I was in a terrible relationship and in terrible physical shape for years. After i got divorced i made the decision to become completely selfish, i dedicated my time to the gym and my business, ive never been happier. I'm now in great shape and so is my business. Im single, happy and healthy. The only time i drink alcohol is when im playing up in Thailand for 3 weeks, then its back home to work hard... I love being single 👍
Thank you very much for writing this. I’m glad that you managed to overcome all the problems that you described and you’re now having a content life. I hope this continues for you.

For reasons I'm not going to elaborate on, over the last couple of years, I've become reacquainted with spending most of my time at home, and alone. It's no surprise to me, I enjoy my own company. :-) I'm not actually "single", and I'm not looking to become "single", but were I to become "single", I suspect I would remain so for many of the same reasons you gave. I've spent the last 10+ years making my personal space, as perfect as possible for me. I enjoy being home. I enjoy pursuing my own projects at my own pace without interruptions. Happiness comes from within, and these days, I'm pretty darn happy with how things are right now. Good video, Phil, and not just because I can emphasize and agree with most everything you said. :-)
thai girls company is great until the crazy appears,before you know it she has a pair of scissors to your stomach..i knew my 15 year compaionship was over the moment i started flinching when she'd raise her hand to adjust her hair LMAO
Very good... to each their own !!!! It can be awkward however for others, when it takes 10 days for people to notice you're not around, and they have to find your body in a state of decomposition... Mr Egg doesn't have to worry about that awkwardness, while he still runs the bar. Lots of people are counting on him and they will notice if he doesn't show up one day. Can't say that for a lot of folks in their tiny Pattaya condos... lol
Spot on and when I watched this vlog it resonated as to how I live my life. I'll have a beer on the golf course but not at a bar and then only when my game goes into the dumpster at the turn. Knowing this I too feel a bit boring to others. Instead of watching Tik-Tok I read books. I have a dating app and have given out my "line" but once they ask for money I block them. I feel I'm just an average guy and if you like me "great" and if you don't then just go your own way. I don't need validation to be happy.
G'day Phil mate , i reckon the main thing in life is to be a good bloke and you my friend are a good bloke. Boring - not boring , hair - no hair , 2 wheel motorbike - 3 wheel motorbike . If these things matter to someone they don't matter to me . We reckon you're a legend ! 👍🏼🍻🇦🇺
Very very kind of you to say so thank you. I have a pretty low opinion of myself and that’s not going to change. That doesn’t mean that I’m not in a good place, I just don’t big myself up like other people do.
Bought bloody time👍Kudos to you mate for making this kinda video.. Man, I get everything your saying and where your coming from Egg✊.. It's a carbon copy of my predicament apart from that I'm married to a Thai woman....yet AM single and alone here in Pattaya.... Thank you for getting this kinda msg out there for others to hear that there not alone being single.... Keep up the good word and great video's..✊. Next time I'm in Soi Diamond mate, pop in La Pub, beers on me✌️ Good luck and 🍻.. ..
Many thanks for your comment mate, but I’m slightly confused. You say you’re married, but you’re also single in Pattaya. I’m sorry if you don’t enjoy your single life, but you are not alone. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t I can’t really make up my mind. I’m never happy really. Stay positive and see you soon. Thank you very much.
So much of this resonates with me, Phil! From a fellow 57 year old Englishman! If you ever have the time/inclination to do a recce to Udon Thani I've got an empty condo & will happily take you on a tour of the best single persons coffee shops 5555!! Hope you're well 🤗🙏
Very, very kind of you. I hope you’re enjoying your life up north. I may well at some stage in my life come to Udon Thani, and you can take me to all the trendy places where all the singles hang out, and I can assure you I will leave alone. I just don’t pick people up in coffee shopsmany thanks for the warm invitation.
Great video......love your HONESTY !!! . .. It was a real video, NOT Salesmans BULLS**T . (Like most of UA-cam) or a lot of Pattaya video. It was real true opinion. I ALSO like you and your channel even more now. AND look forward to visiting your bars when i get there.
Great video. Everything you said is so true. Remember people.... it's all about the money. Just take care of yourself and do not allow yourself to be an ATM.
Certainly my experience it’s all about the money. I do meet people that save that their missus never asks them for money, etc. etc. but generally if you delve a little deeper into their relationship, there is a money aspect to it. I think there is a money aspect to all relationships not exclusive to this country. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. Thank you.
This video made me feel okay with myself. I just retired and moved here, for exactly the reasons you think. But i was always introverted, im a technical person, and overall im a boring guy that sits and ponders alot. One good thing is i've met alot of GenZ ladies, and there's a wierd sameness, as that is the generation that prefers looking at a computer screen, and not into running around everywhere. Thanks for the video. I need to pay a visit, as i just moved here in april.
@@LePubPattaya thanks for replying to all my comments. You seem like a good guy. I joined the youtube channel and hope I can get the chance to visit Le Pub when we come to visit at the end of November. Have a great day!
When i was single years ago in Pattaya i use to tell the girls i do not drink. They would always reply hey your a good man. It worked in my favour more often than not. 😂😂😂
In the two years I've visited here and 11 months I've lived here, I think only one girl has asked why I don't drink.I'm in Jomtien, and love how Thai's and expats say "Hua Hin is boring". "Boring" is shorthand
I don’t go to bars that much but when I do, I always receive comments on the fact I don’t drink. Maybe it’s just me seeing it from the other side of the bar being a bar owner, but I always tend to think that whatever their conversation with a girl in a bar I take it with a pinch of salt because they are basically working and trying to make you feel good so you will buy them drinks, etc. etc. I’m not suggesting that you haven’t actually experienced this, but I would just be a little bit cautious of any conversation that you have When the girl is basically there to make you feel good
Well, TBH, 35% of the women in Pattaya/Jomtien have to guzzle booze for a living. And guzzle something else. Other cities, not so much. That said, one of the women in the barber shop I go to (zero children, never dated a non-Thai) went on our 1st date last night. It's super early tho'
Great video. I'm basically a holiday/social drinker and can handle it. Rarely buy it to have at home. Can honestly go months without a drink, no issues. Love a coffee though❤.
It seems to me that one of the many reasons you enjoy your job and being there every day is that (for the most part) you never know who is going to walk in and have a drink and to say hello. That is stimulating in its own way and rewarding to know that someone chose Le Pub out of the hundreds of bars in Pattaya to patronize your place. It’s a credit to you and your bar which is rewarding. 🎉
Yes, always wondering who I’m going to see on that particular day is very rewarding. And generally, I always come away. Feeling good about the days work.
Ive lived in Pattaya for 2 year's now and 100% agree to never give your contact # to lady's. They always wind up asking you for money, every time. Ive enjoyed myself in Le Pub and Milk a few time before, and wish you good luck on the opening of your new place across the soi.
I’m glad you can back up my experiences because I’m pretty confident that that one is correct. Many people will say that you shouldn’t mix with Bar girls, but I know guys that date what they would call regular girls and the experience is 100% exactly the same. They always ask for money.
