In a strange way I am glad I was able to really crack down and work for a few years without the Thai addiction hitting me then..

It wasnt the most fun period of my life as I simply worked every hour I was awake, every day of the week, to make and grow a company.. 18 hour days, 7 days a week, for months at a time..

If I had Thailand batting around in my head I dont know if I would have been able to hold my nose to the grindstone then..

I also see young expats just getting by, with no security, often being helped by parents, and now job job skills or career and a big hole in any employment record.. A gap year is one thing but I tend to see many of those lives as lives without much future and no security at all..
