When you live in Thailand, life isn’t much different than anywhere else you have ever lived.
Sooner or later the newness wears off and it becomes life just like everywhere else.
Even Thai Life can get boring for Thai people, just ask anyone.
Sabai Sabai!
I think people in Thailand always wish they have more than they do, and this leads to a form of silent depression whether they show it or not.
After a while comes the realization that is all you will have the rest of your life and you have to accept it.
Where the majority of foreigners fail, is not realizing without a guaranteed holiday budget every year, your life here will be anything but a holiday.
If you are not traveling to all the tourists hotspots, are you going to be content living in the same spot the rest of your life?
Puttering around the house doing chores, or living in a beach front condo hanging out on a bar stool the rest of your life?
Neither choice sounds very exciting but that is the way life works out, whether in Thailand or anywhere else in the world.
Understanding that life here is anything but a holiday will help you plan over the years and keep you from getting bored.
Finding hobbies and things to do that will keep you excited.
You can only see so many temples before they all start to look the same.
Things change here over time and you have to really grow into living here and understanding this is now your life and it isn’t going to be a full time holiday unless you have a ton of money!
Enjoy what you have, not want you wish you have!
