I live in Mueang Sukhothai and see many a "Farrang" knocking about.

Many communities have little social groups that get together for beer, golf and other such frivolities.

I don't know if foreigners in Sukhothai just don't want anything to do with each other as I see some chaps quite frequently who do the don't make eye contact with the white folk shuffle. I'm not too saddened by this as its different strokes for different folks I get that.

Is there any groups who do get together and frankly get away from the missus or get out the house for a few hours.
I live here full time and work here also, so when I finish work I usually go home and settle down with some T.V or house chores.

Anyway love to get some input on the subject..................

Take care

Darren.

Sounds good Chris, unfortunately my clubs are in England and my brother wont give me them back now lol.
I will eventually get round to purchasing some and I would enjoy playing in Pitsanulok.
I have been to a few driving ranges here and rented clubs, not the same though.


Thanks
Darren.

Very private folk it seems the Sukhothai lot are.

My wife and I are regular visitors to Sukhothai as we have a recently built a house and have family there about 20 km from the City.
I have also wondered what the social activities of the local farangs are.
Though I'm not the most outward going of people, I wouldn't mind meeting up with a few people for a beer or 2 and to put the world to rights.

I'm pretty much the same, I wont go out of my way to be more outgoing, I'm happy mostly in my bubble but sometimes I want to as you say, meet up with like minded folk and drink a few beers.

Where is 20km away? My In-Laws live in Ban Dan Lan Hoi about 35km from where I live in Mueang.

Nothing in Khrimat, though there is now a small 7-11 at one of the fuel stations.
But I still like the place. People are friendly, though they do tend to stare at the "white man" a bit.

Not really a early indicator of things to come, some people living here do like to stay private, it happens all the time reminds me of way neighbours carry on and what they do in England.

Just because we live in Thailand doesn't mean we have to carry on like Thais.   

I usually ignore other farang as you say unless they come up to me and ask something, only because most of them are tourist.

I have acquaintances in the village but they don't drink and are of different ages have different interests and are foreigners
Sukhothai friends I have usually come up to the old city Muang Kao 12 km out for a beer with me, mainly I go to what I call ' Pub 7 ' because it's right adjacent to 7-11.
We sometimes meet in the First One restaurant in the park, and then go on to pub 7, if later than 7.00pm we go to Kacher Restaurant but they charge tourist rates.

If you want to pop up sometime PM me, I usually go for a beer at 5.30 or 6.00pm, your welcome. K

Yeah maybe not an early indicator.
Lots of window twitching neighbours and walking past each other in the street never speaking for years, yeah sounds like were in England after all.

Its unfair to rule out all tourists, I do entertain the pretty tourists they will always get my attention

I don't know First One restaurant. I think I know where you might have a beer at 'Pub 7' if im looking at the 7-Eleven theres the road that runs down the side, your on the other side of the road, not opposite near the market. I understand adjacent just directions can be a pain sometimes. So far your directions are great with the dentist.

The invite is more than welcome and I might be free later on if your about.

Take it easy
