Marsilius, I don't think you're the odd one out. Like yourself, I no longer think about how great it would be to live in Pattaya (or Thailand) full time (well, not every day). And maybe that's what the OP was asking, since he seems to spend a longer time in Thailand than us 2 or 3 weeks tourists. But I am generally sad to leave and always feel I could stay for longer, if finances and circumstances would allow.
