    I have lived in Florida for over 16 years The heat is uncomfortable but you can get used to it some what. I have seen some people use a umbrella to shade out the sun you can look funny using one when there is no rain but it works really good. I used to own a Bar in for 3 years and my personal tip to drinking is drink until you feel that buzz coming then switch it up to water for the next few drinks it will keep you hydrated and help with the hangovers.

    You're a good source of positive enforcement for me. Quit all drugs 33 years ago. Been living in Thailand 30 years. I'm a man , so I know how to handle relationships. I started my own charity 10 years ago.
    Once per month I drive my truck to Prakhon chai and unload bicycles.. food supplies etc.. $$
    Taught scuba on Phuket for 12 years until the tsunami. Dropped in on Pattaya and never left.
    Took up muay thai 2006 and continue to train..
    Every time I go out and see all these guys sitting in bars with loud and awful music.. I am just Grateful I'm not one of them..

    Good advice. I stopped drinking alcohol 3 years ago. I’ve been to Thailand many times but this is the 1st time I’ve came and not drank alcohol and it’s the best time I’m having. I’m treating it like a way of life. I’m going to the gym, going to bed about 11pm and still going out around the bars at night but getting up at about 7am every morning. It’s good talking to the girls with a clear head as you don’t get sucked into this fantasy of love etc.

    You are so right with everything. Coming home was depressing. I found myself bored and missing Thailand and a woman that I spent three days with and leaving would have been harder if I saw her any more. It is a fantasy world, I don't think I ever felt more alive. I was there a month and the TV wasn't watched once. And I spent no time in the bars.

  • @Czechbound
    @Czechbound 2 роки тому +2

    Great advice. I think it's good to mentally prepare yourself before your trip. Really set in your mind the "fantasy" aspect of your trip. You're taking a time out of "real" life, and "real" life will be waiting for you, with all it's attendant worries and hassle when you get back. Before I take a long holiday, I usually book a weekend trip away at home for when I return. When I get home from my trip, I have this weekend trip a couple of weeks later to get me back in "home country" mode. Have a plan, rather than just coming home, and sitting on the couch staring out the window living in the past of your holiday. Get home, and keep moving forward.

    You always know how to entertain... I started going to Thailand in the late 80's and loved it like we all do. But always told myself, don't fall in love lol started taking friends and told them the same... Don't fall in love. Both guys I took ended up marrying. Both were very happy and 1 worked out for a long time the other didn't. The one that didn't want because of money or not being in love. My friend is extremely rich and they lived very comfortably. But in San Francisco. Turned out it was too cold and she missed her family. She went home and never asked for money. Great women. Not I'm married to a Thai so I broke my rule lol I'm still in Calif with my wife and her daughter and it couldn't be better. Planning retirement and looking into the dark side as an option.

    One more thing about the heat. When I was in Jamaica, a doctor who was on holiday advised that you shouldn't drink any booze for the first couple of days. His reasoning was that when you go from a cool climate to a hot one your body swells including your internal organs and alcohol doesn't respond well internally to that situation. Myself I noticed that after a couple of days I would sweat less and I was then ready to indulge, mainly copious amounts of pina coladas.

    Thanks for a great reminder of reality Trev, I have certainly experienced it all first hand. Great advice of the "fantasy" that is Pattaya. My first visit was seriously hard for all the reasons you have stated in your video.
    For me the biggest learnings I have learnt over years are "NOT TO RUSH" into things, take it easy, relax, make sure I have a long enough break to totally unwind, socialise with like minded men (joining Discord is certainly going to make that part of my next trip easier), enjoy every moment and take the time to REST UP, it is as relaxing as you want it to be.
    The only thing I still really struggle with to this day is "falling in love" as the woman as absolutely stunning, great company and they know what buttons to push or levers to pull. I always have to remind myself that this truly is "a fantasy world" and that my real home is on the other side of the world.

    Hello! What a lot of people forget is to leave their expectations and assumptions at home and stay open to how things are in Thailand, and this can lead to frustration and depression. Stay open minded and remember you are a guest in a foreign country and you will do okay. Heat and sweating, remember you are not the only one experiencing it, so learn to let it go, its normal, just remember hydration is key. Everything else, remember moderation. Yes, you are on vacation, but as Clint Eastwood said in Magnum Force, "A man has got to know his limitations." Cheers!

