Bored?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Bored?

Post by EdinWigan »

Now, I know this might sound a little strange but I am considering moving out to Asia, at the end of 2014. A whole life style change, leaving my hamster wheel behind and taking a more relaxed 'Me' attitude to life.

I have asked many question both here and on other forums and had some great advice.

I have now narrowed my initial destination down to four locations: Siem Reap, Chiang Mai, Da Nang and Ipoh, with Cambodia looking the front runner. I have visited Cambodia twice, for a couple of months at a time and loved the place.

What do you do to stop getting bored? I know it sounds a strange question but what 'Other' activities do you fill your time with ?

What other activities relieve your boredom now?

As money goes further in Asia I believe you'll have more options to overcome boredom. Not less

Yes, but things like golf are much more expensive there, Siem Reap green fees top $100

I was more just wondering what other activities people do or is leisure time - beer time ?

Don't get me wrong, I do love a beer but I am just curious what else is available

I've found if people aren't able to function normally, have interesting lives, do meaningful (to them) work, have successful relationships, engage in hobbies or interests etc in their own country, their future destination will not be some lifestyle panacea for them.

If all else fails do what the rest of us did - addictions, addictions, addictions....

Are you a Chiang Mai person or a Khao San Road kind of dude? For good weed, seeing naked Australians or the American way of ''gun should be legalized'.' I recommend Sihanouke Ville.

Blow jobs are a good healthy hobby. Receiving them I mean.

Brother, if you get bored then you are simply a boring person in the end. You can always find things to keep your mind and body active where ever you are. PP has all one could want - if they take advantage of the potential here. If you're a substance addict then this entire region aint that good of an idea. Then again where is a good place for an addict really? Rehab?

There are gyms & pools aplenty here, there are many cultural activities, with a kindle a massive supply of books are available, there are a many side trips and nearby places to visit, opportunities to volunteer if so inclined, etc., etc.

In short, personally speaking, it is what is inside your brain which determines "boredom" not the place. Really. Especially if you have dosh & don't have to work this is a great place to live...and die in style. As in the soft sweet loving arms of a female native...

Ipoh should not even be on the list, Penang would be a better choice

Chaing Mai offers more than the others but the visa situation deteriorates in Thailand for long term stayers ( unless your over 50)

If i was to move back to Cambodia was thinking of SR as;
varied places to live, large expat community, western goods and food available,

No idea about Da Nang.
But so many questions.
Do you need to work being the front runner

I doubt there is a definite answer to your inquiry. The typical answer as usual is find some hobbies. But in a small town like Siem Reap, if you want to live a primitive life,...haha, I mean hang out and mingle with the locals; you gotta assimilate, hard to escape from boozing. Have your own own space, read, troll online, posting a bowl of spicy fried noodle on Facebook and having a companion nagging every morning on what the f*** you been up to last night...and by that time having rice with no fish sauce and chopped fresh chilli on top will make you feel like the meal is incomplete.
