Like the idea of going to Mexico, Costa Rica too......

Take care out there!

Everyone here cant live without beer?

If i didn't live in se asia, i'd choose mexico
wonderful country, great food, welcoming people, great beaches, cool cites, good value
Spent lots of time there in the 70's
PLUS easy, quick access to the states

just stay away from the cartel areas

I don't drink for a month when I visit the UK because I spend quality time with my mother as opposed to going out to the pub.. The difference here is the climate, outdoor lifestyle and a social life, nothing better than stopping off for an open air ice cold beer and a chat after a beach walk, especially if you live alone. I regard it as healthy not some sort of a problem.

What do you drink when you socialise ? Part of the non alcohol issue I have is finding a satisfying alternative to a beer, soda water is tasteless and cokes etc don't seem a healthy alternative.

You take care of yourself too. Sounds like your time is up in Thailand.

Mexico is very nice (from my limited knowledge) and if you get down as far as Colombia their health service is ranked #22 in the world, which is a very important factor for older expats. I would wait a while though, they are all going through hell with Covid-19.
