Thanks for watching!! Drop me a comment or buy me a coffee to keep me motivated for another video next week. I’m thinking of talking about why I choose Pattaya and how I got stuck here. Http://Buymeacoffee.com/PeteonRetreat

Happy belated birthday!🎉 I hope you had a great one ✌️🎶🎷

Glad you're recovering well from surgery Pete! Enjoy your videos and the info you provide! Hope to visit one day soon! Stay safe!

Love the content and mindset Pete. Speedy recovery.

Thought that you were gonna talk about the 'Once in a Lifetime' floods that happen multiple times/year.

Great video and very informative as always. I will say some of the best things that occur in our lives are unplanned and unexpected.

Nice update bud!!! Glad your doing well......Hi from Pete in Buriram!!!

Very insightful and enjoyable video, Pedrocito. All the best.

Nice vid, Pete!

Hey Pete, good to see ya!

Pete... How are you going with the music scene? Do you go to any Jam nights at bars or private places?

Pete, This Video Resonates For Many Reasons -- Thank You!👍 My Only Real Hesitation In Making The Journey Is The Weather. I Don't Think I Can Get Past The Daily, Monthly, Year- Round Heat & Humidity!😓😓 Over The Past Week, The Entire U.S. Is Baking, So I Can Only Imagine The SWELTERING Conditions In Thailand!😡😡😡😡😡 Also, The Part Of The Video, Where You Talked About What You Thought You'd Do And What You Actually Do On A Daily Basis Was Helpful. Lastly, I Knew There Was Something That I Liked About You. Initially, I Thought It Was Because You Seemed Like A Laid-Back, Hippie Type, Lol, But No, It's Because You're An Only Child, Too! (Of Couse, I Definitely Appreciated & TOTALLY AGREED With Those Sentiments!😏) I'll Be Looking Forward To More Content, Thanks, Again!

555, I enjoyed hearing I am not alone on the Thai language thing. I can make basic sentences and feel quite proud of myself... then the Thai person I am speaking to looks to Joy, My Thai GF with a "What did he say?" look. Very frustrating. And when I am alone and speaking Thai and they manage to understand me, I can virtually never understand what they said to me. Same issue with my French. I actually speak it quite well from living there, but unless they speak to me as if I was a toddler, I can't undderstand. Something weird about my brain to speak but not understand, so nice to know I am not alone with this odd brain thing.

great video, Pete! Hoping to retire to Thailand soon and was thinking I'll probably have the same 'beach day' experience you're reporting -- they sound nice, but will I really go? Same with the gym -- not expecting to be a gym addict, but definitely feel like a condo needs a gym for me to consider living there. Then my first trip to the condo gym will be my first time in a gym in years, so probably won't utilize that either! Hopefully I also won't increase the alcohol intake, but definitely want to find out (i.e. retire & move) sooner rather than later!

Not considering... I AM moving to thailand in 2 months. Im born and raised in hawaii, and my body acclimates to the humidity. But no to Pattaya. Hua Hin is my destination. #Expatlife

Both acclimate and acclimatize are correct. They are synonymous. Basically, it's whatever fits better grammatically, i.e. I didn't acclimate to, vs I haven't acclimatized to...

Yeah...I have NO IDEA what expect...there are so many options on the table. And right now, with what I have happening in my preparation to GTFO, man...I just want to be there. Be with Saifon. Hope to be seeing you by October and my non-refundable 25 night stay in Pratumnak 😅

One surprise for me? Especially since a deciding factor for moving here was the legalized cannabis. But I actually don't smoke weed anymore.

D&D? what version. I haven't played since 3.5 LOL nice video

Thanks for sharing your story. I have never traveled to Thailand and I'm curious about who people (dark-skinned Indians, Mexicans, blacks, etc.) by the locals. Also, have you experienced a lot of inflation?

I relate to you. I shall subscribe.

It is especially hot this year..I have not acclimated either after 5 years. "Alcohol , the cause and the solution to all of life;s problems" Another good walk and talk . You are keepin it real Pete . You are doing a lot of good and helping people. BTW, haven't had pizza in over 3 years and maybe 3 burgers in that time Haha. Self-sacrifice? Am not into gushy romantic stories as am mostly broke and into a polygamous lifestyle. BTW, Knew you would shave 555 Peace and Love Y'all

Thumbs up 👍 Pete

Great video

I have found that no matter where I move... I'm still me. Yes, the change can motivate some shifts in routines and habits, but I'm still fundamentally the same person. I'm uncomfortable in unplanned situations, I have a hard time sitting still for long periods of time... I get that want to live in the moment, and I get that failure to do so. We are who we are.

I'm moving there on Aug 1st Turned 50 last march and saved and planned. Lets hang out sometime when I get there. I'm from Texas and we are different than the brits. I'm comfortable with myself and I'm not proving anything anymore. See y'all in 3 weeks.

Acclimate or acclimatize? Either way is correct. One is American (ate) and one is the King's English (atize.) Correct according to the audience you are speaking too. Talking about accents. Do you remember the Scot stewardess named Caroline? Jerry's friend. Barely understood her English. Your eyes always squinted in the sun and you always kind of withered in the sun. Might explain the non-existent beach days.

Hit up Ko lan the island right out in front of you. The water is clean. I live in Jomtien and I hire a private boat to take me there and back from Jomtien beach. Cost me $75 both ways. Little expensive but well worth it.

I visit Thailand and PATTAYA 9 TIMES NOW also I avoid raining seasons but need to visit once to ck it out and myself want to live couple months of the year when ret .2 more years age 60 need passive income

So your playing D&D, is there a warhammer community??

I am in ban phe rayong? Been here 14 years. Never heard of a D&D club. Here! Open club?

How is your relationship with your girlfriend in Pattaya? How would you compare dating in thailand to the usa?

Seems like most of your expectations are on a personal level and not because of Pattaya other than swimming in beach!

Your pronouncing Pattaya basically correct! It’s not Pattaya Tie ya which drives me nuts!

Pratumnak walk.

These jump cuts are making me nauseous 🤢

Happy belated birthday bro. One day I'll move over

A lot of Gym exercises are terrible on your body. Walking up hills is the key to longevity.

i finally checked out the jazz pitt a coupleof months ago. great location and venue. it feels like your at a resort there when right in the middle of jomtien. the musicians were great too. bit expensive food and drink wise but great atmosphere. thanks again for your advice with ths

mate have you got yourself down to sai kaew beach yet. its actually really nice and the water is clean enought to swim. i was hanging there at least 3 times a week. a swim up and down the beach is a good km so great for exercise. you should head down there mate for your beach days. avoid weekends and buddha holidays as theres to many people. in saying that theres usually good eye candy though. im actually a bit dissapointed to have to have left bang saray but my new missus moved to hua hin and ive followed her there
