Bad thing is that I can't swim anymore and I have to cut my evening alcohol consumption

Get yourself a nice lady friend. Thailand is full of them. Just make sure you wear a helmet. As it were.
Oh but I'm not in Thailand, but in Sri Lanka. And I have my lady (friend) with me. Luckily I drive alone ONLY with a motorbike, guess today was a good reminder. Been to TH 20 times though, I take it as my second home.
