    Reality is no matter where a person goes everything becomes the same. People will always be "searching". You can move to every place on this earth and you will eventually fall into a routine. The beauty of life is having peace within. As long as you have that it doesn't matter where you are at. This is not directed at James per se, it's just life perspectives. Like someone said having hobbies keeps you busy.

    Grab's improving. Last time in Pattaya, Grab was cheaper for one of my trips than Bolt. Grab and Bolt both take credit cards. Vastly better than having to mess about with cash. (And those Thai-only QR codes are just pointless junk for most of us.) All the better if you have a credit card that gives bonus points for transport services. (Though that doesn't work for Bolt, because Bolt doesn't code its industry correctly.)

      @@ChocolateManInThailand From what I've heard, the bureaucracy of Thai banks is insane, the difficulty for foreigners opening accounts varies from branch to branch, the interest rates are crap and the credit cards are lousy. Far less hassle and far better value to just use US credit cards wherever possible, such as on Bolt, Grab, MRT, bus to Pattaya, etc, and use cash for the rest.