Wow. That is a very interesting statement. Kind of changes my viewpoint a little regarding Thai girlfriends. But my previous thoughts were probably based more on me being uninformed, and how attractive they can be.
Great vid, I had a similar upbringing regarding alcohol and never developed a taste for it and from my experience with bar/aggo girls, me drinking a club soda was regarded more as a positive curiosity by them rather than suspicion, and when they asked why, I usually say "So I can buy more LD for you". On the topic of being single, I'm certain you have a "Gik" system in place Phil.😏
It's sometimes nice being single and just do what you want with no moaning, but at the same time it's amazing to have that person that you can fall asleep and wake up with. I think it's good to have a partner as you get older too for obvious reasons of being able to help each other and also not feeling lost and lonely like many old people.
Retirement can be a challenge. Like you I've virtually worked every day since I was 16. I recently was forced into Retirement by covid redundancy and some health issues. At first it's great, you're on holiday but soon it can get boring, you have to find a reason to get out of bed. I'd like to travel more but a small pension won't allow that so I save up and come to Thailand for a couple of months when I can. 😐
Your job / hobby is your business, so you are lucky in that respect. Your hard work has paid off look after yourself first. Many guys enjoy the freedom to do what makes you happy , keep enjoying the bar
Great video Mr Egg, try not to be too self conscious; You may not realise it but there will be many people watching your videos that think you are a thoroughly decent, good guy and would love to live your life. A life you’ve worked really hard to create for yourself in Pattaya. Being a good person with good character is far more important than living an extravagant lifestyle, drinking yourself silly until the early hours of the morning every day.., and you have good character. The most important achievement that I can attain is to raise my boys to be good, decent people with good character, which is something that they’ll always have as money comes and goes. If I were your father, I’d be very proud of a man that has been through his fair share of trials and tribulations, soldiered on, worked hard and created a good life for himself in a beautiful place half way across the globe. Also, I think the videos that combine talking about your life and how it fits into living in Pattaya, and your personal experiences in Pattaya, are the most interesting videos.. as opposed to videos about Pattaya itself.
Mate this is such a lovely message to get. I do sometimes think about my father because he died when I was very young and so he has never seen me grow up or seen any of his grandchildren, which is very unfair. Thank you once again for such a lovely comment
After 11 months living in Jomtien, I'm hoping to move to Hua Hin because I don't drink. I'd fit better in a city that isn't bar centric- yet still has a beach, street food, warm weather, and safety. Plus there's far fewer motorbikes on the streets there.
I know someone who moved from Pattaya to Hua Hin. Said there was no social scene there. He made zero friends. Hated it and returned. Not everyone the same, but it was an interesting story.
@@LePubPattaya Unlike him, I already have good friends there. I've been around 5 X. Seems a better for a cyclist and a serial walker. Much quieter beach because it doesn't face a commercial street. I love Jomtien, but different strokes. And each time I've there I meet more folks. It's more retirement tone than holiday tone. To me.
I'm single too and I don’t drink either. Nothing wrong with that. It doesn't mean you are anti alcohol. I just don't need it to have a good time. I do plan to visit Pattaya someday.
I agree! I don’t drink here in Scandinavia because the nightlife sucks. I experience the same. And It’s become very difficult to get attention in public when everyone is so attached to their phones. Dating apps is the world we live in. I think a creative woman a content creator would be perfect match for you.
Pattaya, Phuket, etc. are P4P only, you will not find true love if that's what you desire. Focus on yourself, interests, health, and enjoy your free time. We all know people who just can't be alone. And will be in a bad relationship just for the sake of it.
I hope he didn’t come across as being too negative because I’m not a negative person. Why would you be more attracted to go to a venue if the patron has a rant?
@@LePubPattaya BECAUSE PHIL YOU were HONEST !!! . .. It was a real video, NOT Salesmans BULLS**T . (Like most of UA-cam) or a lot of Pattaya videos. It was real true opinion. I ALSO like you and your channel even More Now. AND look for to visiting your bars when i get there.
I match you with regards to not drinking alcohol and what's considered by most as a boring personality. Your tip about why you never share your contact details is an eye opener. If it wasn't coming from someone whose knowledge of Pattaya I trust, I would have been sceptical. But I know youve forgotten more about that town than I know. On a more mundane level: do you serve food in Le Pub or is it drinks/snacks only.
Thanks for your comment. It might be that I’ve been very unlucky with the girls requesting money but I can assure you it’s either you never hear from them or they ask for money. Never a happy medium. But don’t let my negative experience put you off giving out your number. Just be ready for it. Yes we have a food menu which is on the Le Pub Facebook page. Thanks for watching.
In my experience it's bar keeps who don't drink who are successful and the best company. It's a bit obvious that this will be the case. I do drink but enjoy in moderation. During the working week this means Friday evenings then off the piss for the rest of the week. Holidays are different. I like a beer or three everyday and in the Thai climate I'm usually gaggin for one after an active day of a long morning walk, swimming, doing crosswords and reading, going out for lunch and again walking along the beach front in the late afternoon. My rule of thumb in Pattaya has always been don't drink until it gets dark and because I don't barfine anymore I only buy drinks for older ladies who will drink beer with me and have a good laugh. I never struggle to find these girls or have a great laugh. I'm not single but most nights the wife, a non drinker, is in bed by 9:00pm and she understands that I don't travel all the way to Thailand to be in bed at 9:00pm. I'm looking forward to dropping into Le Pub for a few drinks and a chinwag in October. Always enjoy your videos Phil.
Hey Phil I’ve just turned 60 and we probably are very different, I served in the Air Force and have partied all my life and still do but not as much now. However you know what you are far from boring, have a great sense of humour and I’ll buy you a coke in your bar when I come in January. Keep doing what you do mate. P.s. I don’t normally comment like this but I’ve had a few vodkas lol
Phil you sound like me 😅 honestly i love my own company and agree with your analogy of your life in Pattaya. 😂 See you and your staff again in 3 weeks time. 👍
Thanks for the feedback, Sid. I have got a gimbal, but I had to crop it pretty close and that’s why didn’t quite work out. Accept my apologies and I won’t do it for the next one.
Couldn't blame you for not going out to bars after putting in hours a day running your own. Boring is part of normal life it's called relaxing and chilling out.
Hey Phil... You're a Multi Millionaire too and if Pattaya gave out Oscars for Upstanding Bar Owners you would be a Multi Oscar Winner too! That's why They DO chase YOU!
Maybe you're just an introvert and enjoy your own company most. If you really want to meet a partner, you have to put yourself out there and be proactive. They're not going to just drop out of the sky at your doorstep.
I’ve always been the same even when I was in England I didn’t really go out socially and enjoyed my own company. I have had a few girlfriends over here in Thailand and they have sort of fallen out of the sky. I certainly didn’t pursue them, but I think the tide has finally turned, and I’m not really the kind of guy that anyone’s gonna chase after
I use alcohol as 'dutch courage' but I do hate what I turn into after a few drinks. Would be a much different experience having a sober night out with a lady.
