Have the Oscars become a fiasco?
OneMoreFarang replied to spidermike007's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Why care at all? If any movie received several Oscars then I might decided to have a look sometime - in case I didn't know it already. But watching who wins and who talks too much? What's the point? If anything exiting happens, then it will be in the news latest a day later. -
Is Starbucks the rightful King of the Coffee Universe?
OneMoreFarang replied to LaosLover's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Bigger serving? Seating area? Mythical global nomads? Is that what you are looking for? Or decent coffee? How can anybody expect great coffee from an American chain? I love espresso and I go to a few independent places which concentrate on great espresso and not all the unimportant things. And I am happy if I don't see any of those nomads. -
Moving away from using an agent
OneMoreFarang replied to eddyod's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If you are legal and fulfil the requirements what is the problem? In Thailand people are allowed to move from one place to another. -
Do Expats become estranged and socially alienated ?
OneMoreFarang replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Imagine if YouTubers wouldn't have to publish new videos all the time to keep their subscribers and income. Imagine they would only publish something if they really have something to say and insight into what they talk about... -
But probably they stay there and don't work near NANA.

I avoid anybody who is working on the street. Too much risk in multiple ways.

BEKO brand Air Conditioners
OneMoreFarang replied to NickyLouie's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Why would you even consider a cheap no brand name product? -
Children like 10 years old? Or 17 years old? It seems in Thailand, and not only Thailand, they are all mixed together in the word "children". If they are prepuberty children then I hope everybody involved will go for years to jail. If this is about teenagers who are almost 18, the age when lots of teenagers have anyhow sex, then this is obviously still illegal, but IMHO, a very different situation. There are lots of girls who look older than they are, ask Berlusconi.

a) Work: I met customers and co-workers. I think that is the best way, because we spend time with these people and after spending weeks with them, we get a pretty good idea how compatible we are. b) Find a Thai girlfriend and socialize with her friends, go to places which she knows already, discover new places, learn Thai, etc. c) After I lived in Thailand for some time my gf and I decided to learn and play pool. We went often to the same pool hall and obviously we meet other "players". Later we went regularly to the same pub with pool tables. Lots of regulars, lots of opportunities. We could have joined local tournaments and meet even more people. I guess without gf I would have done that. If I would now be new in a location and without work, I would probably find a nice place to play pool and meet people. Obviously it takes time. But spending time with something which we like and at the same time meeting new people is a good start.

There was a time when it was really necessary to have the newest version of Windows to be up to date and run all the new software. That time is long ago. Is there any program (now called App) out there which needs Windows 11? I don't think so, but I have to admit I didn't research the situation with the newest TikTok version. I have several PCs. On one of them I installed Windows 11 to get a first impression. It works. On other PCs I still use Windows 10 and I never got the feeling that I miss anything or a message like: You need to update Windows to be able to use this or that. I would install Windows 11 on any new PC. But in the moment I don't see a reason to update existing computers to Windows 11.

Do you try to be funny when you write: "Such people do not fit with the Thai culture around them, and don't belong here"? Scammers are everywhere, including in Thailand. And idiots are everywhere, including Thailand. How do you call a person who is willing to pay 300,000 THB to receive a package with a supposedly expensive gift from someone who they never met? I call such a person an idiot and not a victim. Most people understand the difference.

Yingluck or Michelle Yeoh? Netizens debate who's the best looking
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Obviously some women are (still) successful when they get older. And we can all respect women even if they are not good looking. But what's the point of arguing which old woman looks best? I guess the next thread will be about Brigitte Bardot - by now 88 years old. -
Thanks for your reply. I think it doesn't really matter. It seems too many "victims" fall for the same scams again and again. I understand that it can be exiting to be in love. But I will never understand how people think they have a serious relationship and/or want to marry if they never met before. Let's look what the AI future will bring us.

24V? IMHO nobody who asks such a question should work on electrical installations - especially not in a shower. Let someone do it who knows what he is doing!

IMHO only a very greedy person would do that. It's not about romance, it's about greed. I have no sympathy for such "victim".

Swiss central bank says it is ready to provide support to Credit Suisse
OneMoreFarang replied to Scott's topic in World News
I have little knowledge about banks. But that something like that can happen at all to such a big bank is scary. -
If you do for free for above group then don't worry. Friends will not report you to the authorities. But somehow I would be surprised if all the people who you work for are friends and friends of friends and if there is no compensation at all. Sometimes some people are not friends for a long time. And then they remember that that guy is doing illegal work which he is officially not allowed to do. And maybe someone will report you. Is the risk high? I don't think so. Is there a risk: yes.
