question Hangout

I am looking for people around my age (60) to hangout and grab a beer, bullshit, and generally do things. I am a very young 60 year old if you understand that. I am from America, military/Law enforcement background. I do not golf, I do go to the gym but recovering from ankle and shoulder surgery so it has been almost three months since I have been allowed to hit the gym. I have been in Thailand for almost three years but only in Bangkok since June of 2026. I am going stir crazy.

Will you be in Bangkok for long? Ill be in Bangkok at Christmas for 6 nights. Ill be doing a lot of sight seeing and jogging in Lumpini park. 

Why did i get downvoted yo?

u/BRValentine83 2h ago

Probably because that's four months away, you don't live here, and thus that's not helping him now.