Boring, reliable, don't drink. There are lots of Thai women who would appreciate those attributes, but roughly none of them are in Pattaya. I'm no expert, but I had visited Thailand for 20 years before ever visiting Pattaya. It's a totally different world there. Mostly a fake world. Not a place to find a partner.
Thank you very much for your comment. CK. I have been to other parts of Thailand looking for love and not had very good results whatsoever. I’m strongly of the opinion that most Thai ladies who are looking for a Western partner are already in the Western areas and not stuck in a village somewhere in Issan. I’m also not really geared to trying to find some high so woman in Bangkok because it’s just too much effort 555 Thank you once again for your comment.
@@LePubPattaya While Bangkok isn't my favourite place and certainly is a "Western area", I must say there seem to be the best chances there. Lots of ordinary women in office jobs, in nursing, in service industries and even in factories. Their English is generally way above the level of their counterparts elsewhere.
Hi Phil, I am single at 56, single for a long while now, I think I am set in my ways, I love spending time with women etc but do love time on my own, I think I want old fashion romance, cary grant style but woman are not like that anymore
Yes, I’m absolutely on a level with you on this. I have very much old-fashioned values when it comes to meeting people and romance. Somebody in the comments mentioned that it was just normal to have profiles on various dating apps and to put yourself out there, but I’m really not a believer in that. I really feel that fate plays a very strong hand sometimes and sometimes some people just don’t get the look of the drawer. Thank you once again for your comment. I strongly agree with It
Yes, I do find it quite strange seeing these guys that obviously spend an awful lot of time in the gym only to see them completely wasted on walking straight at 3 AM in the morning
@@LePubPattaya To each his own. Thailand is like what a Western country would be if you removed all judgement of amorous partnerships & survival hustle.
I'm considering a work-related trip to Bangkok in January. I own a business that specializes in authentic Indian and South Asian cuisine and could do with a re-fresh on Southern Thai cuisine by visiting the street food vendors, restaurants, malls, and night markets. After food, I thought it would be cool to meet some girls. But like you, I don't drink alcohol. Plus I don't really enjoy loud music bars, late nights, and big crowds. So how and where can I meet girls? Also, are there cafes and restaurants with Wi-Fi so I can do some work outside the hotel room? If I were working away on a laptop during the day at a bar or café would girls approach me or does that just happen at night fuelled by alcohol? Business first, but it would be nice to meet some girls as well.
Thanks for your comment. I don’t think trying to meet girls in a coffee shop is a good idea. Really, and I know you will all just sigh, but my bar is perfect for you. Fast, secure WiFi, not loud music and girls. I’m really not the sort of guy that gets to meet girls in other places so I can’t help you. Hope you have a great trip.
Mr Egg! Love your content your stories and down to earth Brummie attitude. Where were you walking around? Looked nice. The fact you don’t drink has probably helped the bar be a success. You are not boring, you could get a woman if you wanted one, but you probably don’t ?
This resonates with me. I’m almost 60, non-drinker, face like a melted welly, body like a burst sofa and a bit of an introvert. Retiring to Thailand next year and, with the best of intentions of enrolling in a language school to learn Thai and going to the gym to give myself a chance of living long enough to enjoy my retirement, I’m not sure where I’ll have an opportunity to meet someone in a situation that isn’t based on a ‘business’ transaction.
You have a great talent as a writer. First, I would say, why are you waiting to learn Thai and to get fit. You can do that now, especially the language bit as I found it. Easier to learn Thai, read and write in the UK then I did here in Thailand. Do it now don’t wait until you’re over here.
Just found your channel. Very interesting. You`re a bit like the British version of me! I managed strip clubs for years here in Myrtle Beach, SC after getting out of the military. i don`t drink at all. I`m very boring. And I work way too much. Thanks for a great video.
Think I can relate to most of what Phil says in the video. I've never smoked (no intention of doing so) and don't really participate in drinking. Over the years I've got to appreciate my own company. I can flirt with the best of them behind a computer screen, but when it comes to the reality of putting that into practice in the real world I'd probably prefer a night in with 2 guys (Ben & Jerry) and a pizza. I've never been to Thailand but would love to travel out there. I'd be one of those guys who would have fallen in love with the air hostess before I'd got anywhere near Pattaya 555. Biggest laugh is my mother now fancies going to Thailand. Don't think she's seen anything more exciting than the Magic Mike knockoff at the bingo hall back in the 80's, so that'd be an interesting trip dragging her down Soi 6. lol
Thanks for your comment Paul very enlightening. I never knew you’d never been to Thailand. I hope you get the chance to come one day. Maybe we can share some of that tasty ice cream!
Great Vid Phil! I can totally relate to you on this. I have a business back in the U.K. When I’m away from it I always say I will not do anything work related but still find myself everyday sending out quotes for new jobs even when I’m in Pattaya 😂
Very kind of you, David. Somebody else said that to me this week that I’m too much on an intellectual level for Thai people, but I don’t think so. I can entertain and make Thai people laugh very easily because I have a certain command of their language, but I really don’t ever seem to make a connection with women
This sounds promising Bruce. Can you send me a photo, I hope you’re not a smoker or drinker. I’ve heard about you Australian men. You’re very naughty at times!
Lovely video. Just one disclaimer: please be careful in generalizing observations about a specific segment of the population, to all Thai females. Not everyone is from Isaan, and Isaan also has a middle class. Meant constructively.
Thank you for your comment, Jim, but I’m a bit disappointed that you feel the need to describe my city like that! I know what you mean, but there are good people and bad people, good places and bad places in most parts of the world. Pattaya is uniquely different to most places and for some people they simply can’t take it. Personally, I find the place a little boring at times.
I look forward to having a quality coffee in your pub next trip Mr. Egg. Wish some bars would serve fruit shakes and smoothies as well. I don't really touch booze here at home and have pretty much limited it to vacation out of country only. Even then I'd rather go without.
I would love to serve, fruit shakes and smoothies, but it just means investing in perishable stock that will probably go to waste. I think a bar by the beach or a daytime bar would sell more than the kind of bar that I have. But in principle, I definitely like them
I suspect it's very difficult for a farang to find normal girl with a regular job away from the entertainment industry. One that cares about her health, mental wellbeing and working a normal type life. It would be nice to have a companion for travel around the kingdom and SE Asia but for the most part I don't mind living alone. You know who's a lucky bloke, at least from what I can observe watching his videos is David Strachan. Seems to have a fantastic relationship and is enjoying life. Beautiful and lovely wife in Nong. I'm jealous.
Also the UA-camrs from "Reset w/ Robb" and "Jiu-Jitsu Passport". And maybe the bloke w/ the safari hat who lives married in the north (rural). Trevor's married. I wouldn't marry here- I'm 64, 8,000 miles from the U.S.
Having always been a solo traveler and never actually been on holiday with another person I think traveling with someone would be an absolute no-no for me. I’m not commenting specifically about David Strachan and his girlfriend or wife, but be careful of judging people from the way, they portray their relationships on social media as sometimes we all know that it’s not as perfect as they would make it out to be. I want to stress again. I am not commenting specifically on David Strahan. i’ve no idea what’s going on in his relationship.
