I want to 'retire' to Thailand/Hua Hin soon and I am 45. As I will probably be unable to get a job there, unless you know different ? what can I do to stop myself being bored Sh*tless and keep me out of the boozer during daylight hours ??
Not just prcscct, but any one any suggestions or their own experiences ?
I think the trick is to find something that you enjoy that dosn't involve booze. That could be walking the beach, playing golf, messing about on the computer, reading, gardening. Anything really as long as you fill your time in. I came over here at 39, BTW.
Personally, I generally get up early - 5.30/6am. That's a good time for me to catch up on my business in the UK, read the papers etc etc. and it's not too hot.
About 9/10 am, maybe I go for a walk on the beach. That does involve a beer or three, but sitting alone on the beach. Maybe I do a bit of food shopping in town and visit a couple of bars and then home.
My yardstick is to get home before the schools finish. The roads are too dangerous then for my liking.
Before I know it, it's 5/6pm. Time for my wife or myself to cook. By the time we've eaten and cleared up, it's 8pm ish. I generally fall over and sleep then.
Quite easy, really. An important aspect is to try and keep my brain alive (which I don't do very successfully at 1am).
There's plenty to do, which can involve "having a few" during the daytimes at various bars.
Hope that helps.
