Should I go to Thailand Solo or with my friend?
Meant to be going to Pattaya in September with a friend (first time) for him. However he has a habit of cancelling plans last minute.
We had two nights out planned in the UK (drinking) first time he cancels because he said he didn't feel well.
Only 3 weeks later, he cancels another plan, because he claims his family member is sick (not sure if he was being honest) Both of us booked the same hotel for September, however it's one of those bookings where you can cancel at any time and you don't pay till a few days before check-in (not fully committed)
Couple of issues: 01. He is financially struggling, where as I have plenty of savings & could fly out tomorrow. My worry is, he could bail out of the trip, due to lack of finances. 02. He might bail out of the trip, for some other reason.
- I asked him a few weeks ago, wether he is still coming to Pattaya, he said yes, however he was a little vague with his answer. He didn't sound very confident & certain and excited about it.
Red flag.. The hotel we booked has dropped in it's price.. therefore I canceled my room and rebooked it again, at a lower price & saved myself £120 I suggested to him he could do the same & save himself £50, however he didn't do the rebooking. If he was certain about going, why wouldn't he save himself some cash? Considering he trying to save for this trip.
I am actually ready and able to fly out to Pattaya in 2 weeks time, as I have the money already, the flights are quite cheap at this moment and I am not busy with my work (self employed)
Do you think I should just ditch him and go solo?