I watch Robb a lot, and I find myself in agreement with him on a few certain things, but he seems to have a bit of an obsession with women, flirting with him when I think he’s probably misinterpreting it and also women being scammers. I usually have a stopwatch with me as I watch one of his videos to see how long it is before he uses the word scammer. I don’t think most Thai women are like this. I like Robb and do comment on his videos and I would recommend anybody subscribe to his channel as I want the guy to do well. I also think he seems to be quite heavily influenced by his girlfriend, which is nice but also a little Dangerous at times.
Basically its downhill from now on 😅 Good video from a pattaya veteran 😊 Maybe you cut yourself off.to much staying in and not giving your number out or your details to me seems like your reducing your opportunities. You could always mix.in different circles as you dont drink anyway so the quality of people with similar preferences may be easier for you to match with.
So nice to get this comment thank you. But when I give my number out every single time whether it’s regular girl or bar girl, there’s a request for money. Literally every single time. I just got bored of the whole shit.
assuming there is one woman to suit a man or there is such thing as a right woman is a myth, women practically all offer similar things and it isn't much, plus they're not happy dating down, they have a bundle of choice above them so they generally want to leverage you (they should get get the better deal) for things to work out... or they get bored/cheat or make your life worse. theres a movement now called mgtow because the mask is off modern women.
Absolutely nothing wrong with being single, and saying that you want to be single. And I love your channel. But I get the sense that you don't want to be single and you are trying to justify why you are still single. I'm making plans to retire to Thailand. I'll be looking for a wife and I will be picky, but I'm certain that I'll find one. I know I won't find one in Pattaya, which is where you reference. If you really want to be single, that is totally fine. But if you do want to find ladies in Thailand, they are there and you will find one if you put in the effort. I'm really sorry. I love your channel. But I'm just hearing excuses! If you want a partner, Thailand is the place to do it, but you have to make time for it. Like going straight home and going to bed. Well, duh, that rules out the chance of meeting someone that night.
Paul, I agree with these comments. Sometimes I want a woman long term and I feel there’s something very wrong with me. But, Paul, sometimes I just want to be alone. These are excuses in a way. Thanks for your comment.
hi Phil .... don't know why but it feels like i've seen this b4. same with a bunch of other videos.... oh wait i'm a member. i smoke girls don't like that, i don't drink much(if you recall)and ya i'm pretty boring as well. i'm also a butterfly. and like you am 57 so i understand girls are more interested in my wallet than me. any ways see you next time i'm over, december maybe something like that depending on what the bank account has to say.
Thanks for telling everyone that if they want more content like this, they can join the members! You should be my promotions manager Alun. Hope you are OK and see you in December I hope.
I suppose mate the kind of girl/woman a lot of men would like, you wouldn't find hanging around in Bars ? Must be thousands of women in Thailand with a more long term focus on a relationship then the kind who are `what can we do next` outlook.
10+ girls have received my line in Pattaya. Lots of chatting but 0 request for money…but I am handsome ;-)….great comment of alkohol though 100% correct
I agree with this comment. I live in Pattaya, so I’m generally talking about women that live in this time. Not necessarily working in the entertainment industry.
I was in a terrible relationship and in terrible physical shape for years. After i got divorced i made the decision to become completely selfish, i dedicated my time to the gym and my business, ive never been happier. I'm now in great shape and so is my business. Im single, happy and healthy. The only time i drink alcohol is when im playing up in Thailand for 3 weeks, then its back home to work hard... I love being single 👍
Thank you very much for writing this. I’m glad that you managed to overcome all the problems that you described and you’re now having a content life. I hope this continues for you.
You and me both, i work all year and spend 2 weeks in pattaya!

For reasons I'm not going to elaborate on, over the last couple of years, I've become reacquainted with spending most of my time at home, and alone. It's no surprise to me, I enjoy my own company. :-) I'm not actually "single", and I'm not looking to become "single", but were I to become "single", I suspect I would remain so for many of the same reasons you gave.

Happiness comes from within, and these days, I'm pretty darn happy with how things are right now. Good video, Phil, and not just because I can emphasize and agree with most everything you said. :-)

Mr Egg doesn't have to worry about that awkwardness, while he still runs the bar. Lots of people are counting on him and they will notice if he doesn't show up one day. Can't say that for a lot of folks in their tiny Pattaya condos... lol
Spot on and when I watched this vlog it resonated as to how I live my life. I'll have a beer on the golf course but not at a bar and then only when my game goes into the dumpster at the turn. Knowing this I too feel a bit boring to others. Instead of watching Tik-Tok I read books. I have a dating app and have given out my "line" but once they ask for money I block them. I feel I'm just an average guy and if you like me "great" and if you don't then just go your own way. I don't need validation to be happy.
I like it when I can connect with people on this way. Keep up the golf mate. It gets better.
G'day Phil mate , i reckon the main thing in life is to be a good bloke and you my friend are a good bloke. Boring - not boring , hair - no hair , 2 wheel motorbike - 3 wheel motorbike . If these things matter to someone they don't matter to me . We reckon you're a legend ! 👍🏼🍻🇦🇺
Very very kind of you to say so thank you. I have a pretty low opinion of myself and that’s not going to change. That doesn’t mean that I’m not in a good place, I just don’t big myself up like other people do.
Bought bloody time👍Kudos to you mate for making this kinda video..
Man, I get everything your saying and where your coming from Egg✊..
It's a carbon copy of my predicament apart from that I'm married to a Thai woman....yet AM single and alone here in Pattaya....
Thank you for getting this kinda msg out there for others to hear that there not alone being single....
Keep up the good word and great video's..✊. Next time I'm in Soi Diamond mate, pop in La Pub, beers on me✌️
Good luck and 🍻..

Many thanks for your comment mate, but I’m slightly confused. You say you’re married, but you’re also single in Pattaya. I’m sorry if you don’t enjoy your single life, but you are not alone. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t I can’t really make up my mind. I’m never happy really. Stay positive and see you soon. Thank you very much.
So much of this resonates with me, Phil! From a fellow 57 year old Englishman! If you ever have the time/inclination to do a recce to Udon Thani I've got an empty condo & will happily take you on a tour of the best single persons coffee shops 5555!! Hope you're well 🤗🙏
Very, very kind of you. I hope you’re enjoying your life up north. I may well at some stage in my life come to Udon Thani, and you can take me to all the trendy places where all the singles hang out, and I can assure you I will leave alone. I just don’t pick people up in coffee shopsmany thanks for the warm invitation.
Great video......love your HONESTY !!! . .. It was a real video, NOT Salesmans BULLS**T . (Like most of UA-cam) or a lot of Pattaya video. It was real true opinion. I ALSO like you and your channel even more now. AND look forward to visiting your bars when i get there.
Many thanks, Dennis. I hope I can live up to your expectations! See you soon.
Good observation. The constant hawking of products by many channels does get old really quick.
Great video. Everything you said is so true. Remember people.... it's all about the money. Just take care of yourself and do not allow yourself to be an ATM.
