A new financial year and time for a new topic
It has now been over 700 days since I left Melbourne and decided to make my home in Pattaya.
It has been an eventful two years – including a marriage in the package. Not something I actually saw in my Chrystal ball – but something that happened and I have no regrets.
I have also done a fair bit of travel in that time:
· To Pat (my wife’s village) a few times
· Chiang Mai
· Kanchanburi
· Phuket
· Vietnam (twice)
· Koh Chang
· Singapore, and
· A return home to Australia.
A lot of these trips were on Journeys to etc
Out of all these places if I was travelling solo Vietnam and either Hoi An or Nha Trang – more than likely the later would be my choice of a new home.
Anywho the time has come to look for a new home. It may or may not happen – half the fun is going to be in the search.
My next favorite place is Phuket – not Phuket Town or Patong but in the south of the island around the Rawai Beach area.
The reasons for leaving Pattaya? I have many good friends that live here and many that visit on a regular basis – leaving them will be hard. My feelings are that Pattaya has a lot for a single monger or an attached monger with a license – other than that it does not have a lot going for it.
I like beaches – I generally go swimming every day – the beaches here are crap.
There will be ample time to reflect on the reasons and other things (I hope) during the life of this thread.
Anyway thanks for reading and I hope to have your company for the journey.
Cheers and on with the search.
