this is hard to answer because not only is it different for everyone, it changes for us on a regular basis. for example, when i first got here, day was:
11am wake up, shower, eat breakfast
play around on the internet/play poker until 2-3pm
hang around with my friends/watch them play poker/beach/pool/etc until 6ish
go somewhere to eat dinner around 7-8
go drinking at bars 10-11
disco 1-2
sleep 4-8
and that was pretty much my whole day. for awhile i was walking down teh mountain to Kata beach, and then hiking the length of Kata and Karon beach and back to my house every day, that would be a few hours every day around dusk.
sometimes we'll have a good basketball community and play 3 times a week @4pm in P-town (we're currently playing an average of once a week it seems) other sports happen as well. Football (Soccer), Volleyball, we've even had some Ultimate Frisbee games.
sometimes groups of 2+2'ers will go on streaks of lunching together every day, dinnering together every day, or both. one of my favorite stretches of time was a period where we had a large part of the community eating dinner together every night at various restaurants, while all the guys in Kata ate lunch together (usually Red Chair or Larb Kata) daily.
Black Friday has really screwed things up. previous to BF, the best time to grind for most people was 9am-1pm, which favored people waking up, grinding, lunching, going out and partying, and repeating. now, prime time has changed to be 11pm-5am or so.
community get togethers vary as well. my first 6 months or so here my house had a rooftop BBQ for the whole community every Friday, and other people would have get togethers about once a month or so. now, it seems like we average that kind of get together about once a month.
we're hitting scandi homecoming season, when the blonde haired people with funny looking letters in their language go home to visit their families for a stretch. I guess that's only two people this year, but still that's a multi week to multi month stretch of losing guys who live here.
money also influences my schedule. i'm currently busto-ish, so I'm grinding regularly and not going out hardly at all. My Girl has been living with me for the past two months, and i'm cooking a lot more rather than going out to eat a lot. those factors change things for me.
There are enough people around that it would be pretty easy if someone was motivated to, to have community beach outings regularly. it's not really happening right now, but there's more beaching going on than usual these days.
i guess that's about my best breakdown of what life is like. really, you can live whatever lifestyle you want here... and since so many people are considering moving here after BF, the community dynamic is bound to change drastically, who knows what will happen.