Certainly my experience it’s all about the money. I do meet people that save that their missus never asks them for money, etc. etc. but generally if you delve a little deeper into their relationship, there is a money aspect to it. I think there is a money aspect to all relationships not exclusive to this country. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. Thank you.
A fair exchange is no crime!
@@jimgoodreau1245 Agreed. But a fair exchange doesn’t mean being an ATM … 😎
This video made me feel okay with myself. I just retired and moved here, for exactly the reasons you think. But i was always introverted, im a technical person, and overall im a boring guy that sits and ponders alot. One good thing is i've met alot of GenZ ladies, and there's a wierd sameness, as that is the generation that prefers looking at a computer screen, and not into running around everywhere. Thanks for the video. I need to pay a visit, as i just moved here in april.
Many thanks for this. Very nice to hear from you and may I wish you all the best with your retirement.
Awesome video. Really appreciate your honesty. That is a rare find no matter where someone lives.
I appreciate that!
There is a certain peace in being single and content.
Yes. I catch that vibe sometimes.
I like your honesty! Great video! I'm subscribing!
That’s very kind.
@@LePubPattaya thanks for replying to all my comments. You seem like a good guy. I joined the youtube channel and hope I can get the chance to visit Le Pub when we come to visit at the end of November. Have a great day!
@@Laz3rS1xI. Hope to catch you soon.
When i was single years ago in Pattaya i use to tell the girls i do not drink. They would always reply hey your a good man. It worked in my favour more often than not. 😂😂😂
In the two years I've visited here and 11 months I've lived here, I think only one girl has asked why I don't drink.I'm in Jomtien, and love how Thai's and expats say "Hua Hin is boring". "Boring" is shorthand
I don’t go to bars that much but when I do, I always receive comments on the fact I don’t drink. Maybe it’s just me seeing it from the other side of the bar being a bar owner, but I always tend to think that whatever their conversation with a girl in a bar I take it with a pinch of salt because they are basically working and trying to make you feel good so you will buy them drinks, etc. etc. I’m not suggesting that you haven’t actually experienced this, but I would just be a little bit cautious of any conversation that you have When the girl is basically there to make you feel good
@@LePubPattaya Hence the hansum man drivel...Me - always have been and always will be - single.
Funny thing is that while they call us a good man for not drinking, they themselves are pouring alcohol into their tank all night long 😂
Well, TBH, 35% of the women in Pattaya/Jomtien have to guzzle booze for a living. And guzzle something else. Other cities, not so much. That said, one of the women in the barber shop I go to (zero children, never dated a non-Thai) went on our 1st date last night. It's super early tho'
Great video. I'm basically a holiday/social drinker and can handle it. Rarely buy it to have at home. Can honestly go months without a drink, no issues. Love a coffee though❤.
Do you know anywhere that does good coffee?
Same. Alcohol truly is a poison for the mind, body and soul unless its consumption is strictly controlled … 😎
It seems to me that one of the many reasons you enjoy your job and being there every day is that (for the most part) you never know who is going to walk in and have a drink and to say hello. That is stimulating in its own way and rewarding to know that someone chose Le Pub out of the hundreds of bars in Pattaya to patronize your place. It’s a credit to you and your bar which is rewarding. 🎉
Yes, always wondering who I’m going to see on that particular day is very rewarding. And generally, I always come away. Feeling good about the days work.
Ive lived in Pattaya for 2 year's now and 100% agree to never give your contact # to lady's. They always wind up asking you for money, every time. Ive enjoyed myself in Le Pub and Milk a few time before, and wish you good luck on the opening of your new place across the soi.
I’m glad you can back up my experiences because I’m pretty confident that that one is correct. Many people will say that you shouldn’t mix with Bar girls, but I know guys that date what they would call regular girls and the experience is 100% exactly the same. They always ask for money.
Wow. That is a very interesting statement. Kind of changes my viewpoint a little regarding Thai girlfriends. But my previous thoughts were probably based more on me being uninformed, and how attractive they can be.
Thanks for your honesty.
Always!
"work comes first." I think you mean I come first. Nothing wrong being single.
Absolutely, and I hope the video doesn’t come across as me being needy and wanting some woman in my life because I really don’t
any update on DAO, the beauty from MILK ?
Great vid, I had a similar upbringing regarding alcohol and never developed a taste for it and from my experience with bar/aggo girls, me drinking a club soda was regarded more as a positive curiosity by them rather than suspicion, and when they asked why, I usually say "So I can buy more LD for you". On the topic of being single, I'm certain you have a "Gik" system in place Phil.😏
I like the “I buy more drinks for you” line. That will definitely work. Smart response. I can assure you I have no gik system.
It's sometimes nice being single and just do what you want with no moaning, but at the same time it's amazing to have that person that you can fall asleep and wake up with.
I think it's good to have a partner as you get older too for obvious reasons of being able to help each other and also not feeling lost and lonely like many old people.
Actually, I think we’re sharing the bed. Part of having a girlfriend is the thing I dislike the most. I just like sleeping on my own.
@@LePubPattayaget a bigger bed
Retirement can be a challenge. Like you I've virtually worked every day since I was 16. I recently was forced into Retirement by covid redundancy and some health issues. At first it's great, you're on holiday but soon it can get boring, you have to find a reason to get out of bed. I'd like to travel more but a small pension won't allow that so I save up and come to Thailand for a couple of months when I can. 😐
Thanks for posting Ian. Hope your health and wealth situation gets better.
Your job / hobby is your business, so you are lucky in that respect. Your hard work has paid off look after yourself first. Many guys enjoy the freedom to do what makes you happy , keep enjoying the bar
I appreciate that!
Great video Mr Egg, try not to be too self conscious; You may not realise it but there will be many people watching your videos that think you are a thoroughly decent, good guy and would love to live your life. A life you’ve worked really hard to create for yourself in Pattaya.
Being a good person with good character is far more important than living an extravagant lifestyle, drinking yourself silly until the early hours of the morning every day.., and you have good character.
The most important achievement that I can attain is to raise my boys to be good, decent people with good character, which is something that they’ll always have as money comes and goes. If I were your father, I’d be very proud of a man that has been through his fair share of trials and tribulations, soldiered on, worked hard and created a good life for himself in a beautiful place half way across the globe.
Also, I think the videos that combine talking about your life and how it fits into living in Pattaya, and your personal experiences in Pattaya, are the most interesting videos.. as opposed to videos about Pattaya itself.
Mate this is such a lovely message to get. I do sometimes think about my father because he died when I was very young and so he has never seen me grow up or seen any of his grandchildren, which is very unfair. Thank you once again for such a lovely comment
You're spot on mate. We are what we are, good luck to you.
Many thanks Matthew.
@@LePubPattaya What is it They say, the early worm catches the bird or something like that.
After 11 months living in Jomtien, I'm hoping to move to Hua Hin because I don't drink. I'd fit better in a city that isn't bar centric- yet still has a beach, street food, warm weather, and safety. Plus there's far fewer motorbikes on the streets there.
