pastime is keeping fit, joined a few different groups playing Pickleball, Badminton and Beach Paddle, great games for us older folks, it’s a lot of fun too😊. I intend staying in Thailand, but I do recommend all the other nearby countries to visit, so much to see and experience, flights are reasonable and accommodation and food can be even cheaper, depending on where you go!
I have lived here in Chiang Mai (a little outside of town) for over 10 years. Three tips for you:
1. Thai food is not healthy in the long run, even if it is advertised otherwise. Cooking yourself is an advantage. As you said, you can buy everything here from all over the world.
2. Your swollen foot: You are at an age where you deteriorate quickly without exercise. Sign up for a gym near you, do some running and weight training and you will notice how much better you feel. In any case, the deterioration will be slowed down. ;-)
3. You should treat yourself to a medical check-up, especially a blood test, every 1-2 years. Independent doctors and some clinics always offer special offers for a limited time.
3 good tips 👌
Great video Peter see you in 4 weeks.
Glad the first six months has gone so well for you Peter!
Well done Peter! I've learned a lot from you.
G’day mate if I could make a suggestion for the swelling in your feet if you have a pinch of (Celtic salt) put a pinch on the back of your tongue wait for 15 seconds and chase it with a glass of water that will help the fluid absorb into your muscles better and the fluid buildup swelling I used to get elephant ankles and the Celtic salt fixed it for some reason it got worse for me when I got to Thailand
I'm going to try that.. tomorrow, I will find where I can get that salt 🧂 thank you
I will love to meet you, Im coming to Thailand in the next couple of mths and will love to meet you ,i dont drink and smoke and could be frugal when the need be ,I will need someone to give me some pointers, and things to do on my retirement. 😮
Nice recap of your first 6 months. I remember those two weeks during the burning season, it was unbearable. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks, Fred, you to 😀
I normally do not watch or comment on these Thailand videos, but someone such as myself whose been here in Thailand a long time (14 years), Thailand is not for everyone, especially for women more than men (might get some hate from that statement). I personally enjoy my life here, though it has some frustrating moments, it's simply a normal life. I'm not out petting elephants standing under waterfalls, and meditating with the monks. It's just a normal life with the same pro's and con's of a married life anywhere else in the world.
You seem like a nice guy with his feet on the ground.
Thank you
I was there then other day loved it there
Looked around your channel a bit. Pretty good stuff.
Any formal training or education in Thai language in your future?
I wish I had the time plus I hear that having an Aussie accent makes it very difficult. So probably not 😉
I have booked to come in November for a month 3 weeks out on a motor bike tour
Perfect time of the year.. it's going to look amazing in the mountains and my God the roads are a biker's dream. 😀
I think you mean pulmonary embolus rather then oedema
Pulmonary oedema may have been a symptom of having the blood clot
Get ya ticker checked if your feet are swelling
An ultrasound of your heart would be recommended
Did you take the "safe and affective shot" that could of contributed to your illness by any chance? Just asking. I will be in Chiang Mai from October, My 2nd visit to Thailand, first to Chiang Mai. Good video ✌
@@joesewell309 amazing how you freaks blame everything on Covid vaccine 🥱🥱🥱
I'm struggling to understand why you, or anyone, would choose Chiang Mai as a place to live? The place looks nice, but it is the pollution I'm thinking about.
It's about 6 of the 52 weeks in a year. I experienced it the 1st time, and next year, I will probably spend a month on an island in the south. ⛱️
@@DiscoveringThailand If it weren't for the pollution, Chiang Mai would be high on my list of retirement places, but with so many options, I will only be visiting. Countdown on, 6 months left in the rat race :)
No mention of the Female situation ?
The eye candy is really nice, but I'm resisting... just lol
Well done on your first 6 months mate. See ya soon!
I hope Perfect Homes bought you a few coffees mate😎
🎼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Interesting to hear the ideas of a fellow non drinker motorcycle enthusiast. I'm based in Cambo but have done numerous motorcycle trips to Nth Thailand over the years. It's always in the back of my mind to relocate there at some stage, with a month or two spent in say Dalat Vietnam to avoid Songkran, pollution, and heat.
You seem to really know what you want...Not just drinking your life away. 😊
I get my ankles / feet swelling whenever I go over there , after 3 weeks it stops. Apparently its to do with the heat and yourbody pumping more blood to keep you cool .
Are there other places in Thailand that don’t experience the burning season.
No, but the further south you go, it's much better.
Many of us in CM go to the islands for a month. This year I go to Koh Chang.
@@stevemahoney6493 Yes I might head for Koh Chang next year :)
@@stevemahoney6493 may I ask how you get to Koh Chang? Overland or use the small airport?
I would fly, cheap and quick
Can I just donate a big bag of coffee beans?
Swollen sweet are not good. Going be a sign of an upcoming heart attack. My mom ignored the edima on her feet and died of a heart attack a month later.
My mum too she passed ,and I noticed it 2 wks before.
@@yverak5504 May she RIP