    Great video Trev, so much truth in what you say. When I was a regular visitor I found I needed structure to the days. You can't drink from morning till night and, all your new friends are only friends as long as there's money in your wallet. I was able to do a bit of work during the day, it stopped me getting bored and drinking myself unconcious, it also kept the wage coming in. You have to have something planned to occupy your days or you get bored and lonely, and yes Pattaya can be a very lonely place. OK, so you can drink from morning till night. You see those guys staggering down the streets, stinking because they didn't shower for three days and vomit down their clothes. Never forget guys... Keep your witts about you and you'll have a great time. Drop your guard and pay a very high price. It's just Business to them.

    Hey Trev, again great advice especially the use of appropriate clothing and protection for the extreme heat and humidity plus the need to drink plenty of water. I did disagree about the drinking aspect though and seemed more applicable to people retiring there. For example a tourist is not going to limit his drinks at Pattaya to once or twice a week, but in saying that they shouldn't get smashed every night also. Lastly a great point about the three day rule and wish I knew about it back in the 80's. Found a bar girl on my first visit and still stuck with her today after 40 odd years.... what a mistake! lol

    I prefer the 12 hour rule. Take'm for breakfast and pay them to leave. You fall out of love pretty quick when you see them in the cold light of day and watch how crappy they'll treat you when you don't let them sleep until 1 in the afternoon. They get pretty mercenary when you're walking back to your room for your morning nap and send them on their way.

    I visit Thailand every 12 weeks , I meet the same girl every time . Its good for me because I travel alone and don't really drink a lot . But I am not in love and understand the situation . I am happy in the uk but love my free time in Thailand. To be honest if you go in all the bars yes you will meet lots of beautiful girls . But they are all different and it's not that easy to find one that is a good match for you . This is why I stay with the same girl.

    Another good video Trev. However, your tip on the baht bus comes unstuck if you do it between 11pm and 1am in the morning. A couple of weeks back when trying to get back to jomtien from 2nd Rd corner walked past the baht bus waiting to fill up and went about 500-600 metres up the road. No baht bus would stop. A couple slowed down but took off again, strange because I wasn't even drunk, one stopped and wanted to charge 200 baht to jomtien beach rd, ended up calling a bolt taxi after an hour or so of trying to get a baht bus. Lesson learnt there is between 11pm and 1am always jump in the one that's waiting to fill up. Outside of these hours your baht bus tip works well.....

Your Buzzin Pattaya channel & discord platform has a wealth of information. This is a very timely video for my return, I have purchased a decent camera to do exactly what you have said take pictures bought a couple of prime lenses for street low light & landscape photography. Bringing my golf clubs, looking forward to catching up with new friends I have met thru your hard work, Buzzin channel once or twice a week, not be drinking every day. Will most likely be asked again to play for a pool team. Do the odd Buzzin Island trip, boat trip, Meet new people from all walks of life on your Buzzin Bar Crawls hopefully a Buzzin golf day is on the horizon. Very much looking forward to catching up in Buzzin Bar, keep up the good work.

    Don't tell them anything when you fly back to your home. They won't like you! (Jealousy) and they won't believe you !(Jealousy). Best keep your thoughts to yourself to disappoint all the naysayers and smart arses! Questions like: 'When are you going to the clinic? Have you healed up yet ? Are all derogatory but designed to make you angry! After being here for a few years I went back and visited my local Rugby Club. The same half dozen were still at the bar, same place as ever! They eventually asked ( they thought cleverly) about the threat of catching AIDS! They were smirking : I replied " Oh, I got that once, wouldn't want to get that again! They were dumbfounded, just laughed and never offered another quip!! Be prepared to encounter people that have dull boring lives and nothing better to do! Keep Buzzin.

    Hey Trevor! Great topic. I shared this with you on a bar crawl, you guys do an awesome job of providing a foundation to start from. One of the ways a person can beat depression is a sense of community. You have already provided that through the Discord. If anyone is reading this, please go to the Discord. For me it's been very helpful from finding new friends to recommendations on anything. Also it will help to motivate you to come back. I'm still in Thailand until September 10 but it's nice to know that I can pop in the Discord and stay connected! Keep up what you are doing bro! See ya soon!