I know someone who moved from Pattaya to Hua Hin. Said there was no social scene there. He made zero friends. Hated it and returned. Not everyone the same, but it was an interesting story.
@@LePubPattaya Unlike him, I already have good friends there. I've been around 5 X. Seems a better for a cyclist and a serial walker. Much quieter beach because it doesn't face a commercial street. I love Jomtien, but different strokes. And each time I've there I meet more folks. It's more retirement tone than holiday tone. To me.
I'm single too and I don’t drink either. Nothing wrong with that. It doesn't mean you are anti alcohol. I just don't need it to have a good time.
I do plan to visit Pattaya someday.
Hope to catch you when you do Neil.
I agree! I don’t drink here in Scandinavia because the nightlife sucks. I experience the same. And It’s become very difficult to get attention in public when everyone is so attached to their phones. Dating apps is the world we live in. I think a creative woman a content creator would be perfect match for you.
Sometimes I just feel like I want a very quiet and uncomplicated woman.
Pattaya, Phuket, etc. are P4P only, you will not find true love if that's what you desire. Focus on yourself, interests, health, and enjoy your free time. We all know people who just can't be alone. And will be in a bad relationship just for the sake of it.
Yes. Can think of three straight away
Having a bit of a rant today Mr. Egg !! Le Pub is on my to do list now.
I hope he didn’t come across as being too negative because I’m not a negative person. Why would you be more attracted to go to a venue if the patron has a rant?
@@LePubPattaya BECAUSE PHIL YOU were HONEST !!! . ..
It was a real video, NOT Salesmans BULLS**T . (Like most of UA-cam) or a lot of Pattaya videos. It was real true opinion. I ALSO like you and your channel even More Now.
AND look for to visiting your bars when i get there.
I match you with regards to not drinking alcohol and what's considered by most as a boring personality. Your tip about why you never share your contact details is an eye opener. If it wasn't coming from someone whose knowledge of Pattaya I trust, I would have been sceptical. But I know youve forgotten more about that town than I know.
On a more mundane level: do you serve food in Le Pub or is it drinks/snacks only.
Thanks for your comment. It might be that I’ve been very unlucky with the girls requesting money but I can assure you it’s either you never hear from them or they ask for money. Never a happy medium. But don’t let my negative experience put you off giving out your number. Just be ready for it.
Yes we have a food menu which is on the Le Pub Facebook page.
Thanks for watching.
Relationships take one hell of an effort
Like a job interview. No thanks.
@@LePubPattaya see what i mean. 2 x 20 years+ now Phil for me. I dont think its just the busy job/ business.
It aint no picnic.
In my experience it's bar keeps who don't drink who are successful and the best company. It's a bit obvious that this will be the case. I do drink but enjoy in moderation. During the working week this means Friday evenings then off the piss for the rest of the week. Holidays are different. I like a beer or three everyday and in the Thai climate I'm usually gaggin for one after an active day of a long morning walk, swimming, doing crosswords and reading, going out for lunch and again walking along the beach front in the late afternoon. My rule of thumb in Pattaya has always been don't drink until it gets dark and because I don't barfine anymore I only buy drinks for older ladies who will drink beer with me and have a good laugh. I never struggle to find these girls or have a great laugh. I'm not single but most nights the wife, a non drinker, is in bed by 9:00pm and she understands that I don't travel all the way to Thailand to be in bed at 9:00pm. I'm looking forward to dropping into Le Pub for a few drinks and a chinwag in October. Always enjoy your videos Phil.
Many thanks, Mark. Looking forward to seeing you and possibly the wife.
@@LePubPattaya Great. Will try and drag her along for a shandy.
Hey Phil I’ve just turned 60 and we probably are very different, I served in the Air Force and have partied all my life and still do but not as much now. However you know what you are far from boring, have a great sense of humour and I’ll buy you a coke in your bar when I come in January. Keep doing what you do mate. P.s. I don’t normally comment like this but I’ve had a few vodkas lol
Thanks Roy. I appreciate your comment. Cheers.
Great video Phil,sort of fast show style if you remember that tv show from the 90s,was waiting for the ain't life brilliant at the end 555
I never saw that show. I’m sorry.
From about the late 80s I never really watched TV as I was always working
Phil you sound like me 😅 honestly i love my own company and agree with your analogy of your life in Pattaya. 😂 See you and your staff again in 3 weeks time. 👍
See you soon Dave
Please consider investing in a gimbal for your camera/phone. I was getting motion sickness from watching you bob up and down through this video.
Thanks for the feedback, Sid. I have got a gimbal, but I had to crop it pretty close and that’s why didn’t quite work out. Accept my apologies and I won’t do it for the next one.
You are absolutely right! Most communication is not verbal! I am a fisherman, i catch what ever bites the worm!
Ok, well I hope you catch a few pearls.
I can resonate....😂😂 I don't drink, don't smoke and kinda boring.....work and home to chill and relax...
Exactly!!
After being married for 30 years, there is no way in hell I'd shack up with some young thing and go through all that drama again.
Drama. Yes, a lot of drama in this town. Sorry to hear your marriage didn’t work out. But hope you have a good life.
You don't shack up and deal with the dramas! You only do short time! 1000 bat!
Some really good points.., cheers.
Thanks Anders
Single life is great life. No idea why people want a relationship and actually live with someone.
I flip flop between the two.
A relationship is one thing, but never live with them. No self respecting, masculine man wants a yapping woemyn constantly in his space … 😎
You are a great guy Mr Egg👍🏻
Very kind. Thank you.
Well, I can also confirm from personal experience that Thai girls can also "Go a little bit mad" with no alcohol anywhere in sight! 😅
I have scars to prove it.
Hats off to you. 🙌
Many thanks
Couldn't blame you for not going out to bars after putting in hours a day running your own. Boring is part of normal life it's called relaxing and chilling out.
Thank you for seeing things from my point of view. Cheers.
Hey Phil... You're a Multi Millionaire too and if Pattaya gave out Oscars for Upstanding Bar Owners you would be a Multi Oscar Winner too! That's why They DO chase YOU!
I feel sorry for Morgan Freeman, I met him once you know. He really believes his own BS !!
Maybe you're just an introvert and enjoy your own company most. If you really want to meet a partner, you have to put yourself out there and be proactive. They're not going to just drop out of the sky at your doorstep.
I’ve always been the same even when I was in England I didn’t really go out socially and enjoyed my own company. I have had a few girlfriends over here in Thailand and they have sort of fallen out of the sky. I certainly didn’t pursue them, but I think the tide has finally turned, and I’m not really the kind of guy that anyone’s gonna chase after
I was in a good relationship for 46 years , now single and visiting pattaya with my 22year old grandson, free at last, free at last!
Hope you both have a great holiday.
Being single is great in Pattaya, i like having a few drinks on a Friday. You probably enjoy being on your own after all the barfly chat
Like I said in the video, sometimes I like it and sometimes I don’t
I use alcohol as 'dutch courage' but I do hate what I turn into after a few drinks. Would be a much different experience having a sober night out with a lady.
There’s really no need, especially in Le Pub
I'm boring too! 😂 ❤. Also I see you're by my condo! I'm right next door to that lake/park ❤
I filmed it there, but my condo isn’t very near to there. I like it there and the kids like it too.
Brilliant video, I find that I am similar to mr egg although I don’t live in Pattaya or own a bar there.
Hope you’re enjoying life Simon.
Boring, reliable, don't drink. There are lots of Thai women who would appreciate those attributes, but roughly none of them are in Pattaya. I'm no expert, but I had visited Thailand for 20 years before ever visiting Pattaya. It's a totally different world there. Mostly a fake world. Not a place to find a partner.
Thank you very much for your comment. CK. I have been to other parts of Thailand looking for love and not had very good results whatsoever. I’m strongly of the opinion that most Thai ladies who are looking for a Western partner are already in the Western areas and not stuck in a village somewhere in Issan. I’m also not really geared to trying to find some high so woman in Bangkok because it’s just too much effort 555
Thank you once again for your comment.
@@LePubPattaya While Bangkok isn't my favourite place and certainly is a "Western area", I must say there seem to be the best chances there. Lots of ordinary women in office jobs, in nursing, in service industries and even in factories. Their English is generally way above the level of their counterparts elsewhere.
I’d be very unhappy in Bangkok.
#4 Even when you are in a good relationship, it can be really tough on some days. It's not always easy. Keeping it real..
Yes, all my friends that have got longtime girlfriends. Get a little fed up at times. It’s a grass is always greener situation.
Hi Phil, I am single at 56, single for a long while now, I think I am set in my ways, I love spending time with women etc but do love time on my own, I think I want old fashion romance, cary grant style but woman are not like that anymore
Yes, I’m absolutely on a level with you on this. I have very much old-fashioned values when it comes to meeting people and romance. Somebody in the comments mentioned that it was just normal to have profiles on various dating apps and to put yourself out there, but I’m really not a believer in that. I really feel that fate plays a very strong hand sometimes and sometimes some people just don’t get the look of the drawer. Thank you once again for your comment. I strongly agree with It
Since retiring in se asia, i've had a number of gf's-none over 26yrs.But, all used me for money or holidays.
I miss going to your pub.
You still can…..
I go to the gym a lot. Drinking alcohol does not help to stay in shape.
Same. I've probably had three beers since 1994.
Yes, I do find it quite strange seeing these guys that obviously spend an awful lot of time in the gym only to see them completely wasted on walking straight at 3 AM in the morning
@@LePubPattaya Young people recover faster. 😁
@@LePubPattaya To each his own. Thailand is like what a Western country would be if you removed all judgement of amorous partnerships & survival hustle.
@@ObolonWeenerhow about not having to recover in the first place.
I'm considering a work-related trip to Bangkok in January. I own a business that specializes in authentic Indian and South Asian cuisine and could do with a re-fresh on Southern Thai cuisine by visiting the street food vendors, restaurants, malls, and night markets. After food, I thought it would be cool to meet some girls. But like you, I don't drink alcohol. Plus I don't really enjoy loud music bars, late nights, and big crowds. So how and where can I meet girls? Also, are there cafes and restaurants with Wi-Fi so I can do some work outside the hotel room? If I were working away on a laptop during the day at a bar or café would girls approach me or does that just happen at night fuelled by alcohol? Business first, but it would be nice to meet some girls as well.
Thanks for your comment. I don’t think trying to meet girls in a coffee shop is a good idea. Really, and I know you will all just sigh, but my bar is perfect for you. Fast, secure WiFi, not loud music and girls.
I’m really not the sort of guy that gets to meet girls in other places so I can’t help you. Hope you have a great trip.
Great post,Sounds alot like me,Best wishes see you soon
Many thanks John.
Phil actually admits to being a boring teetotaler and, apparently, the girls agree.
Yep. But I’d rather be myself and fail than be fake just to get a woman. 555. I see this all the time. Thanks Ozz
phil is not boring. i really enjoy his presentation style; very easy to listen to. i'd do a "my dinner with andre" thing with him anytime, ha.
At least you are social and extroverted, if you were introverted is when you would really be "boring" for most people 😎
I love meeting and talking to people, but like being alone at times as well. Thank you for your comment.
Mr Egg! Love your content your stories and down to earth Brummie attitude.
Where were you walking around? Looked nice.
The fact you don’t drink has probably helped the bar be a success. You are not boring, you could get a woman if you wanted one, but you probably don’t ?
It’s a park just opposite the Riviera in Jomtien. By the Ninja BBQ restaurant
This resonates with me. I’m almost 60, non-drinker, face like a melted welly, body like a burst sofa and a bit of an introvert. Retiring to Thailand next year and, with the best of intentions of enrolling in a language school to learn Thai and going to the gym to give myself a chance of living long enough to enjoy my retirement, I’m not sure where I’ll have an opportunity to meet someone in a situation that isn’t based on a ‘business’ transaction.
You have a great talent as a writer. First, I would say, why are you waiting to learn Thai and to get fit. You can do that now, especially the language bit as I found it. Easier to learn Thai, read and write in the UK then I did here in Thailand. Do it now don’t wait until you’re over here.

Think I can relate to most of what Phil says in the video. I've never smoked (no intention of doing so) and don't really participate in drinking. Over the years I've got to appreciate my own company. I can flirt with the best of them behind a computer screen, but when it comes to the reality of putting that into practice in the real world I'd probably prefer a night in with 2 guys (Ben & Jerry) and a pizza. I've never been to Thailand but would love to travel out there. I'd be one of those guys who would have fallen in love with the air hostess before I'd got anywhere near Pattaya 555. Biggest laugh is my mother now fancies going to Thailand. Don't think she's seen anything more exciting than the Magic Mike knockoff at the bingo hall back in the 80's, so that'd be an interesting trip dragging her down Soi 6. lol

Great Vid Phil! I can totally relate to you on this. I have a business back in the U.K. When I’m away from it I always say I will not do anything work related but still find myself everyday sending out quotes for new jobs even when I’m in Pattaya 😂
I must admit when. I go on holiday I make sure everything is catered for. Only contact me if the place is on fire. So far, so good!!!
Phil, I think you are too intelligent for most women. 👍 For most men its the opposite.
Very kind of you, David. Somebody else said that to me this week that I’m too much on an intellectual level for Thai people, but I don’t think so. I can entertain and make Thai people laugh very easily because I have a certain command of their language, but I really don’t ever seem to make a connection with women
Mr Egg yours is such a sad & sorry tale that I will take you on a date. My name is Bruce from Australia. I will look after you ok, no worries.
This sounds promising Bruce. Can you send me a photo, I hope you’re not a smoker or drinker. I’ve heard about you Australian men. You’re very naughty at times!

Many thanks.
Lovely video. Just one disclaimer: please be careful in generalizing observations about a specific segment of the population, to all Thai females. Not everyone is from Isaan, and Isaan also has a middle class. Meant constructively.
Completely agree. Thanks for the comment.
Phil you are single because you want to be.
I don’t want to sound like a jerk but this really isn’t the case.
I don't blame you being single, living in the cesspool that is Pattaya.. I would be too.. but, then again I wouldn't live there..
Thank you for your comment, Jim, but I’m a bit disappointed that you feel the need to describe my city like that! I know what you mean, but there are good people and bad people, good places and bad places in most parts of the world. Pattaya is uniquely different to most places and for some people they simply can’t take it. Personally, I find the place a little boring at times.
Having a business saves you from having to go to Phuket - win-win 👍🏆. +1 (great walk)!
OK, well I do go to Phuket a little bit and enjoy myself there
I look forward to having a quality coffee in your pub next trip Mr. Egg. Wish some bars would serve fruit shakes and smoothies as well. I don't really touch booze here at home and have pretty much limited it to vacation out of country only. Even then I'd rather go without.
I would love to serve, fruit shakes and smoothies, but it just means investing in perishable stock that will probably go to waste. I think a bar by the beach or a daytime bar would sell more than the kind of bar that I have. But in principle, I definitely like them
I suspect it's very difficult for a farang to find normal girl with a regular job away from the entertainment industry. One that cares about her health, mental wellbeing and working a normal type life. It would be nice to have a companion for travel around the kingdom and SE Asia but for the most part I don't mind living alone. You know who's a lucky bloke, at least from what I can observe watching his videos is David Strachan. Seems to have a fantastic relationship and is enjoying life. Beautiful and lovely wife in Nong. I'm jealous.
Also the UA-camrs from "Reset w/ Robb" and "Jiu-Jitsu Passport". And maybe the bloke w/ the safari hat who lives married in the north (rural). Trevor's married. I wouldn't marry here- I'm 64, 8,000 miles from the U.S.
Having always been a solo traveler and never actually been on holiday with another person I think traveling with someone would be an absolute no-no for me. I’m not commenting specifically about David Strachan and his girlfriend or wife, but be careful of judging people from the way, they portray their relationships on social media as sometimes we all know that it’s not as perfect as they would make it out to be. I want to stress again. I am not commenting specifically on David Strahan. i’ve no idea what’s going on in his relationship.
I watch Robb a lot, and I find myself in agreement with him on a few certain things, but he seems to have a bit of an obsession with women, flirting with him when I think he’s probably misinterpreting it and also women being scammers. I usually have a stopwatch with me as I watch one of his videos to see how long it is before he uses the word scammer. I don’t think most Thai women are like this. I like Robb and do comment on his videos and I would recommend anybody subscribe to his channel as I want the guy to do well. I also think he seems to be quite heavily influenced by his girlfriend, which is nice but also a little Dangerous at times.
@@LePubPattaya Come to think of it, he does mention that flirting thing a ton. Especially for a bloke not in a tourist hub.
Basically its downhill from now on 😅 Good video from a pattaya veteran 😊 Maybe you cut yourself off.to much staying in and not giving your number out or your details to me seems like your reducing your opportunities. You could always mix.in different circles as you dont drink anyway so the quality of people with similar preferences may be easier for you to match with.
So nice to get this comment thank you. But when I give my number out every single time whether it’s regular girl or bar girl, there’s a request for money. Literally every single time. I just got bored of the whole shit.
@LePubPattaya yea, i guess there's a limit to the BS one can take. Sometimes, when you are not looking, someone appears like magic ✨️
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Mr. Egg!
Hi Tom
It’s simple it’s because the right woman as not entered your life yet 😊
assuming there is one woman to suit a man or there is such thing as a right woman is a myth, women practically all offer similar things and it isn't much, plus they're not happy dating down, they have a bundle of choice above them so they generally want to leverage you (they should get get the better deal) for things to work out... or they get bored/cheat or make your life worse. theres a movement now called mgtow because the mask is off modern women.
Everybody who is in a relationship says that. But the truth is on 57 I don’t think anyone’s gonna come now.
I love these flow of consciousness talks. It's like Mr egg is a jazz musician and he's just riffin in Pattaya....
Thank you so much. My dad was a jazz musician and I was quite musical until I got heavily into DJing so I like this comment. Thank you for watching.
Three wheels safe ?.
I feel so.
Rare to find people with self-awareness in Pattaya 😅
Many thanks. I appreciate that.
@@it_is_what_it_is2023 how did you come to that conclusion? Thanks ..
@@beerman204 observation without judgment .
I can relate to some of what you said. I am staying single for as long as possible.
I don’t really want to be single all the time. Just sometimes. Hope you’re enjoying life.
"Could've been a traffic warden"....it's good to have aspirations.😁
Nothing wrong with that
Absolutely nothing wrong with being single, and saying that you want to be single. And I love your channel. But I get the sense that you don't want to be single and you are trying to justify why you are still single. I'm making plans to retire to Thailand. I'll be looking for a wife and I will be picky, but I'm certain that I'll find one. I know I won't find one in Pattaya, which is where you reference.
If you really want to be single, that is totally fine. But if you do want to find ladies in Thailand, they are there and you will find one if you put in the effort.
I'm really sorry. I love your channel. But I'm just hearing excuses! If you want a partner, Thailand is the place to do it, but you have to make time for it. Like going straight home and going to bed. Well, duh, that rules out the chance of meeting someone that night.
Paul, I agree with these comments. Sometimes I want a woman long term and I feel there’s something very wrong with me. But, Paul, sometimes I just want to be alone. These are excuses in a way. Thanks for your comment.
Phil, you make your own kind of music, sing you own special song even if no one else sings along.
Oh God, I hope you haven’t heard me singing!
You're not really single Phil, you're just married to Pattaya !
Sometimes I want a divorce!!
hi Phil .... don't know why but it feels like i've seen this b4. same with a bunch of other videos.... oh wait i'm a member.
i smoke girls don't like that, i don't drink much(if you recall)and ya i'm pretty boring as well.
i'm also a butterfly. and like you am 57 so i understand girls are more interested in my wallet than me.
any ways see you next time i'm over, december maybe something like that depending on what the bank account has to say.
Thanks for telling everyone that if they want more content like this, they can join the members! You should be my promotions manager Alun. Hope you are OK and see you in December I hope.
I’m single because I can’t afford a Thai woman
This is sad. Work on yourself mate.
I suppose mate the kind of girl/woman a lot of men would like, you wouldn't find hanging around in Bars ? Must be thousands of women in Thailand with a more long term focus on a relationship then the kind who are `what can we do next` outlook.
Definitely agree with you Lee
10+ girls have received my line in Pattaya. Lots of chatting but 0 request for money…but I am handsome ;-)….great comment of alkohol though 100% correct
Give it time.
Delusional and uninformed.
You don't drink you don't smoke you don't do women what do you do😮
Subtle innuendos follow…….
part-time stealthy serial killer...ha
we had the boston strangler here and they have phil, the "pattaya python"...
You are talking about girls in the entertainment industry , many Thai women don’t touch alcohol…But where you frequent you won’t meet them.
I agree with this comment. I live in Pattaya, so I’m generally talking about women that live in this time. Not necessarily working in the entertainment industry.
